Playing with TAM-8085 educational microcomputer from the 80's. #Intel 8085 processor, small monitor ROM and 2k of RAM.

Chili seedlings for this season have poked their leaves out of the dirt.

Recapped, replaced PSU + composite video out to #Philips #Videopac G7000 console from early 80's. I might have gone overboard with new PCB.

"New" #Pentax ME camera and an extra 135mm lens arrived. After some surface cleaning the set was deemed usable for taking pictures.

Vaatteita netistä, pöh. #Zalando:n valikoima petti. Joten ALSDE8C4 #kuponki (10€ pois 75€ tilauksesta) nopealle, voimassa vielä sunnuntain.

A reference book from 1986, when MSDOS 3.2 was the bleeding edge. I used to read this in the mid 90's. Systems were simple. #retrocomputing

Time to pull the plug on 6+ year old Atom 'play server' at home. And replace it with some #raspberrypi style system and #cloud.

Sneaked coaxial and control cables outside for HF-antenna. Soon I'll be able to use my #hamradio stuff without keeping the door open.

Had a nostalgia trip to years 2003-2010. Some good and forgotten memories were found from an old harddrive. Times were simpler back then.

Observed a sample of rare PP9/6F100 #battery during weekend. Expired in 2002. Might have been used to power a clock on a sports field.

Somewhat by accident obtained original schematics for PRK-84 computer designed by #oh2ti. Also we did not know the existence of 1.0 drawings

Measuring backyard's microclimate with #Vaisala WXT520 #weather transmitter. ..actually, just writing software for a unit on loan.

Holy crap, the Ori team again produces something that looks absolutely stunning :o youtube.com/watch?v=0a1c_I…

Tonight I'll have to go outside after sundown to look for bats. I think that I saw one or two bats hunting yesterday just outside my window.

There were no bats, only some kind of swallows. Also observing nearby abandoned grain silo did not yield any hints of bats inhabiting it.

I wonder if the lack of docs (for 3rd party integration) has caused disappearance of 2 small Finnish home automation systems from market.

Visit to civil defence #museum (0€) in Helsinki was ok. Old photos and posters were the most interesting exhibits. hvssy.fi/museo/

Tested 5 EU located low end #vps offerings on IO performance (4k random 75%/25% R/W). Spread was huge: 70/20(!!) to 24k/4k IOPS. Median was 3k/1k.
