ScuzzBlog: Diaries April 2022 Entry 17th April 2022: Post 1: Blitz BASIC 2.1 CD re-united. Blitz BASIC 2.1 CD re-united. I have a belief when searching for lost things and that is the thing you have lost is in plain view. It will be right in front of your face. Back in February 2017 I finally got round to opening all my boxes and tubs that I had collected over the decades. My work as an architect kept me incredibly busy and sadly that meant a lot of late nights, long weekends and very little holiday. This meant that the majority of my collecting was simply placed into store and under dust sheets until I could find the time to unpack and record everything. And so in 2017 I set too opening all my boxes up, photographing and placing in sensible order so I could find things. This took the best part four years to complete, and I am still not done. The process didn't come without its problems. The worst problem being the loss of an item that had fallen into the wrong box or worse got trapped behind shelves or benches. One such item was my Blitz BASIC 2.1 CD-ROM disc. This CD had been extracted in the early 2000s from its box as I was taken to refer to it a lot in the Workshop. It was always with a bunch of CDs next to my most treasured A1200. And then it just vanished. I searched and searched but it never turned up. Of all the things I have here it is the one item that plays on my mind whenever I am sorting through things. I had all but given up. If you could see my Aladdin's cave here you would just appreciate how much of a challenge it is finding anything. That was until last week. I have any number of boxes open and items I use frequently laying on top for ease of access. For a blog I made last week I reached in for a couple of Action Replay interfaces. Imagine my surprise when instead of pulling out the interface I had in my hand my Blitz BASIC 2.1 CD. The cheer that went out would have woken the village. I fell back in my chair and couldn't believe my eyes. Anyhoo !! The CD is now back in its box and to celebrate I took a few pictures. Times like these I always recall my mom saying that the first place to look for lost things is right under your nose. She wasn't wrong. I have also snapped a few Workbench images of the CDs contents. You get such a lot with the CD that is just not possible with a couple of disks. Happy days. Well except for being tormented by the return of the bloody Death Star. Playing havoc with my efforts to combat the zombie infestation of Raccoon City. Today I finally met up with the lovely Ada Wong telling Leon ' You can put that away '. Back to Resident Evil ... OKEE DOKEE ! Oh and Blitz BASIC is a programming tool for like programming games and stuff. It's technical. Bye!! Blitz BASIC 2.1 CD re-united.
