You wouldn't believe me if I told you this
video-RAM glitch came from playing one of those
Pokémon-type games. I have a cuddly
Psyduck poke-poke toy on my stairs. It unnerves
visitors with its duck-type psychic powers etc.
It is yellow. It is nice.

Notice how, by careful colour manipulation, at least
two processes that caused this glitch can be separated out.
You've got rows of fairly regular notches, and then there
are the "lightning flashes" going diagonally through them
in some OR-type operation, by the looks of it.

Make careful notes. This'll be on the end-of-term exam.

INSTRUCIONS? Y/N

No, it's not a typo, this is the only bug in
Donkey Kong on the Dragon 32, circa 1983.
Pity. All that effort with the assembly-language
coding, only to squinnek it up with an
error-of-type-spelling.

On this theme (god, this is a bit organised for me!)
the image that your nasal tubes are curently pointing
to is some glitch from somewhere with some words. Maybe.

Before I go and make a cup of Dr Stuart PhD's herbal
tea (or 'erbal tea' as you USA-types say), I hope, with
all my heart and crepance, that you mildly like the new
graph-paper stylee background. It's like the stuff you get
in maths books at school. Here's a question: what is the
sum of digits of the sum of digits of the sum of digits
of 4444 to the power 4444? (All numbers expressed in base 10)
First person to email or Gästebuch the correct answer wins!

This is a (colour-modified) scan of a UPS 
top-secret coded label. If you read it backwards
is says "SEYE RUOY NI SI NATAS". Beware indeed!

Dot-matrix mode. (subliminal pre-message)

The populous has been sated with the old ways.
I will rule you unchallenged for another 400 years.
Magic numbers for today are 4444^4444 and twelvty.

One of the nice things about having a few words
of German on this site is that I receive German 9orno
junk email. Aren't I lucky. Multilingual spam. Fabulous.

Oh this is really pissing me off now. Just typed some
stuff and it's evaporated.

Right, you bastards. I've gone back to the old style because
only one person liked the new style, vaguely.
So all the old shite is back too. Lucky I backed it all up, eh?
And I've made the background yellow just to make you ill.

No, you don't deserve a glitch image today.

I'm thoroughly unhappy. I also discovered I'm a failure today.

I've just thought of a new word: retronic, plus derivatives:
retronica, retronicist, retronically, ... 
I've decided I'm a glitch-retronicist, and this site contains
pictures of glitch-retronica. How marvellous.

Anyway, d'ya like this image? It's from a Commodore PET emulator.
Glitch, yes. Retro, yes. Electronic, yes. Glitch-retronic? You bet.
