The Last Psion | Alex<p>Moved instance, so time for a new <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>!</p><p>I'm Alex and I have a PDA problem.</p><p>In 2018, after 16 years of using various <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Psion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Psion</span></a> portables, I decided to try my hand at developing hardware and software for my beloved Series 3c to help me with journalling and creative writing.</p><p>6 years and repeated sidequests later, I've ended up doing a <em>lot</em> of research into the SIBO/EPOC16 platform, and done my best to document it when I can. I've also nudged former developers into open sourcing their old Psion apps.</p><p>My current main projects are:</p><ul><li><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/PsiDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PsiDrive</span></a>, an <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RP2040" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RP2040</span></a>-based USB drive for SIBO SSDs.</li><li>Rewriting the Psion SIBO (16-bit 8086) C SDK, including updating the docs (with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AsciiDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsciiDoc</span></a>) and rewriting the original DOS tools as FOSS apps. I'm currently using <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FreePascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreePascal</span></a> to create a drop-in replacement for <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CTRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CTRAN</span></a>, the Psion OO C preprocessor. (I want to eventually write a new compiler targeting EPOC16. Eventually.)</li><li>Anything else that tickles my bouncy brain.</li></ul><p>Outside of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a>, I'm your common-or-garden British nerd. I'm a Linux user - mostly Arch, but I dabble with others. I also like a bit of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/HaikuOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HaikuOS</span></a> and I'm planning on giving <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> a go very soon.</p><p>I used to be a senior computer monkey, specialising in on-prem SME infrastructure (I lament the loss of vSphere). Now I train others to become computer monkeys (for better or worse). As a result, sometimes you'll see me wrestling with old Cisco ASAs, Ubiquiti APs, or modded kit running <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/OpenWrt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenWrt</span></a>.</p><p>Generally, I like making things do stuff, especially if it's stuff that the thing wasn't originally designed to do.</p>

Oblomov<p>For historical reasons, I mostly use <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a> for my writing, although I've started to use <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/AsciiDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsciiDoc</span></a> (through <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/AsciiDoctor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsciiDoctor</span></a>) more and more these days.</p><p>One of the things I <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/amWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amWriting</span></a> is intended to be in a more “playwright” style, so I've been looking around for stuff more focused on <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/playwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>playwriting</span></a> (for either theater or screen, I'm not picky at the moment.).</p><p>So I came across <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/FountainIO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FountainIO</span></a><br><a href="https://fountain.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">fountain.io/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> which is actually … pretty close to what I was thinking about.</p>
