Got a lot done today! The nice thing about cutting back to just three videos a week for the moment is that when I need to get two weeks' worth done in advance, it doesn't feel like a massive effort. And with both sets of parents coming to visit us next weekend, I needed to get two weeks' worth done in advance!

Probably the "biggest" one of those is on the Atari ST, and you'll see it the week after next! I ended up having an absolute blast with it, and regretting that I hadn't tried it sooner.
