Spending some time today learning how to read telemetry data using Motec for iracing. Getting old so the small text is not helpful, but i hope it will help me improve my sim racing setups and driving style. I know it is a great piece of software if you understand the data #simracing #iracing #motec

4 Hours sleep last night😫Was drifting off when I had an app idea🤔 , so sat up to make some short notes about it. Next thing I know it's 2 hours later and I am sat at my computer! #coding #coffee #sleep

Ouch! I know #LiamLawson was struggling with the #redbull and I get why they have swapped drivers. But this is a little bit cold. Maybe give a driver a chance to adapt his driving style to a new car in the off season, like Merc did with #KimiAntonelli

I believe everybody who had an amiga cd32 owned this game "Microcosm" , as it came bundled with the console. As I get a bit older it feels like all my old games take on more importance. They take me back to younger days , which is why I love collecting retro games.🤔 #retrogames #collecting #fun

Just cannot ever remember playing this cd32 title. But it is here in my collection so I must have. Think it may have been a game that I swapped back in the day, before we all downloaded everything! Is it worth playing? #battlechess #cd32 #retrogame #gaming #amiga #console

Well done to Lewis for winning the sprint race. I like the way the season has started with each car showing pace at different tracks. Lets hope it continues this way! But the biggest motorsport news is that I clocked a 1:49.8 at Road America in the Lotus 79 on iRacing👍 #LewisHamilton #iRacing #F1

Time for Dinner. I am trying a tweak to my spaghetti bolognese recipe by adding some beef stock and a little cream. My hope is to make it fuller in flavour, and me a little fatter! 😏 #food #dinner #eat #friday

For some reason I really like the sense of structure in this image, captured at today's Banbury Car & Bike Meet. Sony A7C, 35mm f1.8 lens. #photograohy #automotive #carphotography #hothatches #blackandwhitephotography

Watched a really good vid last night called "The cars that made the 90s" . Love seeing people talking with passion about their cars. Not feeling the need to apologise for driving them. #cars #driving #hothatches #oldschool #jasonplato youtu.be/UwXBXuQL3vc?...

Hope the F1 race in China is a goodie! We all have our favourite drivers and teams, but I just want to see some good fair racing, and less whinging about other teams tech. Lets have a great season where multiple teams win not just 1 or 2🤞 #F1 #maxverstappen #lewishamilton #china #sprint #ferrari

I also decided to change my profile picture. I think the shaved head made me look like an angry bouncer! So I have gone for the staring into the distance, deep in thought look! #image #calming #nerdy #hair

Working on another numbers based game today. I do like making apps I hope help people learn something! It's not going to make me rich , but to be honest I just enjoy the whole creative process.😊 #Education #Apps #Android

Very sad to hear of the passing of not just a great F1 character, but a unique life force in general! RIP Eddie Jordan you made me smile until today!😢

Just about to step outside into the sunshine🤨It's been awhile so wish me luck! More patio cleaning, my life is just what I hoped it would be endless cleaning, jetting, sweeping! #dayoff #tired

Years ago when I had my first computer a ZX81 ,I remember an article in Sinclair User showing a piece of machine code to scroll the screen. It was so hard to understand at first, but wow when it began to make sense to me it felt amazing! Never give up on trying to learn new things. #education #code

The trouble with working from home is getting roped into fun home things like jetting down the patio ! I shall post a before and after picture depending on the outcome of my efforts.😒

Solid practice session in the Lotus79 last night. My setup is all about balance and I think it works well. Not fast yet running low 1:53s so nothing special. Just trying to get a handle on this car. I always prefer to build my own setups as it adds to the enjoyment for me. #slow #iracing #simracer

Time to have some dinner then do some practice in the Lotus 79 on #iRacing for Road America. My aim is to not crash!😬

Another #retrogame from my collection The Chaos Engine for the Amiga CD32 console was in my opinion the best game bundled with the console. Fast paced with nice clean graphics and good sounds very playable! Not just my opinion many others agree. That why I keep this copy!👍

I have had quite a busy day today. Never easy being a man and attempting multitasking but I did ok. Most of day spent switching between my paid work😒 and my little android side projects. So hard to find a balance that works.

Sharing a picture of one of my favourite gaming memories of all time. This is for the Amiga CD32 Console from the 90s. I was so addicted to this game. The game is Cannon Fodder an absolute classic! Here is a Mint cellophane wrapped example from my retro games collection. #retrogames #gaming

Not entirely sure how, but it's now seven years since I returned this thing to roadworthy condition. Picture taken after her first MOT Pass since 2002.

"The ZX Spectrum’s competitor was the Commodore 64, a popular machine that Retro Games had already recreated. Nowadays we’ve got The Spectrum, which is ready to take you back to the 80s (but with a modern twist)."
