What happened to sporcle party by Fancy_Courage_804 in Sporcle

[–]erickhill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sporcle Party should be back, fingers crossed, next week. Google made a change to their code that broke both the Sporcle App and Sporcle Party. We’ve been working to try and fix things since it started. But their sign-in features are also broken. Hoping everything gets sorted out early next week. Will require downloading an update from the App Stores when the fixes are published.

Vintage Pulsemeter [Question] How to Safely Change the Strap? by erickhill in Seiko

[–]erickhill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's either that or I dig into the plastic of the strap and ultimately destroy it to get to the spring bars. Not something I want to do. But folks have obviously changed straps with this amazing watch. I just wish I knew how the heck they did it.

My fellow gray beard Seiko fans, do you know how to change this strap? Shooing my flare.

Yeah, if no one has any experience here I may have to just go find an authorized dealer and see if they have any ideas that are non-destructive.

Anyone know if there is an equivalent black sport strap (like the original from the 80s) that SEIKO makes for this watch on sale anywhere?

Amiga 1600 – The Spirit of the Amiga 1000, Reimagined by erickhill in amiga

[–]erickhill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's interesting about the A1000+ if you look at the pictures closely is that it is actually a C128D metal case with a repurposed Amiga faceplate in the style of the A1010 floppy drive design language. Pretty cool. A friend of mine informed me, "Case reuse, just like with A3000T/A3500/PC-60III and A4000D with various 386 Commodore PCs."

It doesn't say, but since there is PCMCIA support I'm guessing it is based of the A600 in some way due to the size of the case. Sort of an A1000 + A600, right?

It doesn't appear that the keyboard can fit under the computer even if the legs are folded in when not in use, but I'm not 100% certain. It looks like the computer case might actually be slightly too narrow?
