nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I finally got around to making a cable to attach a 3" floppy drive to a Greaseweazle. It wasn't as hard as all the contrary information on the internet had led me to believe. To celebrate I printed myself a case and label to make it look authentic. 020
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Oh hello! A Spectrum +2 spotted in the video of the latest @warringtonruncorn.com video! Must be the grey version as the audio isn't distorted. #Ifyouknow... youtu.be/w8LIkEWVtT8?... 141
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I seldom buy old software but I had to get Starglider for the Speccy when it popped-up on eBay for £7! I paid full price for it back in the day, back when paying £14.95 for a cassette game was unheard of. A classic! 260
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I don't do football, but I did do this daft podcast. I'll always feel that the Mince renditions of Peter Beardsley, (Mr) Sting and Dom Littlewood are the genuine versions. WARHAMMER! 010
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Apparently calling my character 'Paul Hardcastle' isn't in the spirit of things. 220

nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'm not saying that copying files to the CF drive on a chum's Spectrum+3e was a complete ball-ache, but the experience did drive me to drink gin on a school night. 000
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Home from hols to find that our biggest sunflower didn't survive the bad weather whilst we were away. It gave us a chance to measure it though, 3.54 metres! 010
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Nous sommes en France. I was hoping there'd be a 24hr Jean-Michel Jarre channel. 100
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 27/08/2026One for @fuzzweed.co.uk Wiring termination in Dutch holiday park's lakeside changing room. Is it live? I didn't want to find out! 360
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 26/08/2026"Dad, whilst we're in The Netherlands can we try the local..." "NO! SAUSAGES!" 020

nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 25/08/2026The sauce of champions! There's a black market for this amongst the ex-UK military who served in Germany. 000

nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 13/08/2026As it was 842deg C in the local Makerspace we decided to set up our nerd session in my back garden instead. 000
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Eclipse done. At least it'll put a stop to all those awful brand videos flooding the socials this week: "HI, I'm John from Fray Bentos and I'm going to show you how you can safely view the eclipse this coming Wednesday..." 010
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It seems that global pandemics and eclipses are the only times our neighbours talk to each other. 000
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 11/08/2026We managed to lose the end bit from a brand new set of IKEA curtain poles. 3D printer to the rescue! Get a 3D printer folks. 3D printers are cool. 000
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 09/08/2026She has a Nintendo Switch, but I'm happy that the 9 yr-old prefers to play with a socket set. At the moment it's a fishing rod... 050
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Minor panic as the gas bottle ran out part-way through cooking. Luckily the local caravan centre closes at half five... 010
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The sunflowers that we carefully cultivated indoors, moved outside to pots and fed accordingly vs. the sunflowers that were grown from seeds randomly chucked into a patch of dirt... 000
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 05/08/2026We have new doors! The grand unveiling ceremony will be held tonight at 7pm and all are welcome to come and open, close or just look at the doors. And then leave. 030

nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Apologies to the bemused girl who operated the till in the computer section back in 1987, the young me was foolish to ask if you stocked the Cheetah Selector Connector for the Spectrum+2 Too late now, bye Smiths! 010
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Took the car to the garage in the industrial estate out of town. It's a lovely evening, decided to walk the few miles back through the colourful flowers of the allotments and past the ringing church bells. Couldn't enjoy it as throughout I had the theme to Never The fucking Twain stuck in my head. 052
nige @nigecube.bsky.social · 20/07/2026This place is a twenty-minute drive away and we never visit. Rectifying that this summer! 010
