Another Drive Error
Diamondmax 10, model 6b1OPO, 160GB. All was good. Copied about 70meg of music to it. Windows reports a corrupted image and says to run chkdsk. I check the file and yup, it’s not right. I go to run chkdsk and it says it needs to do so at reboot. Odd considering it’s a second drive, [...]

Infocom
Many moons ago – back in the Amstrad CPC6128 days (when I could write assembler) I played a lot of text adventures: Several years ago I bought The Lost Treasures Vol 2 which I still have. All the docs, the book, the 3 FD’s. Because some adventures I wanted to play were not on that [...]

Living On
Ages and ages ago I posted something along the lines of “What would happen if I died and how would you know”. I still have no answer, but Myspace has: http://www.mydeathspace.com. A strange place if for no other reason that you know they are dead – and I found a few of the ‘obits’ there [...]
