The first thread was derailed by the message about his death. So I renamed it  (as it had a very "then" inapprobriate title). Other threads were created afterwards - If we merge them this will surely merge "by date" ... which can create an odd "chain".

There three threads. In a sense of testaments there could be any number of them without any upper limit. Just thought it would be easier to follow and comment. But also agree with you so either way is super fine with me.

I think theres only 2 threads about Mark's passing, I see your point CA, but - let them stand as individual testaments to the man. I've always fancied going to New Zealand..... no time like the present!

To any MOD, maybe you could merge all the Mark R.I.P. threads into one? Maybe it's better if it's all in one place?

Well said Amon. On a lighter note congrats to Gukesh.

Mark's passing has reminded me how close to that finish line I'm getting. I'm nearly 50. Can't believe how long blitz products have been in my life. Thank you mark for providing tools that allowed me to learn and have fun. R.I.P

Qube ... if you like the wax faces in True Lies (DNR, digital AI upscale) then enjoy the Alien 4K BR ... else use the normal 2K one or even the DVD (if you have).

You can never go wrong with watching Aliens ;D I've not watched the 4K version I bought yet as they've re-colour graded it and hopefully it doesn't change the 'feel' of the film. I guess there's no harm in forcing myself to watch it, you know, it's the only way to be sure :))

Steve Elliott

2024-12-11, 21:45:00
lol it's a classic.

William

2024-12-11, 21:36:16
Alright Steve. Maybe I'll watch it again too, sometime. There's been lots of reference to it :p

Steve Elliott

Just bought another copy of Aliens, people. Some ultra 4K Blueray version from HMV. Buy a copy....And stay frosty.

@Amanda Dearheart I've edited my post

2024-12-10, 20:01:33
On the top right there is "unread posts" and "updated topics" - both should do what you want: give you "the new stuff"

Baggey

2024-12-10, 19:43:04
We need a longer recent post list im getting fed up searching!

William

2024-12-09, 21:52:21
Nvm I'm quite sick. Carry on.

William

Baggey, I think to from this site frequently. I only check back for users like you. I really wish I could move on

Baggey

2024-12-09, 18:52:11
Hi William. Dont let someone else spoil your life. People can be real shits. prtend to be your friend and looking out for you. Then they dump you! In English we call this two faced. Move on before it gets the better of you. ;D

William

2024-12-08, 19:56:00
@Baggey I want to clarify I have thought that actually

Baggey

2024-12-08, 17:14:46
We have a few people in the ouse tonight!  :D

If not for those people I would have been a mega millionaire who caused me to lose faith. And it's those people who ruin it for the rest of us, say there are good people here it's those people that make me think nobody is a friend.

William

2024-12-08, 04:45:00
Stupid me. I had to relogin and i regurgitated that.

William

2024-12-08, 04:40:34
@Baggey ive never thought I lost because of bitcoin. It's possible. But Ive always thought it was bad, horrible people that led me to believe they were my friend. Makes me consider ive never had one.

William

2024-12-07, 21:55:22
Er ah talking about a meet up I thought baggey asked

William

2024-12-07, 21:01:23
That guy actually introduced me to porter who made a lot of good music based on myself online including other artists

William

2024-12-07, 20:58:39
@Baggey I don't know you. Even the one guy I talked to every day for some years it would have been bad how different we are in walk of life. He wouldn't show his face to me and I exposed myself and was codependent. I gave this site to him in 2012? Unsure. Hah :P I just think me and the world are so ill. But I read you. I'm afraid to send this somebody getting hurt. But if you are in a bad life situation like me I can understand.

Baggey

2024-12-07, 08:47:39
It would be nice to meet up with some of our overseas friends as well But that depends on budget i suppose.

Qube

2024-12-07, 05:39:44
A meetup would be great and there is s thread about it. We just need to really put the effort in to arrange it.

