Alternatively, you are more than welcome to look at my personal blog detailing my personal struggles with mostly ASD (bit of an explanation, but it’s in About Me)

You also welcome to look at current work in progress content by looking at my work in progress blog which gives an idea of the ongoing development of items I am working on. If you are lost, the navigation bar on the left (desktop/tablet) or “hamburger bar” (top right on mobile) should help you get where you need. Plus the social media and the donate button is on the bar to the left as of current, so you avoid that.

  • I brought an Aliexpress thing (Part 2, Look inside)
    I finally found time to take it apart, iit was interesting and it worked. I guess that is also one way to get around the AIpocolypse, find cheaper drive and a 3D printed extension. Yes, I struggled to take it apart gingerly. I also for some reason, ran out of space at the very end on my flashcard.
  • Virtual Insanity (part 2)
    I thought this was going to be a one part thing, not 2 parts! Ok, time to do some explaining. (I broke it up into sections, so hopefully it is easy to read and its very technical on computing stuff). Some ideas seem like good ones, I mentioned in this blog about the server I am still running in 2026 despite being 12 years old and still running. It crashes every so often as its got too many servers, its running Windows 11 and Hyper-V which is a resource hog and keeps getting hacked. How… Read more: Virtual Insanity (part 2)
  • I brought an AliExpress thing….
    Its a Coolpi Genbook RK3588 and I did a video of it. So if you watch the video, I really couldn’t find much or if anything at all on this hackable, programmable computer. I didn’t get much time to spend with it, all 20 minutes worth, but I finally unpacked it. I’ll edit this post when I’ve taken it apart so you can see the guts and how it performs, its got a few programs I don’t like and if you hadn’t noticed or hadn’t watched yet, it doesn’t like my dual monitor setup, it… Read more: I brought an AliExpress thing….
  • Another wagon!
    As an offshoot of my previous post and getting my VPS working (Virtual Private Server click me to see what I mean), I’ve been trying to play with my latest asset from Blender. The good news is that the 10T tank Wagon is in Trainz, with LODs, with now rotating axles, bad news is that it isn’t textured yet and I as I write this, I have to fetch the screenshot to show you which is on another computer that isn’t available. Also unusually for my stuff, it actually has LODs, be it 4 levels.… Read more: Another wagon!
  • Virtually fun! (Or virtual insanity!)
    It was a good idea… I thought! (Feature image downloaded from Pixabay (Edgar Oliver), not my own image, so credit to the author for providing a royalty free image for me to use as I don’t have any server images that are suitable!) So I paused 3D modelling, well sort of, to work on a computer as I wanted to put my stuff in the cloud. First problem was finding a cloud provider cheap enough, I didn’t care what it was, it just had to be something. So, did a Google search and got in… Read more: Virtually fun! (Or virtual insanity!)
  • 25000 polygons later… (Blender)
    That was a bit unexpected, I got some serious optimisation to do! While trying to learn blender, I almost bar a few small things before it goes to the next stage, completed my tank wagon. It was an interesting project and the modelling took a week longer than I wanted, most of it is because I am trying to undo the way Max works as this is now muscle memory (GMAX which got me into modelling works way differently than Blender) and the unique ways that blender works. For example, the way you start an… Read more: 25000 polygons later… (Blender)

    Battle of the beats (Local radio station)

    With an unexpected surprise. I’ve not mentioned it for a while, but decided to play “Battle of the Beats” on a local radio station and I’ve taken part in it about 10 times. Usually, it ends up with my arse getting whipped. I started playing it for the first time this year, just for a…

    Review: Pritom L8 (or B8)

    This is quite a long post, but I thought I’ll give it my thoughts in the hope it will help someone. (image quality is pretty poor, I had the blind down because the day was a bit hot and my office faces south!) I’ll start by saying that I hope this review is useful to…

  • “Trust your instincts” I was taught.

    How many times do you hear “if you see something not quite right, contact the BTP on the text number, see it, say it, sorted”. I travel on the railways a lot and I have an eye for detail which does have some advantages, because you get to know what’s right and what is wrong.…

  • Knocking my site off line, Part 2 – It’s Back!!

    Knocking my site off line, Part 2 – It’s Back!!

    God, 2 weeks have been a real problem for this site! You may of noticed, I ‘ve had a lot of problems with this site, from Internal Server 500 errors (caused by running out of memory, not storage or bandwidth) to actually disappearing all together! I’ll explain. I’m probably the oldest client on Cadence networks,…

  • Did you know? (Trainz)

    Did you know? (Trainz)

    That the Trainz forum is now 25 years old today? They went live on the 01/08/2000 to promote what was Trainz Community Edition. I joined the forums on the 14/08/2000 looking for a train simulator that was more engaging than what I was using, that’s when I discovered after many hours of trawling through search…
