#emfcamp said yes to my DJ set! so in celebration...
OMG!! I'VE DONE UPLOADED ANOTHER MIX!!1!eleven
A little more chilled than the last couple* this ones full of lovely bouncy breakbeats and pianos and rave stabs etc - and layers cheerful upbeat vocals on top of some filthy filthy bass!
Just the thing to put some pep in your step on a boring Tuesday morning!

* runs from about 140-160bpm instead of the 175 tip I was posting recently

OH NO!!
I'VE GONE AND DID IT AGAIN!!
Are you still too sleepy for a Monday even thought it's nearly lunchtime?
Is your brain running slower than 175bpm?
DO YOU WANT SOME MORE BASS IN YOUR FACE?!
Oh go on then:

This one leans a bit more into the happy-vocal side of things, but there's some filth in there along with the cheese.

https://www.mixcloud.com/lpbkdotnet/happy-hardcore-sunday-session/
Go make yourself a nice cup of tea and treat yourself to a disco biscuit, turn up the bass and bounce your way through a dull Tuesday morning!
I think I need a lie down
2.5hrs sleep is not enough, it’s send me a bit funny.

@lpbkdotnet Thanks for the link.
Apart from "Alle meine Entchen" which I learned many years ago, I can now also play Jingle Bells on Telephone -

Not sure if you've seen this, @lpbkdotnet -- but I thought of you...

I've had a PBX box for a while now, and I've been bugging @lpbkdotnet here on a few tips and tricks.
I have the (I don't know wha the name of it is), "master telephone" responsible for being able to programme the PBX -- this is the only way this can be done -- including working out extensions for telephones.
In the course of my (albeit very naive/young) #telephony interest, I've come to own a few GPO devices which have a no. 7 handset in them:
https://www.britishtelephones.com/hands7.htm
These aren't common at all.
But.
Ideally, I'd love to be in a position where there were a way to mute any GPO phone, but to have a modified external "light" or some indication that if such a phone were on "mute", that it we're obvious.
When I say "mute", GPO telephones have a mechanism to do so in the middle, if such a switch is fitted.
So, @lpbkdotnet -- I guess what I'm asking in your experience is whether:
1. I can get "mute switches" and fit them to any GPO phone?
2. Given the proviso that Handset No. 7 is rare, how might I connect some sort of "external light" indicator to make up for that?
I am aware of the vintage-radio.net forum, but thought I'd find the wisdom the crows here first.
Thanks everyone! :)

In front a terminal prompt on Linux, macOS or other *nix? Want to know the current time in Swatch .beats?
$ echo -n @; TZ=UTC-1 date "+((%H*60+%M)*60+%S)/86.4" | bc
I already have my own short shell script for this but just stumbled over this post where the core logic was compacted down to one-liner, which is pretty sweet.

Their full version is fancier still using figlet and watch to monitor (check it out).

Had a very vivid clear dream last night about a TV show I haven’t seen in 35+ years and now have the theme tune stuck in my head.

Isn’t this BT Empress #telephone from 1983 simply gorgeous?! 😍
Pity it doesn’t work, and I’m not sure I have the time to get distracted by fixing it…

It's Longshot Request Friday!
EDIT: Now sorted, thanks!
Does anyone have in their collection an example of an old British Telecom "telemessage" ?
These were greetings telegrams, dictated by phone and sent through the post.
I'm specifically looking for a readable image of the reply instructions that were printed on the reverse side of the page.
For some reason, no one seems to scan the back page when selling these online!
I've attached an example of the front:
