Prediction: Now that modern computing is going the way it goes (pricing, "AI", the bunch of rich ignorants running the show), I guess we are going to see another renaissance of #vintagecomputing #permacomputing and #retrocomputing. And I’m absolutely and utterly here for that.

I am *delighted*!!! I have managed to resurrect (timing, eh?) my previously non-working #Psion Series 7!!! Screen has issues, but this is major progress! #Retrocomputing #Permacomputing

We all know what’s going on, but we can determine where we go from here. Like mycelium, we can decompose the rot and make new life.

Our Resistance Will Become Our Persistence
Like fungi, we will decompose the rot around us to create something new. On mycelium, permacomputing, and the fractals of a greater pattern.

Gonna pull off a quick hack soon.
Perhaps a well understood one, but a very powerful one nonetheless--
I will flash BASIC to a bare ATmega1284 chip, and then attempt to output its serial prompt to an LCD screen.
I am of two minds about where to do the devlog, either here or on the […]

Just prepped up a wee Psion Series 3a to lend to a colleague at work - let's see if this improves his productivity any, or if he is bemused by this GenX tech :-) #retrocomputing #permacomputing (I want to show him Dragonfell by @cyningstan.bsky.social ;-)

A few more Psion Siena repairs - tape for proof of principle - I'll be tidying this up in due course (with bookbinding tape - my fave). I'm starting to like the Siena again - it's limited, but dinky, super portable and crazy retro. #Psion #Retrocomputing #Permacomputing #RightToRepair

Once again having #PermaComputing thoughts and also feeling the frustration of just how much friction and sacrifice it would involve. I’m still hoping that if I think about it hard enough, I’ll find the right way in, and the right balance

I feel like I've got a blog post a-brewin' about retiring my Nook Glowlight 2 for a jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite 2 with #KOReader.
It might end up being two posts, once I've worked out how to set up #Wallabag on a #RaspberryPi 3B+.
Not Psion or retrocomputing, but definitely #permacomputing.
