Check!

Russell told me the plot of something the other day and it made me cry. I need to toughen up.

I also dropped a bit of my burger on the floor today at the Handmade Burger co. That made me cry.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
The burger was lovely, and deserved to be cried over. Also I felt like a complete failure that i couldn't feed my son in the tiny cramped table and eat my own dinner, so it was cold, and I was flustered, and there were stairs, and everything else.

Captain Shitpants just tried to flush a hand towel down the toilet. Then had a meltdown when I removed it from her vicinity. Then refused to wear clothes except one of my cycling jerseys. I eventually got a dress on her but it might be back to front. How the gell single parents deal with thus on a daily basis I don't know, stronger than I.

Just sold my Megadrives and games for £475.
That'll do nicely, though the thought of giving eBay nearly fifty quid for the privilege annoys me.

On the up side, the buyer lives on my route to work.

Nothing super rare I don't think - I've sold off the more valuable ones individually either recently or a few years ago, but it's a good collection.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sega-Megadriv ... 1459654443?

At one point I had far more as Megadrives were the most common system to find at car boot sales and I gave away a load of consoles - unboxed megadrives and master systems and sold some smaller bundles where I had duplicate games.

Sony have announced that they are going to stop making Betamax tapes next year! Next year? I thought they'd stopped making them about fifteen years ago. In other news, they're going to stop making minidiscs in 2027

Isn't there a pro grade version of Betamax that's still current?
I'm surprised that anyone still wants normal domestic Beta tapes.

It's true that Betamax was the de facto standard in the commercial sector, but even that would have largely switched to digital ten years ago. Hell, in the article Sony says that they haven't manufactured a compatible machine since 2005

Media has a really long tail, though. I read an article the other day (which I now cannot find) about one of the last guys in America selling floppy discs, which are still vital in various industrial machines on factory floors, old servers, and so on. He reckons he needs stock of between half a million and a million discs to see him through to winding the business down. I bet there's still CCTV systems around that use Betamax.

It doesn't get any easier, you just get inured to it. Well, it does, but only when they go to uni and that's fucking aeons away for you. You could try sending them to boarding school...

Well, I was being slightly facetious and I wouldn't be surprised if there are still studios using Betamax. Anyway, stop ruining my feigned comedy horror with good sense :p

All of the old lighting and sound systems in older venues save to floppy. Venues are loath the make the investment to replace them usually.
