Here’s a rather well-made though eccentric video about a compiler I wrote almost 40 years ago. I still sell copies of the manual periodically! https://t.co/4r6U5qvpOO

@CH_LFC @Checkatrade Checkatrade stole my phone number and are now spamming me with texts. Their instructions to stop this do not work, and I gather from others that they will try to charge people to stop their spam. Bunch of crooks.

Catch my latest global retro audio experiment on RadioLab! Starts about two minutes in, bring a ZX or Timex micro for the treat at the end... https://t.co/nBYS2EdTJR

Oh, fame at last! I’ve made it onto The Register. Nice write up and the inevitable Crash magazine eulogy.

I'm unravelling VR, console and mobile interactive sound tech - the standards we set and those we ignore, and why - at the 7th Audio Developer Conference (ADC) in London and cyberspace for two days, mid-November 2021. The timetable’s up now at https://t.co/EBBzRTZlzf #ADC21 #DSP

An opportunity to find out about some of what I’ve been up to in the two years since I finished Beep2boom, and maybe join in on an exciting project, if you grok Unity & Wwise: https://t.co/oDUbfW8ApP

Shocking lack of transparency from AES, following e.g. withdrawal of local payment support for the biggest non-US AES group, harming almost 1000 members (for now).

Even when ordered by parliament to share this document, our government could not resist hiding a key paragraph and heavily re-spinning the title.

Here’s a comparison with the earlier leak.

Shocking that they thought they could get away with this and not be found out...

[Rosamund Urwin @RosamundUrwin]

What's different about the new Yellowhammer document that the government has just published compared with the one I got hold of last month? The heading.
What did the version I had say? BASE SCENARIO
Now what does the new one say? HMG Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumptions

@ZX_Horace Me too, badges are a great way to declare allegiance and find kindred spirits in the crowd. 🙂

Huge thanks to @SimonNGoodwin, @professornewman, and Joe Tozer for their help with putting together this article, and thanks also to @reggitsti for writing the amazing book Electronic Dreams, which was invaluable for research. (Go buy it, it's great.)
