I love how the Action Replay FLOPPY disk for Amiga 1200 loads into the high 1MB RAM space. No need for hardware. (note: Amiga 1200 has 2MB RAM by default).
I once played Ultima 6 from a RAM disk on an ST with 4MB RAM. Game install from 'Hard disk' to RAM disk - it didn't realise. And then I used bigger size floppy disks (940KB I think) and a fast copy utility to get those 3 disks to start the game and when done, save the game and save it all off to 3 floppies. It was totally fast!
I got in touch with American Steve Jackson for permission to scan his game novel 'Stonekeep'. He didn't give permission.
Second, I got a Warlock of Firetop Mountain book off Ebay which was dedicated by Steve Jackson to a scottish landlady 'The best guesthouse in ---'. I got in touch with Steve about the book and he remembered it. I printed out the email to go in my rare WOFM book.
Finally, I was going to make an animated film of Rings of Kether but couldn't get the money to make it.
I got £2000 for reverse engineering Psion 5 Word and Sheet file formats (for a Psion based company) in 1998. I tried to get a job with the same company but they didn't want me, which is very sad.
I use CinemaParadiso. I thought Lovefilm was the only game in town. But I searched Google for 'UK DVD rental' and found CinemaParadiso. I signed up. That was 6 months ago. Now I watch about 3 disks a week and love the variety.
Just to clarify: I was a big fan of Lovefilm with 4 disks at once, but Amazon shut it down.
Just a note: CinemaParadiso has been a private company since 2003 so basically, it is unlikely to be shut down like Lovefilm. This means it will likely be around another 20 years.
In about 2005, I got the Lisp community to pick a Lisp logo on the newsgroup comp.lang.lisp. They came up with the 'Made with Lisp' lizard logo and I feel proud I got the ball rolling.
I have gone through several Psion 5's over the last few years. They all broke eventually - mainly the screen (ribbon cable).
Because I couldn't justify spending yet another £60 for a Psion 5 which soon breaks down, I run Epoc Agenda now on my Windows PC on an EPOC emulator, and it's great for keeping track of events.
