Here's another - The Data Zapper from BlueTech had an officially licensed version of Tetris.

All tabs nicely now due to the arm restraining nubs being outside where the instructions depict them to be.

My only criticism has been the misassembly issue and having to resolve it. Otherwise very happy with it.

Bonus photo of things to come later in the release cycle.

Got them out of their boxes and they're looking great.

Not too tired to notice what on earth is going on here? 😅

Quick break from my post-driving around in London brain exhaustion coma to find these two waiting for me

What about these? 🥲

Lighting done. Have Alexa and Home Assistant controlling it as needed. E.g. could have it so turning on soldering iron turns the light on etc. Currently set triggered on saying "Workbench".
It's a warmer temperature than I wanted but the LED tube can always be replaced later.

Grabbed some cable from local electrical supply shop and wired it in.

New workshop light going up over lunch break. Hopefully will be able to see what I am working on again. :')

Will have to pop to the local shop to get some 3 core as all my runs are too short to route behind the back of the billy cabs.

Childhood me drew this PlayStation.

On closer inspection, what child draws a fucking Caetla cart in their PS1? 😂😂

Not a drill; WE HAVE A FLOOR.

I'm the opposite here, I'm running my old stuff in a modern Silverstone rackmounted case. 😅

And junk
June 29, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Few more things I am keeping.

Some treasure (Sony CRT is same as mine, so this is a spare)
June 29, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Dealing with the garage hoard. This used to be floor to ceiling with no access a few months ago.

Anyone remember having #Transformers Wreck Gar gloves?
I did 😅

RIP Katsu / Pro's Kit desoldering station.

We had a good 5 years together, many LaserActives and Multi-Megas. It's fitting that you chose my lunch break today to burn out your motor/pump.

Will be investing in better trachea filters in future.
