Been here just over 2mths now and realised I don’t have an #introduction post!
I’m Becky, happily married mum of 2 boys (one with #autism). I suffer with #anxiety and atypical #depression on and off. We live in the English countryside and run an online business.
🎧 "Just Like Heaven" reminds me of one late-#80s#weekend away from #Hollywood in #LagunaBeach. The #song played in the cramped antique shop at Hotel Laguna where I was staying.
Monty, the elder gay proprietor saw I liked the music and offered to lend me his cassette. I popped it into the player in my rental, a red convertible Spider, and drove for a while, along the coast.
▶️ Spring, 1985, I took this shot at the #NuArt#LA.
I tracked the director down in Paris (with help from a friend at Columbia) and sent him a C-print of the image about 1988. Months later I got an obviously-from-Europe-size brown envelope. The director sent me a #Polaroid of the framed image in his home with a lovely note. Both lost.
Did you write code for #Psion machines in the #80s and #90s?
We're calling for you to open source your code!
I'm working with a group of enthusiasts, building a library of information about the SIBO/EPOC16 platform. Your old code could give valuable insight, as well as encourage people to write new code.
We're especially interested in old C and #x86#assembly.
Upload it to your public repository of choice, and set it free!
She looks like Eve Marie Saint in

As she reads Simone de Beauvoir In her American circumstance
#LloydCole read English and Philosophy at #UniversityofGlasgow where he met his band mates. His pop songs made references to literature, psychology, cinema and philosophy. I met his songs though a British fanboy friend who thought them perfect. Yes.
Chaka Khan's mid 80s cover is one of those good cover departures that I really enjoy because it feels like it properly stands as it's own song vs Prince's 79 original.
I have a huge soft spot for Sting's 1st solo album (The Dream Of The Blue Turtles) and the live album (Bring On The Night). I played those records a lot.
I had the entire The Cure catalogue as LPs in the 80s. I also had a tall floor light with 5 spots with individual switches. Some of the bulbs may have been coloured, red blue etc. These facts are not entirely unrelated.
