Imitation, flattery, and all that

The latest Raspberry Pi blog post includes a video that might raise a smile at around the 4:20 mark.

The item featured in the video at that point can be found here – but you’ll need a suitable web browser to have a go.

I’ve seen that before. It’s a pretty good emulation of trying to play Lander on an A5000. ;-)

Wow, that made me remember just how colourful my language used to be when I was a kid ;-) the skill of a moribund lettuce – or something like that!

Did you spot the: “ARM assembly language optimisations were provided (as always) by Ben Avison”?
Now we know what has been keeping him busy! I wonder how the Foundation could be persuaded to pay Ben to do some RISC OS-Pi work? I believe he has unsuccessfully suggested it himself.

Yes, but I took no real notice because I’m aware he does that sort of thing, though I’ve no idea how much is for the Foundation specifically. However, I do find the two words in brackets quite amusing, and perhaps answers that question: a fair old amount!

I think Ben has been working pretty much full time for the Foundation for a year or so.
