Stoke me a Clipper... I'll be back for Christmas!

Er. I may be missing something here, but isn't it smoke me a kipper?

You are. It's Arnold's first attempt at being/becoming Ace. He stumbles over the phrase, and the "old" Ace tells him he was once like him too, and "there's an Ace inside you, too" (Lister/Cat, I can't remember which: "Yeah, so deep he's been buried..." or something to that effect).

Tune!


Didn't think 90's Jungle / DnB would be on HN... Yes!

I always see the degradation argument.

I look after my vinyl with a properly calibrated turntable.

I will degrade faster than my records!


I have few vinyls that are from late 70's and it keeps playing like the first time. And I don't have a great turntable.


Unless you have one of those laser ones then that is physically impossible as there is always wear with each play, even if it is just a minute amount because there is always friction and degradation of the vinyl over time


Been using FreeBSD for years as well and donate to the Foundation annually. It's always my go to OS mainly because it's changes are never too dramatic!


ArtWorks is still around, and it works on Risc OS on the Raspberry Pi.

The Quake 3 source was fairly good...


As a C beginner getting into writing larger projects, especially in that sort of context, the quake source has been my reference on how to structure my code.


Oh, this +1. I ported it to another C dialect (test case for the compiler) and found those parts I touched well structured and easy to understand.



He really pushed identi.ca, there was a nice community there back in the day. It became a bit of a refuge from the noise on twitter. I had my identi.ca account in my sig file up until a couple of years ago. But I have largely lost interest in any of the social media platforms though I use twitter from time to time.


I had a habit of collecting white labels and test pressings of house and dance tracks, I have no idea what most of them are called or who they are by, but I can think of one and remember where it is in the crates.

If I had a load of Track 1's in iTunes, I wouldn't have a clue!


When HT first started appearing on P4 chips I was looking after NetWare, 2K and XP boxes, they would freak out with HT enabled all kinds of oddities, I suspect most because of the OS's not fully supporting it.

To this day I disable it by reflex on everything!