MrmediamanX

2024-12-04, 22:20:40
@Qube Steve might be on to something, make an event out of it. :)

Steve Elliott

2024-12-04, 19:34:38
@Qube maybe a meet-up could motivate us (I've been contacted about this). Obviously we have Christmas and New Year to get out of the way so I think it's 2025.I'll keep an eye out on what events are happening at RMC that might appeal to SB Members. It seems RMC are pooling their resources and are looking stronger. It's a great location because they have all the computer stuff upstairs and an arcade downstairs.  :D

Baggey

2024-12-04, 18:26:35
Im still learning! But when i make a game watch out  ;D 

Qube

2024-12-04, 12:22:02
@MrmediamanX I didn't think anyone was that interested when I asked?. If there's interest I'll happily get one sorted so we can all get hammering the keys.

Bloody hell I just thought James Blunt was not my kinda music - but love his Twitter witty comebacks to the trolls lol. I've for the first time seen his video for 'Monsters' where he thought his Dad was near death. It hit a chord with me.

Just think a moment what is in media these days ... and what is required to train them ;) - this should answer your question about "guests".

Baggey

2024-11-30, 11:19:16
I have no idea what a spam bot is or the use for it :-[ I suppouse i could google?

dawlane

2024-11-30, 11:01:52
@Baggy That's because they are all spam bots trying to break in.

Baggey

2024-11-30, 10:11:07
There are 1,873 Guest's? Yet only 3 users. I always find that strange. If people find the site that interesting and useful why not become a member? ;) Your new worklog is awesome!

Midimaster

2024-11-30, 09:16:42
Something strange is going on here in SyntaxBomb. Yesterday I had 200 views (as expected) on my new WorkLog. 6 hours later it has changed to >3500.

If you are around here (Sg/Malaysia/Borneo), ill invite ya to join me and my buddies in the jungle (real tribe). They will 'fix' you my friend, in no time. All this so called 'modern' commodities, very quickly turn to be a massive burden in life. These jungle folks are so happy all the time, its really hard to explain to 'modern' people but i strongly believe that most of humans have lost their way..

@Baggey, I've posted a topic about the new Ant Attack that was revealed at Crash.

dawlane

2024-11-26, 17:40:53
I here that some of Retro Games the Spectrum have been shipped out in test mode So you have to down load a fix to bypass it.

Baggey

2024-11-26, 17:25:43
I loved Ant Attack. I wonder if it will be a direct rewrite or added levels? Apparently Sandy White did the origonal on scrap paper :-X

Steve Elliott

2024-11-26, 15:54:03

Nice spread (And still going) of snow here in the North East of Angleterre. To be fair, the only time I like snow is when I'm in the house, with the heating on, and not a single plan to go anywhere! :D hehehe

@Naughty Alien When I was at the Nissan plant, working on the smoke vents on the top of the shops, me and a fella (Who worked at the plant for years) used to get attacked by the gulls when their bairns were hatched and nesting... Anyway, he put up with it for years, the funniest thing is though, when he was say, in Sunderland city centre, they used to spot him and go for him, noone else, just dived bombed the life out of him! :D lol Really funny and actually amazing at the same time! :)

@Steve Elliott  yes, thats exactly what i wanted to expand dialogue to..i often walk outside and spend some time nearby seaside..eventually, by doing so, i turned out to be a good buddy with local gang of crows..they are literally standing on my hand and eating from my other hand, while i talk to them..its hard to explain how relieving is that..then some passing by woman, had to come and say hi to me, to explain to me how 'romantic' is that, without realizing that she busted my whole crow bonding joy..now i meet my winged buddies slightly off that same place..so, you never know whats out there..highly recommended, except this woman part.. ;D

I can see where NA is going with this. I was incredibly stressed with life and work. One day I said sod it I'm getting out of the house, away from my computer, getting out and about. For me I jumped on a train and visited my capital city, walking around and finding new places I had never seen before. Fresh air, exercise so I felt so much better. A bike would help is there are mobility issues.

Naughty Alien

@William do you have a bicycle or similar thing ?

I did read the small print for orders at the weekend. They were telling porkies. The chair turned up at half 7 in the morning. And sofar I'm happy with it. It's a  much better build than the crap they palm off to punters at argos.
