Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 08/06/2026As a lifelong @sega-west.bsky.social fan, I’m feeling a little disappointed with Lego right now. We can do better. 010
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 15/05/2026Nice to see the Bee get some love. Thanks @bigcar2.bsky.social for a great video. youtu.be/idt-g_UQbqw?si=c9TyMSH854r… youtu.beAustralia's Greatest Computer? The MicroBee StoryYouTube video by Little Car 291
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 29/03/2026A couple of days ago I mentioned my MacBook Neo. Thermal mod now done. I'm loving this little beast, but reviewers *really* need to get over the fact that it's not a creative's dream. Oh no, it won't render 4k in moments. If that's what they were expecting, then they bought the wrong laptop. 050
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 17/03/2026New huge outdoor screen at work needed testing. If you remember, youre one of us. #allyourbase 173
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 08/03/2026Jessica and i have been busy! Stan lost his head ages ago. He's been dumped out the back for many months. After many hours cleaning, he now lights up our life! (Well, our lounge room at least) 4182
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 05/02/2026PC handhelds. I have a huge collection of vintage computers. Never get time. I built a new PC last year. Already spend too much time sitting at a PC. Then i got a SteamDeck (and now a LeGo S) and im actually gaming again. As someone who is time poor, too exhausted, its been a revelation. 060
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 01/01/2026@actionretro.bsky.social - hey man, is your Classicube server still up? 110
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 26/12/2025Bought a little Mini-PC to play with over xmas. I went: Amazon Search: Mini PC Filter: Get it in two days Sort: by cheapest. Promptly ignored all the really low-end Intel Celeron-ey stuff and ended with a cheap Ryzen 5 thing. ..... 130
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 21/12/2025Today's fun... Take an old *Apple* Mac Mini Install *Linux* Use XFCE4 + Chicago95 theme Use Heroic + GoG to play old *Windows* games. This is the world I now live in /shrug 2121
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 14/12/2025Playing around with some random hardware + my main PC with some Linux distros. I'll add some commentary below... 150
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 30/11/2025Ive been doing a bunch of stuff with cheap modern-ish PC hardware with a lot of Linux and Gaming stuff. Random FB Marketplace/CEX hardware - that kinda thing. Are ppl interested in seeing this? I could be tempted to bust out the camera again. Certainly wouldnt be anything flash. 5271

Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 03/05/2025Watching the election results on YT. Sky news 6000 watching Channel 9, 5700 Channel 10, 2000 ABC - 40000 watching. Say what you want about Aunty, but when it counts it's still who Australia tunes into. 061
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 17/03/2025It's not every day you get to tick off the top spot of "Toys i could only dream of as a kid". Yes, its the 2002 reissue, but i don't care. It's truly amazing. 090
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 15/03/2025Nothing quite like replacing your wifi router to remember how many wifi devices you have that all need reconnecting. 190
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 10/03/2025Designed and printed a vertical enclosure for a pair of old Tandons i had to suit the Tandy. Once I find a genuine drive for the Model 1, ill reprint the covers in beige and they'll go to the System 80. 1324
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 02/03/2025Sitting atop my grail list for the longest time has been a TRS80 Model 1, Level 2 with the expansion interface. Finally, FINALLY it's done. So freaking happy. 7792
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 26/02/2025I kinda went a bit quiet whilst dealing with, well…. Unemployment. Most probably know I’ve spent the last 18 years at the University of Canberra. But good news! Next week I start in a new position at UNSW. (Although I’m not going to deny, the last few months have been nice to have off). 2180

Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 22/01/2025Ever sold a car and as it's driving off you think "Shit, I'm gonna regret that". My Amiga 2000 We put sooooo much time into restoring this machine but over a year ago I sold it thinking I have other machines that can basically do the same thing. Last weekend I had the opportunity to buy it back. 182535
Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 18/01/2025I bet a new video from me wasn't on your bingo card this weekend?

Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 21/12/2024Jess needed a new car. An Alfa wasn’t on the list. Then we drove it. I know it’ll break our hearts and empty our wallets, but it’s such a special car. Oh, and I traded the Kia on a GTI 😁 180

Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 01/12/2024After 18 years, as of tomorrow morning I’ll be unemployed. I’ve been made redundant after years of putting my all into my job. I’m hurt and disappointed, but am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’ll miss my team and my academics the most. 7500

Mr Lurch @mrlurch.com · 23/11/2024I shutdown my birdsite account some time ago because as useful as it was, any kind of support for that yobbo…. Gah! Let’s see how this goes. Here’s my latest project #sinclair #sinclairZX80 5668
