Do you #rent in #Ontario? Consider helping #ACORN tenants' union by filling out their rental map. From them: "A rental registry means more transparency for renters and better #housing data to protect affordable housing, inform stronger policies, and enforce existing protections for #tenants facing #renoviction or major rent increases."
https://rentalregistry.ca/en/on/form/step-1
It takes 30 seconds to practice #solidarity, which imo is hella rad.

I made this Byte video loop in Oct 2020. The grublets were released outside.

Who likes #Acorn #Archimedes stuff? I managed to obtain this huge folder of services manuals for several different models. In the back it even has schematics for the A3000 which unfolds to what must be at least A1 size.
Mmm, feeling good - fixed a bug in a 1986 #Basic interpreter. One byte fix... one bit really.
#Acorn 's Basic IV for 32000, turns out USR was mis-coded, so with a bit of help from a friend, found the bad code and poked it into a better state.

I've been squirrel mode for weeks tasting bur oaks for the poor proles almanac bur oak contest. Link below.
Anyway, today I found some that I can eat without processing that taste good. I might describe them as peanut-ey, though not quite as sweet.
Like chestnuts and other nut trees, oaks have been historically and will continue to be an important food source for people in the future as climates shift.
Bur oaks are almost certainly a crop that was managed generationally for higher production and better flavor by Indigenous people of Turtle Island.
This contest is trying to find the best tasting and largest (not necessarily at the same time) fruits of that labor and move them north into new range to help in a changing climate, and sharing the best with community.

Virtual cassette PlayUEF v2 is a side project I only get brief moments to work on. Luckily you can already use v1 here http://playuef.8bitkick.cc #retrocomputing #acorn #80s #cassette

More #reference pics - This is your #acorn on drugs. The chemically induced distortion started with a wasp laying eggs and progressed though weirdness. Like a mushroom and some popcorn decided to see how sh*tfaced they could get and then make babies. It's really pretty fascinating, there's even a British plant #gall society https://www.britishplantgallsociety.org/
To be politically correct, we’re actually “mammalian-impaired” or “bipedal-abominations.”

It's #acorn season again. The squirrels will be happy.

Just some shots of acorns. I was walking Hazelnut in the area the other day and noticed there were tons of acorns on the ground. For as hot as it's been, I feel like this is a sign of fall? #summer #fall #nature #acorn #oak #oaktree #photography #naturephotography #naturelovers #sonycameras #sonya7rv #AdobeLightroom

Hello #hivemind, does anyone know the case #screw #dimensions for the BBC Micro A/B and Acorn Electron please?

I wonder if anyone knows the original developer of the Graphic Adventure Creator (Sean Ellis), and the people who ported it to the #Speccy (Brendan Kelly), #C64 ("The Kid" Malcolm Hellon), #BBCMicro and #Acorn #Electron (both Dave Kirby)?
It would just be cool if they still had the original plans of how it worked, even if the code is long gone.

Even more corrosion damage on this #Acorn #Archimedes A5000 to repair!
https://linuxjedi.co.uk/2023/07/12/acorn-archimedes-a5000-restoration-part-3/
An #Acorn #Archimedes A5000 turned up today. Going to need a bit of a cleanup. I'll look forward to trying it out this weekend.
Fun learning of the week, the Bayblend polycarbonate+ABS blend used in #Acorn RiscPCs cannot be glued with 2-part epoxy. It did not bond at all.
The search is on for a good compatible glue.
