Just a quick mention of the latest version of Tabletop. It’s awesome. That’s all.
The Retronyms are amazing, their work just gets better and better.

Doctor Who: The Lost Stories – The Foe from the Future
I’ve posted about this story before, but I’ve only just finished it so I thought I’d write something about it again. It’s always good to listen to Doctor Who, at least it is in my book anyway, and this was a great story, in true 4th doctor style.
It’s also great to hear a story that doesn’t feel hurried. Foe from the Future is around 3 hours long, compared to the hour or so the new TV stories get. An hour just doesn’t feel like enough to establish characters and plot and get everything done, whereas 3 hours feels like plenty of time to get things moving at the right pace and to gradually pick up speed for the climax of the story.
I really enjoyed this one, and I’m looking forward to finishing off the box set, hopefully a little this weekend.
ZXSynth?
From Pixelh8, a ZXSynth. An excellent way to celebrate 30 years of ZX.
Star Trek: Mudd’s Women
Another totally classic episode from the original series. I watched this one last night, and it was great! Interesting to see how some scenes have been remastered and enhanced, like the shots of the ship.
1 Year since Elizabeth Sladen sadly left us
I couldn’t believe it when I read it this morning. A whole year since the incredible Elizabeth Sladen left us. I thought I should post something simple to remember her.
techBASIC 2.0
I only just found out about this universal app. It looks really amazing as a BASIC programming environment, but most interesting of all is how it integrates with HiJack, which has grabbed my attention.
The app isn’t cheap though at £10.49, and the HiJack is $79 too, so I’m not diving in straight away, at least not for the HiJack. The app looks good though.
App revisit: Sir Sampleton
Sir Sampleton is a great little sampling app that’s got a nice interface and just does the job really well.
Classic Trek: The Enemy Within
This is a fantastic episode from the original series. A great idea and a superb opportunity for Mr Shatner to play both sides and have a load of fun with it.
I’m really enjoying the original series, it’s a great to see these old stories.
Yep, I decided to fun the Pebble
I mentioned this the other day. A great idea and a massive response via kickstarter. I’ve joined in too now, so I look forward to September and getting a Pebble in the post.
App revisit: Euno Synth
This was a great idea for a synth app, and had a very clean interface, but it was really hard to get to grips with it. By the time you’d set the synth controls and moved to the keys page you couldn’t tell what the sound would be like. It didn’t make sense from there really.
It was a shame really. It hasn’t seen an update for a long time now either.
