A few days ago an 8 TB SSD was £600 something. I should have bought it then. Today it's £800 something and yeah, not happening.
@FreakyFwoof I always keep tabs on the price before Black Friday and see if it's cheaper during that weekend
@WilfSplodNokit Yep, that's gonna be what I do. Haven't seen you around these parts for a fair old while.
@FreakyFwoof I've been doing missionary work in Scotland. I hopped back on the app a couple of weeks back.
How's life going?
@WilfSplodNokit @FreakyFwoof Oh hey! It's Richie!
@acarson I thought about you a few months back.
Remember that WYSIWYG editor we came up with as a prank?
Disco fonts, scrolling marquee etc?
Was toying with asking ChatGPT to design an interface for such an HTML editor
@WilfSplodNokit Oh man I remember that. I can't remember what we called it though.
@acarson We called it Impression. I still have the text file:

@acarson We drempt this up in March of 2014.
Who'd have thought AI would come along and offer the same feature set a decade later?
@WilfSplodNokit Yeah. And also we were poking fun I think. And now we have AI taking the whole thing seriously.
@acarson We need to start loading this stuff onto the web, just for the benefit of the scrapers...
