@arroz @luisfcorreia For a Pixels Camp challenge a few years ago we had to use quite an overkill setup to get our 48K to load stuff from "tape".

It just didn't like any modern playback device unless we carefully tweaked the output levels.

Four years ago today, this challenge was wrapping up. Time flies...

Got a jolt of #nostalgia reading my notes for it. I remember the fun I had making it, and how good it felt watching others having fun with it too.

When I was a naive youngster, I used to think building things with a short shelf life was pointless. But turns out those can be the most rewarding.

And, to be honest, few things we build in this industry actually last.

you must return here with a shrubbery: the pixels camp quizshow qualifier treasure hunt • the bloggest of mendes

This is the story of how I locked myself inside my room for 29 hours and only left after finishing one of the craziest tech wargames/treasure hunt I have ever taken part in. Prelude # For those of you who don’t know, Pixels Camp has a quiz show.... | the bloggest of mendes | Ramblings on life, development and me. Failing. Eventually. Consistently.

10 years ago at #Codebits in #Lisbon (nowadays #PixelsCamp), one of the first (and few) conferences I travelled for that wasn't for work, paid my own way (while unemployed), didn't know anyone there beforehand, met lots of folks learnt so much & had a total blast. Hope to return one day!
Well I guess I was accepted to be able to go to #pixelscamp. My first time there after so many years wanting to go.

Pixels Camp 2017 edition is almost here!
