    Spotify on Smart Speaker

    I suspect it'll mix the tracks up a bit with ones you haven't added - as it's a way to encourage you to pay, so you get ones you actually want.

    Visage - Fade to Grey (extended & original)

    No video sadly - was blocked by a hulk hogan impersonator so wasn't easy seeing and recording :(

    Visage - Fade to Grey (extended & original)

    Not quite the same thing - but I was lucky enough to see Midge Ure perform this at Rewind North a few years back - as a tribute to Steve Strange.

    Adele: another musical artist with an inflated sense of self entitlement imposes ridiculous restriction on Spotify listeners

    Think I'll stick to the Almighty Dance mixes of "Set Fire To The Rain" (Belle Lawrence) and hold back my pennies to her for being so awkward :)

    The New Sky Glass TV - an Unprecedented Hardware Land Grab?

    I've a Samsung standard Smart set myself. No real complaints - pictures ok, does what I need. Previously had a 3D set - but didn't work as well for others at home as myself, triggering migraines. Also a replacement was tricky to get when they got phased out. Sticking with more standard Smarts...

    The New Sky Glass TV - an Unprecedented Hardware Land Grab?

    Some would buy it no matter what. But here's something that always bugs me.... the adverts go on about how wonderful the new tv is for sound and picture. However - what are you watching it on? Your current set! So really how can you say the quality is much better?! Why do people fall for that...

    Mechanical Keyboards for the SAM Coupé

    Correct - on the production machine you've the normal shaped keys. Here's my removed keyboard with faulty membrane (above) and the new one (below) - just before I installed it. The other model of Mechanical keyboard uses the keycaps from the original - but I prefered the Prototype style :)

    Mechanical Keyboards for the SAM Coupé

    Interesting random fact though... You may notice my SAM has the drive on the right side... machines sold originally had them on the left, SAMs sold later by "West Coast" (aka Format) switched to the right side. Oddly enough the original prototype also had a right hand drive, so the Prototype...

    Mechanical Keyboards for the SAM Coupé

    Finally had some time to myself! So - out with the old keyboard - with not very reliable membrane.... And in with the new one - in Prototype style :) My keyboard interface can be seen on the side - I wont need this very often now, perhaps just for shows, as the key response is really nice :)

    A surprisingly fast 3D engine for the Commodore 64/128

    Certainly is something I'm looking forward to seeing develop more :)

    64 OS makes a C64 feel fast and useful in today's modern world

    A more text based approach should certainly make it a bit quicker than GEOS. Although that was rather nice on the C64, if a little slow.

    TV Themes That Should Never Have Had Lyrics

    I don't know how true this is - but seem to recall reading that having lyrics, even if not always used, will increase the royalty percentage. Another one that fortunately you don't hear the lyrics of too often.... the Rambo theme - which I believe was initially sung by Frank Stallone. Oh and...

    The New Sky Glass TV - an Unprecedented Hardware Land Grab?

    I've not been a Sky fan for years. Although I had to go to to the darkside via NOWTV to watch a few programs I was missing. But as someone who prefers voucher only payment, they restricted this too much to be useful. So I do without now. Sounds like this is taking the all-in-one idea to the...
