2022 intro, wow, my third year at this game and a few people have actually played my podcasts - a few have reached double figures ! I'd like to make triple figures please this year, but to do that I may have to advertise myself a bit - tough job for me
2020 intro - A (mostly) comedy podcast, but also a personal view of life from 1956 to today - in random order. So far I've not posted much of the old stuff, there is a set of 1978 Proms recordings but the rest are monologues, stories and live recordings form this first full year of podcasting. It gets a bit dark in places, especially in March !
The bird/book Guide MK2 is deliberately confusing Random, what on wherever is reverse temporal engineering?
Arthur meets up with Ford - the previous Bird 'owner' and speaks of similar confusing, but life saving oddities.

Ford has sent a new version of the Guide to Arthur, but they don't know that yet. Random - runs off with it and meets a 'bird'.

I have a strong hunger for success and am willing to do anything to get to the top. I was born with a serious heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot, which required life-threatening open heart surgery at a very young age so I truly consider it a blessing to be alive. I'm the kind of person who likes to be different from the crowd. I pride myself on attempting and doing things others wouldn't, taking risks, and generally wanting to be noticed. I enjoy song writing, composing, playing piano, cooking, making people laugh and above all making each day count."
And - he wanted to talk to me, so we talked, and this is what we said.

The first part of this podcast documents the massive impact that the discovery of potential life on Venus had on the people around me. Spoiler - very little.
Then, reality of the impact Covid has on my pills - Twitching again.
Finally - the sound of a live but edited demo by Extinction Rebellion as they tell the world basically what I've been on about for ages. This demo is against the throw away and the high price fashion industry - and the advertising and news reporting of it - and how it brainwashes the public.
And then to calm down a tad, and to fill the gap - some rain and a drop of thunder for you.

This is three hours of Dawn Chorus, recorded over three days. A few cars and the milkman removed plus a bit of trimming to make it run under three hours by a minute. No idents at either end - it's all the birds of Barking in London during the lockdown. 4am to 5am early May 2020 . This is natural background - unless you listen to it. The birds are talking to each other, you can hear conversations, competitions, copying, outdoing each other, may be having fun. They take it in turns to grandstand after the first wakeup burst at about 4am. There are three of these wakeup calls, and loads of songs.
I have recorded the Dawn Chorus before - as a podcast - before the lockdown. It is clear to me the birds like the lack of traffic !

In 1978 a lot of people queued for the Last Night of the Proms, a truly British activity. But now the overnight queuing has been banned and the day queue only lasts for a few hours, not weeks. This is a record of the queue from back then - including an interview with Richard Baker - the BBC news and music man. RIP.
OK, it's also a history of the start of my Prom going life - and my sadness at the effect the process of Brexit has had on me of 'Being British'

What is #SiWriter ?
SiWriter lets you take notes by typing with just one hand, the other can hold the iPad. This is not 'hunt and peck' one finger poking, SiWriter provides finger-tip positioned active key areas on an iPad screen which you tap in easily remembered combinations. This will produces all the letters, numbers, punctuation marks and other symbols of the standard (Latin 2) character set - that is, everything an English reader would expect to have available.
The SiWriter is not a new idea, cool it certainly is, but it is not new. In use it looks like the '#Padds' in Sci Fi, people tend to notice as you rattle away SiWriting notes on an iPad, they won't hear you though, it is as silent as your fingertips.
The SiWriter app is a software implementation of the CyKey from Bellaire Electronics http://www.cykey.co.uk/ . The Cykey has the advantage of being a real, solid object, but the app is less expensive if you already have an iPad. The physical aspects of the Cykey make for a very pleasing tactile feedback for a note taker which SiWriter Pro intends to match by giving you absolute control over the pad positions.
The History
Many years ago, #DougEngelbart invented the mouse - you may have heard of that. He also invented a five switch text entry system which you probably have not come across. He introduced both ideas in what became known as the mother of all demos, but the chording system never took off. The plan was that each finger pressed keys in groups - or chords- following a code that resulted in text output, but people found, or thought they would find, the learning curve too steep. That was probably the reason too few even attempted to climb it. Even when microwriting was implemented by #CyEnfield and used in the Microwriter - it never really took off.
The code chording system was used in an award winning PDA called the AgendA and I used one of them until it wore out - then I wore out another. The AgendA hit manufacturing problems, but it was the 1980s and so you'd expect that, but it was not until 2000 or so that the #CyKey replaced it. It uses the same codes #CyEnderby refined for the #Microwriter and many people use it to this day, but, it has to be wedded to a large base station or a laptop to be of any use. I wanted the speed and ease of '#Qunikey' text entry but with the power of an iPad - and so I wrote SiWriter.
The difference.
SiWriter uses the touch screen as the five, now eight, keys. Sadly there is no simple way to check that your fingers are in the right place to press the pads correctly and there is no tactile feedback to say what is going on, and so you do have to use your eye to keep the fingers in the right place. This was not the advertised plan. It is possible to anchor down the iPad and your wrist and type without looking where your fingers are going - in just the same way as a QWERTY touch typist can, but that takes more effort than I wanted anyone to use, so I have abandoned the 'type while not looking' concept for now - you do have to look. So, what is the point ?
It is faster to type, faster to learn and it's possible to type on a bus or the tube, or standing - and - an iPad is much smaller than any laptop. There is the advantage - typing whenever and wherever you want.

