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…

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…

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…

Virtually fun! (Or virtual insanity!)

Breaking my site… again!
I mentioned about this in my previous blog post, but yes, again, I broke my site again! Its the contact me form again. I had issues in the past with the site going off line randomly and I’ve been trying to sort that since June or July (yeah, none of that stuff please? You know,…

For all my readers – Happy Christmas!!
Ok, short but sweet blog, well ok, a little longer as now I have 4 1/2 days off work (YAY!) and a pile of stuff to do at home (Boo) and places to go in the new year, I.e. hunting Avanti West Coast services on the Settle to Carlisle line (opens in a new window,…

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…
