Oh, Wordstar(tm), what have we become?

I still remember Ctrl-K-B and Ctrl-K-K to mark the beginning and end of a block respectively; the second letter in those combinations being the first and last letters of the word "block", which was what passed for an intuitive user interface in those days

The column selection mode was useful when working with hex or binary representations of data, too. I used WordStar (or the clone NewWord) as my primary text editor when writing several games in 8086 assembly language

...Photos/walkthrough being done this morning. That’s THIS MORNING. The first morning with cloudy skies in about a month.

As if by magic, the sun appeared about 30 seconds before the photographer. She's now going round doing the stills, then the video comes later.

My photographer friend provides photography training for estate agents as a (quite lucrative) sideline, but I'm not sure if it's just about framing, lighting, and using the right lenses to make rooms look bigger, or if there's also a module about Photoshopping out stray socks

And all of the possible rain and thunderstorms between now and Sunday have been withdrawn from service

There seems to be a thundercell moving slowly northwards at the moment.

Lightning & Thunderstorms - United Kingdom, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland

You might just get the extreme western edge of it if you're lucky.

I rather miss the facilities for columnar frigging about that the General Automation line editor provided.

Though, to be honest, I haven't needed them much in the intervening 30 odd years.

Oh, how @K=Y, and @col=1,72 just trips off the fingers.

Or @1/5,P to list the first five lines of a file.

Or the joy of having to close the file down and reopen it if it was too big to fit in memory and the first bit was no longer accessible.

How we laughed.

Who are you again?

Having decided to wash the decidely gamey cords I wear in the house, decided to do the smalls out of the washbasket too, and it's all hanging on the line at the moment.

Picked up the windfall and jackdaw-fall pears which reduced me to a state of extreme perspiration, thusly I am now in the living room typing away in my underpants.

An occasional visitor these days.

Not been around very much in recent years.

Afternoon all

And yes, it is afternoon here on the mainland

[norrahe]

Balmy 30c here in cloggers, still no sign of any thunderstorms.

Dejunking my PC. Opened a Word file to see what it was, entire content - "I have no teeth". Not sure what that was about.

about the third bottle of Vodka?

Or is that just on Farcebook?
