everybody's hyped for the new 1FAE9 FACE WITH BAGS UNDER EYES, which I mean, :big_mood:, but for you appreciators of text-presentation glyphs, might I draw your attention to the new range "Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement" (1CC00–1CEBF) that includes several gaming sprites from retrocomputer codesets including Pac-Man, a full set of Space Invaders, 1CC96 FLAPPING BIRD and so on—as well as a full set of box characters for emulators?

Another section showing some old terminal drawing elements ("white lower left pointer", "two rings aligned horizontally", "inverse black diamond" etc.) and more game sprites (such as tanks and racing cars and fish in various positions).

Yeah, one of those…
Radio Irrtum! announcements

↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓

Attention. The has arrived and wants its tape loops back!

All that and more at… RADIO IRRTUM! — Saturday, 2024-03-16 at 8:00PM (UTC+1) at Alex Berlin/FM 91 MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D, or via stream: https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio/15-live-auf-91.0

Irrtum! is a German language exploring the sonic vastnesses of the underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard all over the genre spectrum from all over the world. Btw.: Forget about that German language aspect - it's all about the music… as in:

But can you withstand the genre jumping overdoze?
This time the Fediverse is represented via one track by , which is the most talented @oleksiy !
Also lots of powa female energy in it! And... tape machines!
On top of that thanks to @mistfunk for raising my attention towards @pixelblip (not active here anymore unfortunately) so I could inject his animated art into my video teaser (see below!).
As always I'll post playlist and manuscript later here (provided I’m at home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions about the music – I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

C U all tonight! :)

↑↑↑ English version above, the German one is still below ↓↓↓

Der Underground hat angeklopft und will seine Bandschleifen zurück! Oder Bandschleichen. Was weiß denn ich?
Jedenfalls — 1 Monat is rum, Radio Irrtum! ist wieder da! Und zwar Samstag Abend, 20 Uhr über Alex Berlin auf FM 91MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D (Stream URL oben).

Radio Irrtum! ist meine Radiosendung, in der wir zusammen die Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforschen mittels Musik folgender Genres:

  • fast schon gotischen (so sagt man, oder?) Shoegaze Dreampop
  • Leicht verdaulicher IDM Pop
  • seltsame Nujazz
  • Bass mit echten Drums & überhaupt: Weirdes Zeugs
  • TechKraut
  • Bandschleifen, vlt. auch Bandschleichen
  • Verträumte Elektronik
  • Hardcore
  • Alternativ-Rock
  • eingebildete Filmmusik
  • bluesy Liedermacherei

Grüße und Videoteaser-Credits oben, Playlist + Manuskript nach der Show (spätestens Sonntag) hier drunter. Fragen einfach stellen – ich antworte!

Bis denne… vielleicht ;)

You can get Ceefax via a Pi, but behold it in its most exotic of habitats

A quick I made for the short but sweet 'Spirit Zone' party yesterday (18th Jan 2024) - I placed first in combined gfx, but in fairness, there were only three entries :) Still, I love making these :)

So I'm watching Nathan Dane's livestream of "Pages from "...

...and this has me being reminded of when was used in the 1980s here in the United States. Of course, it never really caught on in the US (or in North America, for that matter).

However, it's great to see that more and more improvements are being made to Nathan's version of Ceefax, including live news updates (under the "Ceefax Files" banner) and a programming schedule for BBC's radio networks, which I now noticed.

I had no idea it was still going but ... soon it won't be.

RTÉ is turning off Aertel, its teletext service, in about a week's time.
