Started working on a nice KS2 maths app last month. All going very well! Will be launching on the app store in the near future.

Today my water cooled pc is keeping itself nice a cold by pumping loads of lovely hot air into my room on a hot stuffy day! #gpu and #cpu temps looking great. My temps are running a little bit higher than i would like so about to switch on #beer cooling for safety 😀

Super way to start my day. #Ants crawling around my kitchen doorframe, If i mention this to my sister she will insist on me catching each ant and tagging it with a little coloured leg hoop.

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

This was an early piece of code I remember writing on my trusty zx81 . Can you remember what it does🤔

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.🤔

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?

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👍

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! 😏

For some reason I really like the sense of structure in this image, captured at today's Banbury Car & Bike Meet.

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.

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🤞

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!

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.😊

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!😢
