I feel like I should probably make rhubarb jam, or something.

Did we manage get the IIgs to boot over the network? What the what! How far will it actually go? #LiveLaughLocalTalk

Floating weighted Apple logo so it's always right side up, no matter what angle the iPad is at!

Welp. My luggage didn’t make it to Kirkwall International Airport, but at least the IIgs did. :apple_inc:

Pleased to confirm that bringing an Apple IIgs as carry-on through airport security gets you pulled off to the side. :apple_inc:

It very desperately needs a wash, but if ever there were a hat that screamed out ‘nerrrrrrd!’, this is that hat. #RetroComputing #HighFashion

Oh wowwwww! Here’s something from a very specific era: a blobby graphite external FireWire CDRW drive. #RetroComputing

The Guardian: are heat pumps more expensive to run? https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/13/are-heat-pumps-more-expensive-to-run-than-gas-boilers

Me, just the other side of my first winter with a heat pump (with oil rather than gas, mind you): no!

The house has been consistently more comfortable, too. Turns out I really like how it runs at a lower temperature longer compared the on-scorchingly-hot-then-off of a gas/oil boiler.

Not to mention how much the cats adore the giant warm-but-never-hot radiators :D

Had a poke round Orkney Wireless Museum, and found another good reminder of why you always need to check up on your capacitors. #RetroComputing
