I ended up staying up all night reading most of the book

Not 100% retro but I've had a lot of fun doing Tiny Code Christmas[1] the last couple of years on TIC-80 [2]

For actual retro system. 68000 assembler on the Atari ST is fun or for a slightly different challenge the Amiga

Tiny Code Christmas just started today. That is geared towards beginners in the demoscene and everyone is very friendly

As far as I know only the A-12 family and the X-51 used JP-7 given it needed Triethylborane (TEB) to ignite.

The SR-71 used a different high flashpoint fuel (JP-7) to most aircraft, which require separate tankers (KC-135Q) with segregated storage.

I expect you are correct.

The Amiga (except some early 1000s) also had a Extra Half Brite mode that has 6 bitplanes, 64 colours with the second 32 being half the brightness of the others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Halfbrite_mode

The extra data fetching does slow things down.

The panel at the bottom looks like it uses the copper to have a different palette to the rest of the screen. That is a very common effect.

I'd think there's clear procedures for pilot of such a craft? If x occurs & can't be fixed by doing y or z, then eject.

Indeed they do (or at least did)

The first to come to mind is the AGM-65 Maverick in both visible light and IR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-65_Maverick). Later version of the AIM-9 Sidewinder also have IR imaging seekers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-9_Sidewinder) as do the AIM-132 ASRAAM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASRAAM). I'm sure there are a bunch of others.

Lots of resource from the demoscene, especially 1K, 4K and 64K intros

I've just moved. So I'm the same process but in a spare bedroom, not a garden office but about the same size as you office. Most of the stuff is still what I had at my last place.

Current setup

- Desk against the wall. Window into the garden on my left to give me something to look at other than screens.

- Ikea Bekant sit/stand desk. A few years old now but it has been fine for me. I've not used the motors too often. Honestly I thought I'd use the different height more often.

- Generic gaming chair. It was around £120 years ago. Purchased because it was much cheaper than an Herman Miller and the like. It has been fine certainly better than office chair of a similar price point. Coming to the end of its life. Something I'm actively looking to replace in the next couple of months with something more high end.

- Cable trays to keep most of the cable off the floor. Triple monitors have a lot of cables. Cables on the floor just get in the way and collect dust.

- Triple 27 inch monitors on a monitor arm bolted to the desk (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MR0448N/).

- Logitech Brio Webcam on a Elgato mount above the middle monitor.

- BenQ ScreenBar monitor light (https://www.benq.eu/en-uk/lamps/computer-desklamp/screenbar....) over the middle monitor. Expensive. I'd get one of the cheaper knock off if I was buying today.

- Two Elgato key lights.

- Stream Deck XL for short cuts and to control the lights.

- Mechanical keyboard.

- Gaming mouse.

- Old PC speakers I've had for a decade or more.

- Giant mouse pad.

- Laser printer/scanner. I still end up having to print stuff but not often enough to avoid inkjet drying out

- Everything that can be on wired ethernet.

Things I'm looking to change

- As mentioned. A better chair. I went with a gaming chair as it was much cheaper than a fancy chair while still being better than a cheap office chair. Originally I was working from home occasionally and could justify the cost of something a Aeron or similar. Now I'm working from home most of the time, that equation has changed.

- A better mounting system for monitors, lights, webcam etc. My current monitor mount is mostly great but the end of the outside monitors do droop a little. When I purchased the mount I only had the monitors. The lights and webcam mount were later additions. Having a single mounting solution to fix everything to would be great. Better support for ends of the monitor arms would be lovely.

- Replacing the Screenlight with something controlled from the PC/Stream deck would be great and generally being able to automate things via the Stream deck.

- Getting a dry erase board. Mostly to sketch out ideas. The big thing I've missed from an office over the last couple of years

- Book and general storage. So I can have my work related book near me when working and not cluttering up the rest of the house. The new place I finally have a door I can close on the office when not working

- Better cable management. Things are fairly clean currently but could be better. I'm thinking about cable duct on the monitor arms for the video, power, and USB cables

- Air con. All the kit kicks out some heat. This has been great over the last few weeks when it was cold outside. I expect it to be less welcome once things start to get warmer.

- Blockout blinds. The curtains I have now are just what was here when I moved in and aren't great. The office gets sun in the afternoons

Another was Sprint. Turning towards the target before it gets too fast. Limiting the stress on the airframe and energy required.

Like most people a 747 was my first long haul flight. I've not been lucky enough to fly the upper deck but a few years ago, I did get to fly in the nose, seat 1A. A great experience, strange being in front of the pilots and surprisingly noisy when the nose gear is moving up or down

As for being the most beautiful civilian aircraft. I see your 747 and raise you a Concorde

I've been a fan of the 959 since seeing the Tamiya version. I'd love for them to re-release the kit so I can finally own one
