bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I once overheard someone describing a street musician performing with an electric guitar as "Busker Du" and that's really stuck with me 010
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Managed to find some old external floppy drives cheap on eBay. They’re odd mechanically. The disk goes in on a platform and the whole top assembly pulls down with the door. Not seen ones like that before. 111
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 07/10/2026No, you just got the migraine babbles mid way through an important job interview 110
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It’s not the Christmas number one that’s important, it’s the Boxing Day number two you have to watch out for. 020
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Did some cardboard aided design for a homemade terminal today. Going to get some mdf and woodgrain fablon 031
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Strong agree. I mostly listen to BBC radio, I'm not much of a TV guy these days, but I love that various BBCs make all sorts of things for all sorts of people. 130
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also, the older I get the more sensitive my edgelord radar is becoming. If people start sentences with “of course, you would think that because” or “that’s a typical of &alignment” I instantly mute them and do everything I can to walk away. I am in my 50s, settle down dickhead. 160
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Na, that’s a single 9w UVc lamp struggling to compete with all the germs. 121
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Kinda bored with people criticising the BBC. They’re mostly a force for good, and there are many different BBCs. People that pick at BBCnews are the reason why BBCnews is the way it is now. They’re having to walk a tightrope all the time and that feeds back into people’s negative image of them. 441
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I completed Control with the non upgraded gun because at no point did the V1 game tell me I could or should upgrade it. I didn't really understand that there WAS an upgrade system 010
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Mutuals! Does anyone have an old, broken 5.25 floppy drive knocking around? I need at least one for a prop (hence why broken) The dream is a full height Shugart, but anything would work. Cheers! 025
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Cams has a small lump at the root of her tail. We had it checked and the vet said it’s just “a weird fat lump” which also describes Cams. 1113

bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Ahoy chum, don't forget, I'm still in 'nam if you need anything 001
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A Tandy, five doors down from a Rymans, what a time to be alive, look at what they took from us, broken Britain etc (subs please check) 130
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Unrelated, but more evidence for my theory that anyone that preferred SwapShop to Tiswas is a stone cold wrong 'un that needs their C drive looking at. 120
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Honestly, you think you live in a good area, but then you notice that the boulders at your local park are bolted down. 021
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Wasn’t there that Roger Moore story where he said he didn’t sign James Bond as an autograph for a kid as he was on mission and didn’t want Blofeld to be tipped off? 220
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It’s still weird for me when I’m around magpies. My brain goes BIRD! I kiss him head! Come back! I speak magpie! Listen, I’m cool, I have peanuts and probably something shiny in my pocket. And yer actual magpies don’t want any of that nonsense. 050

bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I had a spare Panasonic internal BDR208D so I just bunged it on a sata to USB board 010
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I am amazed that I can’t just put a Blu-ray disc into the Blu-ray drive in my Windows 11 computer and have it just play the disc. 120
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I had a Steer & Go! It was amazing, you clipped a little magnet under the front wheels of your chosen matchbox car and then you could just drive it around (and around) 112

bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I was on my school's fencing team, and was taught Latin as a third language. And this was a compo in Cheltenham 221
bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Everyone forgets the golden rule : If your rhythm section is crap, your entire band is crap. Well, I say "everyone" I mean "everyone that isn't in the rhythm section" 001

bowdie @bowdie.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Y’know what, I suck at wood work, but I ended up successfully sinking the joystick into the control panel for my arcade machine, and with some trim around the edges, you can’t spot the inept warcrimes that lurk underneath. 061
