Started working on a side hustle of a retro gaming site - if anybody is interested, hit me up. We hope it will be big one day.

Netflix has nearly 300 million subscribers. They have just put my price up by £1 a month. Sooooo if they have put everybody’s up by the same that’s… well… and then an extra per year of ? You don’t need me to work it out. There better be a new Tiger King at the end of this…

It’s super annoying when two of the four packages on the way for review get stuck in customs with fees to pay and then you have to wait for a letter telling you what need to pay before you can even begin to sort it. Especially when I need one of the ones that stuck for the two I have to be useful

Sad, sad news. A lovely guy and a key games industry legend for so long here in the UK.

Not posted much for a while so here’s something I’ve been up to. I took this photo. From my garden. In Swinton. Technology is mad when it’s not ruining the world. #dwarf3 #astrophotography #andromeda

Congratulations you are the two millionth email I have had about FKN BLACK FRIDAY this week. Unbearable.

Y’know what. Looking at the price of certain retro games on eBay, they can’t possibly sell surely. Nobody is paying 900 quid for Wings on the Amiga are they? I’ll give you 25 quid mate for old times sake. that’s my limit #retrogaming

And also. Is it just me finding the irony that on the week we finally all move house to a new social network, the world gets obliterated by nuclear war. I feel as though we may have left it a bit late.

You ever think about how maddening it must've been to have seen a giraffe before cameras? Coming back to Blighty trying to tell people about this totally implausible creature with no evidence of its existence.

When our daughter was little she told me to go into the garden because it was full of slags and butterflies. Never ran outside so fast in my life.

I feel like we all just picked Bluesky and didn’t even give MILF Messenger a chance

Gonna restore another piece of 80s ‘Tat’ in the bg this week. Not computer-related as such but was hugely influential in my teenage life. Initial look inside it’s grim and mechanically doomed but fixed the first part I wanted working with a little grease. #retrocomputing #retro

Right Bluesky. I’ve been neglecting you for shitshow elsewhere. What’s changed?

Updated to iOS 17 beta. Two mins later my phone feels hot. This might be a terrible mistake.

I wanted my first post on Bluesky to be iconic. I thought long and hard what it would be. So here’s me with Basil Brush.
