Like this KIM1 being used to play an actually decent asteroids game. Rob did as well as I did. Which was not well.

Computer club day in Cambridge! @computinghistory.org.uk is a fantastic venue who lay on some brilliant interesting things for us to explore. Many of us also bring our own things to share. But the best thing is chatting with all the lovely people that turn up.

Patreon and channel members are finding out what the hell is going on here. I think I might need to lay down in a dark room after seeing this pop out of an Ali Express bag!

Subject of my next More Fun Making It video. I've learned a lot. There's no promise that you will too, but it's a fun build video and fun is kinda in the channel name. I'm not Learn This Thing. Can you tell I'm stuck in a car dealer waiting room?

I need to send a faulty chip to a friend and thought I would check how many others I have currently in my bin.

The pic is just to lure people in. I had a very interesting chat this evening, and one of the subjects was community. It really made me realise just how much a part of everything I do is now about building communities. It's a slight echo chamber question for here, but how important is it to you?

What I love about tinkering with old computers is when you open them up you never know what you'll find. This ZX81 must have been a kit build. There's no way they would have fitted components in the factory like this!

Once you let Speccy's take hold in your lawn you're stuck with them for years. Probably have to set fire to it now.

And finally on Sunday I took my pal Fuzzy Lee on ANOTHER road trip, this time to the Cambridge Museum of Computing History where they were holding a bring and byte sale. I took lots of video and bought far more than I thought I would! Video will be coming soon!

I didn't like that the ring light which was supplied with my microscope was mains powered, so I took it apart. I'm glad I did! Crossing the mains neutral over the low voltage side to a tiny switch is very dodgy. I can't use this like this, it's not safe
