The #WorkshopClearout continues... This time it's a JVC CRT monitor with SDI conversion. Old-school tech but still quite sort-after in some circles. ebay.co.uk/itm/2035857946…

Raspberry Pi @TheMagPi The weather outside is frightful 🥶 But the code inside is sprite-ful 🕹 You love LEDs, we know... 😍 So let ‘em glow, let ‘em glow, let ‘em glow. 🤩🎄🤩🎄 Giant #RaspberryPi powered LED ping pong ball matrix. (Based on code by Andrew O. Cotswold Jam)

As cute as this looks and feels as it's tiny claws grip my finger, I do wish these tiny creatures would stop flying into our windows leaving them dazed and confused and leaving me to save them from the local puddy-tat! Today a young #BlueTit, yesterday it was a young GreatTit

After a day of achieving far too little, I decided to do something positive by clearing out the workshop... I mean do I really need mice with balls and 9-pin serial connectors, 5 DVD drives with 40 pins, 18 3.5" HDDs, some also with 40 pins... recycling center here I come 😟...

Raspberry Pi All my friends are leaving and this makes me sad. So I made Bye-Bye Bird. Connected to the Twitter API, it sheds a single tear when someone uses the #RIPTwitter hashtag.
