Been a couple of very productive weeks and I have to admit that the help provided by Claude and Claude Code has probably compressed several months work into those 2 weeks. I had been for ever telling duck.ai there were mistakes and given the very small window of conversation, a lot of time was spent moving context from one chat to another. The free copy of claude.ai just went on and on over a few days but it became obvious that the 'out of time' me…
Painful but actually fun for a change, although I do think a night out at the 'Rumours of Fleetwood Mac' concert over at Warwick University Arts Centre probably helped.
claude.ai has sort of been helping despite getting cut off after a little while, added to which while there is some useful information in the recent thread spread over several day, and I've managed to add some practical crib sheets on several matters, it has not been a particularly productive process!
OK it's my own fault for not being careful about checking what I was buying, but I needed another 8Tb disk as the off-air TV recordings was filling up the existing disk. At under £80 delivered it was good buy, and arrived the next day. The magic I had missed was 'SAS' rather than 'SATA' and although the drive plugged into the hot swap disk cage and powered up, it was not visible.

We had developed a simple graphics card that allowed multiple monitors to be hooked up and used as for information displays. Four 625 line RGB feeds of each card, and a number of ISA cards could be driven of the one machine. Nov…
BUGGER thought I had cracked that problem. Having spent 2 hours working on a post it did not save :( Seems to have lost the session ticket so perhaps it is taking too long which is the problem. In the past I always saved what I had done to the clipboard, but failed to do that this time. So we have to start again ... at least all the key links are still on the browser. Will get back to this later as I need my morning physio and exercise.
