It's been a week and the Rubber Keyed Wonder book's doing great! Stretch goals are out - we've hit 1 for a feature on the Spectrum clones, and there's 2 more to hit; a feature on cool accessories, and another on some very bad games. Don't miss out! Back it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/48k...

First day back at work after 2 weeks and I'm filled with enthusiasm but only if you redefine enthusiasm as painful sinus pressure.

I love weird spam like this. My website is basically just "Hello World". They can order as many nothings as they like.

Manifest v2 has breathed its last and Firefox is my default browser for the first time in about 20 years.

Err, OK. What's that betting that 0.1p gets rounded up?

UV desktop printing is the wave of the future for home-made custom PCBs. This is way easier than pre-coated boards, dry-film photoresist or laser etching

My printer’s getting high off its own supply

OPNsense: We're making DNSmasq the default for DHCP and DNS Me: *spends a few hours changing Groovy code to use the DNSmasq API instead of the Unbound API* Me: *notices the CSV upload button on the DNSmasq hosts page* Me: *spends 10 minutes writing a file converter in Python*

They say practice makes perfect. I’m going to need a *lot* more practice.

The “you need to clean out the air fryer” alarm, formerly known as the “the toaster is set too high” alarm is going off

Pretty sure I just removed more lint from my phone’s USB-C port than is physically possible for it to hold. Thank you Mr Vinyl Spudger.

Them: You can use tin-snips to cut PCBs down Me: Best I can do is heavy-duty wire cutters. I'm sure that will be fine. Shrapnel: Hello!

Currently on the phone to the council and they’re repeatedly lying to me “We are sorry to keep you waiting, your patience is appreciated”

Almost 30 years ago I bought a cheap flat-pack MDF desk. This morning I disassembled it, drove it about 150 miles, re-assembled it and discovered that it has aged a lot better than my knees.
