After 41 years playing #Elite games from the original in 1984 on BBC Micro to #elitedangerous I’ve finally gained Elite status! o7

Is this a #guinessrecord for how long it’s taken?!

With the rare warm weather in the UK arriving today, my thoughts have turned to important matters such as 'how do I cool my drinks'.

Taking advantage of my @octopus.energy ASHP, I may well have solved the problem and benefited humanity!

No AHSP's were actually harmed

When the first thought in your head is CTRL + Z after accidentally painting where you shouldn’t.

A #blender + #affinityphoto mashup.

Ducky3D genodes organic cell tutorial with various overlays in Affinity Photo for a grungy sinister look.

Opened up Affinity Designer today after quite a while from doing any digital art and out pops this, a fair move away from usual pixel art things done before.

How it started (6 years ago) and how it's going...

Been a while since I've picked up the virtual brush, but had a bit of a play with #affinityphoto this morning.

#revolution is a take on #vinyl nostalgia after an earlier set of #retro themed vinyl posters from a few years ago.

@octopus.energy a suggestion that if you have engineers working at a customer property who has an EV charger, some mechanism for the team to charge their van (as probably they don't have a great range) but credit the customers account so they're not out of pocket?

New #zx81 addition to the 'office'. My first computer sometime in 1981. Having to tune the TV, lying down in the front room and typing code from the manual at page 13 of 'PRINT 2+2', mindblowing for a 7 year old.

Some #voxel art I created a few years back. Wanted to create some cubes with high levels of minute detail...

Some posters inspired by #Amiga version #Elite, arguably one of the greatest games of all time by Ian Bell & David Braben. Cramming a whole galaxy into such a small code base was genious. Spent many many hours playing on my #C64

This #sinclair #zx81 represents the joy of a 7 year old coming home from school to see my Dad had bought one when it was released. This fueled my childhood in home computers with the #c64 and then #amiga to ultimately follow a career in technology. Found this bargain online, so had to collect it.
