I managed to get my hands on a faulty graphics card that probably has the fastest VLB graphics chip that existed. This is how I repaired it (with benchmarks at the end). linuxjedi.co.uk/vintage-speed-…

Interesting repair today. #Amiga 1200 Infinitiv Tower the owner imported from Poland. UK Border Force stuck their hand in it and managed to rip the reset wire connector from the motherboard. Breaking a trace & pad and snapping an SMD resistor. All repaired now. bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.…

The photo CommodoreBlog used is my first A1000 before I repaired it, Retro32 owns that one now. This is a photo of my latest one at an event in Norwich a few weeks ago. Happy Amiga day!

Over the years, people have asked me why the RGBtoHDMI can't do audio. Well, now it can. I have RGBtoHDMIs for #Amiga 500 with audio injection on pre-order available here: retrosupplies.co.uk/amiga-rgbtohdm…

It took me 6 attempts to pass Microsoft's Captcha on the Office 365 admin site today. Including failing the audio version. I think this proves I'm not human.

I was asked about the vacuum system on my JBC 6040 hot air station, so I spent a short bit of time making a low production value video demonstrating it: youtube.com/watch?v=Wbu0q3…

I decided to move my main soldering bench to a lower desk. I was regretting starting half an hour in, but now I think I like it.

For any of my US customers here, I will be suspending US shipping in the next couple of weeks. Tariffs will have to be paid at point of shipping and due a small print thing it is looking like it will be a minimum of $80 per package.

Hotel trick I learnt this weekend: if you don’t have a bottle opener with you, the arm of the spring loaded mechanism for the door works great.

I find it fascinating that there is a famous UK tech company whose job application process is so bad, that it has been a running joke in the industry for years. From what people said today, that company still hasn’t changed it.