My memories, their accuracy and relevance. Can they be trusted ? What really happened anyway? My perspective based on actually recording from 40 years ago.

My life with '#RLS' - a poorly named ailment that basically is the total lack of control over tired limbs at the worst possible moments - and when you need to rest. Not so much restless, or periodic, more like being possessed. #PLMD

I perform regularly on https://www.492kornaklub.com/ as a character called Greg - sometimes Jeff, therein lies a long story. Anyway, I have nicked /edited out the bits from one hour long improvised drama transmitted in May 2019. The show in full is broadcast on http://galaxyafiwe.com/ at 5pm every Friday. The second half is audience participation - call the characters and ask/tell them what's going on - and we reply in character. The actor playing Desmond is Jerome Wise Millington.

This is the word of pocket microphone story as it happened of how I actually eventually made it to where I had to be and did what I had to do. I don't yet know if it was good enough, but, who am I to judge ? Odd stuff - but real. This is another outside travel story recorded as t happened and annotated after the event. I think this sort of thing will be of historical interest eventually - because no one pays any attention to it at the moment - it shall soon change and be lost - unless I record it. You can too by the way.

The #DawnChorus - in Barking - and the #traffic chaos - everywhere. Both recorded live, only the #birdsInStereo. Oh, and I talk a bit about them both too.

This was not fully planned, a fly on my phone style podcast - as it sort of happened - with fiddly bits added after the event. I'm going to, and having an audition as a standup comedian. This is not a joke free zone.

A story about birds, very large birds, but then I'm giving away the plot - and fertilising it too.

This is a recording 'off air' of the Torty Talks radio show as broadcast on 11-4-2019 on #Ambro-Radio.com
It includes several audio/textual time capsules of my invention - documenting events about thirty years ago, but written at the time - often on a #MicroWriter or #AgendA #quinkey system. Sadly these no longer exist, but, I have written #Siwriter which is an app that does about the same thing. It runs on the larger iPhones and smaller iPads. #Siwriter.co.uk shows how it works. An improved version with Geolocation is on the #Apple #Appstore.

The changing face of work, and child minding for fathers. This is a comical view of a serious matter - originally written a quarter of a century ago on a Quinkey keyboard. It wore out, so I created Siwriter.co.uk

This is a comedy drama, written and performed by me, Simon Anthony. Well, I thinks it's funny. I liked making it anyway !
It's the story of a man who can not or chooses not to ever lie, worse than that, he says what he thinks when he thinks it.
Quite refreshing maybe ?

As I say in this introduction ... Well, I won't repeat it here, you can hear it. Basically, this is my life history in recorded sound, readings from writing made at the time and portions of life itself. I've been around a long time, the span I cover is over 62 years so far, and I'm only 61. Listening to this string of - currently disordered diary entries - shows some of the extra-ordinary - and yet utterly missed changes in normal life that have flowed past us all without us really spotting them. Here, they stand out like, well, you tell me. The biggest thing I note is the utter lack of the internet !
