Oh yeah!

I had a 1245 back in the 80's and yes, did a lot of programming. At least until I reached the border of approximately 1500 bytes / chars of Basic code. No room for commenting!
But learned to do 'condensed programming'.

Late I found a book about assembler commands for this processor and did a lot of Peek & Poke of hex values into the memory and made my if-else and other loops even way smaller. As well as finding out stepping through the memory that there was a bit more of memory reserved for arrays and other stuff and used that for my small machine code stuff.

Oh memories. But it somehow degraded and I do not have it anymore . Used a E-500 later for calculation stuff but even way more powerfulnit never came close the feeling of that 1245 (1403 was even better but no money at that times).
A friend of mine even had that attachable thermopaper printer and probably I still have some assembler printouts...

So pichlo, you have my vote!!!

I was strangely elated to see this recently (those things are a plague):

Somehow I feel that "Sharp" fits here.

Well, that rock has some sharp edges

Is that one of those "pick it up anywhere, dump it anywhere" scooters?

It is.
And thanks for giving me an excuse to vent!
I hate these things, for so many reasons.
There's so many of them!
They are so new that we don't have any rules and regulations for them, resulting in:

• people driving very fast on the sidewalk
• people dumping them anywhere (specifically, in the middle of the bike lane) as soon as they're done - because "I don't own it so I don't care"
• kids wasting their allowances (they're not cheap you know)
• even more digital/mobile surveillance (impossible to use without a mobile device with GPS)

There's also a new job description for people picking them up from remote locations, charging them with their own private electricity, and bringing them to more central locations. I saw a news item about it, it pays way below minimum wage. IIRC, 4€/h if you have your own truck. And oh the irony, they speak out against modern slavery. :facepalm:

And whatever happened to owning a bike? It's not hard, but so many basic everyday skills are simply dying out.

Rant over.

Here's a sharp-dressed bird, but more importantly, he's just impaled dinner on his sharp beak.



Here's a few more for fun.

Sony Xperia 10 II running SFOS 4.1, shot with piggz advanced camera with multi-cam support. The telephoto lens camera was used.

Great Blue Heron with fish -- maybe a perch, I dunno. I saw him walk into the pond on his long stilt legs and spear the unlucky fish. Pretty cool birds to watch unless you've got an ornamental koi pond.

Hmmmm, I had no real good Ideas for this month...



Pro1, Stock Camera app, corrected the exposure with darktable and of course SHARPened it there as well.

Me neither, have good ideas. Maybe it's because I don't see sharp without these guys?





Xperia X stock Sailfish photo app. No edit.

Hope not late...

Are these petals sharp enough?

Haven't we overshot the start?
