Pi-Hole gets a massive upgrade, now running on a Raspberry Pi 4b 4GB. Unbound is installed for a recursive DNS server. But most importantly, Pi-Hole looks lovely in the official Pi-Hole case, which also acts as a heatsink.

Probably going to be a Xmas Day build.

I was given this 7" touchscreen display, after a good clean, it's as good as new and will form a core part of my next Raspberry Pi project.

Confession time, I have what I call my 'toilet read'. Don't think it needs any further explanation, but it's a great way to get some reading time in without allocating any time for reading.

Unfortunately, my SDR project has bitten the dust before it has begun. The radio dongle is officially dead; it is an ex-dongle, it has ceased to be. Oh well, 3 out of 4 projects ain't too bad. I need to flex my programming muscles and design and code a project from the ground up.

Onto my 3rd Raspberry Pi project, a RetroPie handheld gaming machine. I built this but wasn’t happy with the emulation. Now I am going to focus on Gameboy games as I feel these will be best suited to this device.

A random page from The Meaning Of Liff.

The first page of meanings from the book The Meaning of Liff.

I love Douglas Adams’ work, his collabs and the fact that he was script editor on Doctor Who.

Here is my completed OSMC build. Raspberry Pi 4b 4GB in black/grey official case.

Pi delivery. OSMC is about to get a lovely new case and matching power supply, plus a fan.

A very kind customer, who I chat with regularly about Sci-Fi, dropped this off for me. It’s the one book I didn’t have in my Douglas Adams collection. What a lovely bloke.

Gone as far as I can with this software-defined radio build, as I need a PSU cable splitter to power both the Raspberry Pi, attached to the back of the display, and the display itself.

My fave piece of Dr Who memorabilia, signed by Bernard Archard. I won it in a DWAS auction. Pyramids is my fave Dr Who story. The first episode is one of the greatest in the shows history and Sutekh is one of the best enemies.

This is an old project of mine. A handheld gaming powerhouse built using the Raspberry Pi Zero. I think it's time to revisit this and see if the software has improved and to focus more on Nintendo Gameboy games, as these are the most suitable for this kind of device.

A while ago, I got inspired by a Prime Video show to build a software-defined radio (SDR). Now I want to revisit that project and use a Pi-compatible touchscreen to create a really easy-to-use SDR.

After building two Pi projects, I really needed to tidy up my Raspberry Pi stuff. Job done. I have also decided what my next two Pi projects will be.

OSMC has a lovely, simple, but slick interface. No lag through the TV remote. Now to check out customisation options, format the SSD storage and set up sharing files between my MacBook and OSMC.

And here it is in all its glory. Raspberry Pi 4B running OSMC and a twin SSD dock providing the storage. My LG TV detects the Pi as a Roku device, and this means it can be controlled by the LG magic remote. Perfect! I need to reformat the storage to optimise performance.

So far, so good. My Pi-Hole project is progressing nicely. I am using an older Raspberry Pi 3B+, official PSU, 32GB microSD card and Raspberry Pi OS legacy 32-Bit Bookworm. Just accessed it via the admin page. Next step is to move it downstairs next to my TV and try it for real.

Here is disc 1 of Series 2 of the Blake's 7 Collection boxset. Such a good-looking boxset.

The artwork for this series 2 boxset is absolutely gorgeous. I will tag all my posts about this boxset with doctorwho as well because of close links between the two shows.

So, as I move onto the last story of Season 13, The Seeds Of Doom, look what arrived in the post. This box set looks absolutely gorgeous.

I really want to see if I can remove the ads from my smart TV. Enter the Pi Hole. A Raspberry Pi-based DNS ad-blocker. I am going to write a full guide to how to do this, with a discussion on any problems that I encounter along the way.
