This is working around the ${dayJob} and family, grabbing an hour or so here and there, so not expecting miracles. Just going to enjoy the moment and hobby the heck out of it.

I really appreciate you blogging so much of your stuff. Speccy things are getting harder to find because the discussions happen on closed platforms or have been lost in community squabbles or in the Internet Archive shutdowns. Your blog is a brilliant resource so thanks for documenting your hobby.

Thank you! That was the original intention a few years ago when I started it. I'm just amazed and pleased that there are so many folk still interested in 40-odd year old computers. Since the Twitter fallout I've started investing more in the blog than microblogging platforms.

The danger is ${dayJob} sapping all your energy

Oh heck yes. I've just started a new role within the company and am having to learn a load of new software packages. Life used to be so much easier. Sigh.

I've found sneaking in a bit of hobby stuff during working hours works wonders for both the hobby and work
