It’s super annoying when two of the four packages on the way for review get stuck in customs with fees to pay and then you have to wait for a letter telling you what need to pay before you can even begin to sort it. Especially when I need one of the ones that stuck for the two I have to be useful

Not posted much for a while so here’s something I’ve been up to. I took this photo. From my garden. In Swinton. Technology is mad when it’s not ruining the world. #dwarf3 #astrophotography #andromeda

Y’know what. Looking at the price of certain retro games on eBay, they can’t possibly sell surely. Nobody is paying 900 quid for Wings on the Amiga are they? I’ll give you 25 quid mate for old times sake. that’s my limit #retrogaming

And also. Is it just me finding the irony that on the week we finally all move house to a new social network, the world gets obliterated by nuclear war. I feel as though we may have left it a bit late.

You ever think about how maddening it must've been to have seen a giraffe before cameras? Coming back to Blighty trying to tell people about this totally implausible creature with no evidence of its existence.

Gonna restore another piece of 80s ‘Tat’ in the bg this week. Not computer-related as such but was hugely influential in my teenage life. Initial look inside it’s grim and mechanically doomed but fixed the first part I wanted working with a little grease. #retrocomputing #retro
