Had a call from the job I’m to do tomorrow.. Just making sure I could make it and to see if I could do another job right away.. Long story but I passed on it, thought I had gotten out of it.. Then they rung back and booked it for the Morning (DOH!). Rahl was [...]
So up everyone drags themselves at about 10am.. Very late for all concerned but by the looks of it we all needed it Ended up having a cuppa and then dropping them off home before heading out with the hounds.. Then the curse that is mine and mine alone.. The Christmas Decorations get packed away.. [...]
WARNING – This is me in a really bad and depressed mood, so just take everything with a pinch of salt here – END OF WARNING. Well this morning started well, but things just stared to feel wrong shortly after 11am.. The delivery I had ordered Friday still hadn’t arrived and I was struggling with [...]
Today I tried once again to get the Amiga 1200 working on my Network. Sadly I managed to bugger up the video display when I started to get frustrated with the machine. Since then I have been struggling to get the video working again, I downloaded the drivers from the internet, burned them onto CD [...]
Well the day started pretty nice, although a bit on the chilly side, Rahl managed to get his car started and popped round to pick up a phone I was keeping aside for him, while I chatted to Lemmy on 145.350MHz about nothing in general. Lemmy’s finally got the mic working and must admit it [...]

This morning I was pleasantly surprised to see a cheque through the door from the company I did the work for a couple of weeks ago. I then received a call from another company interested in my services but requesting some references from companies I have done work for. Now I have done work for [...]
Not a lot to say about today really, I played Guildwars with Rahl for a bit and took the dog for her walk in the evening.. Had a fantastic Roast dinner then went off to pick up Rahl and Lemmy to go to the Junk Sale (talked Rahl into popping along for a laugh), got [...]
Managed to finally get the retro room clean enough to start activating old machines. First up was the C64, which strangely looks better on the RF lead than the Composite cable I made.. Hmm. Anyway 2 hours later and I finally realised why the Amiga Scart cable (again one I made) wasn’t working.. Of course [...]
Brace yourselves this is going to be a bit of a long winded one So today I have a feeling I’m going to get no calls or anything, so after playing about with the PC and Cantenna last night I decided to have another look at the PCI card. Popping the silver cover off the [...]
