Oh,l, yes, I also had an ST. But I was an Amiga guy at heart.

I then moved on to the Amiga 500, and the last machine before going PC was my Amiga 1200 (with 20 mega byte, HD).

Oh, ya the Electron had an expansion to it. ROM slots, printer interface and an analogue joystick port.

My second home computer, the Acorn Electron. I think we are talking 1982 from the date code on the PCB.

Well where it is, my third "home" computer. The ZX Spectrum 48K.
I added a power switch (top right)!

Possibly the best joystick ever made? If you know, you know.. Daily Thompson's Decathlon on the Specky?

Intel and the PowerPc CD-roms included. None of your DVD technology here!

Trying out a few wired ethernet options at the moment. A few Olimex ESP32 options, a Raspberry Pi pico with PoE module and finally an Orange Pi.

Just finished a controller for our heating system. An ESP32 POE Ethernet dev board with a relay and DS18B20 for local temperature measurement. Running Tasmota to interface with my MQTT server. Wifi was bad in the area the old controller was located. Time for a wired solution!

Personal power:
Diesel (per litre) - 10.7kWh (calorific value)
Engine and gen-set efficiency: ~40%
1l diesel === (10.7 * 0.4 )kWh
1l diesel === 4.28kWh
200l green diesel = 269€
1l green diesel costs 1.34€
1.34€ will generate 4.28kWh of electricity
