If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

Reading on a Deadline
Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue.

It’s sort of the deal with living at one extreme corner of the United Kingdom. Sheffield is a vibrant city with a surprising amount of green space, and…

The Lazarus Monitor
You might be able to get a hint from the title… A brief disclaimer. Don’t do stupid things with electronics and electrical items unless you understand how they work. Don’t discharge capacitors with a screwdriver. If in doubt, leave things unplugged, depress the power button, and leave for hours to days (depending on the item)…

Liverpoolestar (is that anything?)
Screw your CCS cable to the sticking place… I am in Liverpool for a conference and the two realistic transportation options were to take the train, or drive myself. You probably realise by now that I’m a big advocate of both active travel and public transport. Getting cars off the road makes things better for…
