Seen Sabaton live. They know how to put on a good show.

 

Yeah i was really hoping to see them at Bloodstock, unforutnatly money issues and my Social Anxiety being out of control really put an end to those plans quite quickly

 

New offsite backup drive, consolidating a couple of smaller ones -

I didn't even realise 4TB in a 2.5" FF was a thing, delighted by the price too.

 

To finish off my keyboard I got these



X2, I need 7 keys

 

God that brings back memories.. I miss DFI

OOOH AND I HAD THAT PATRIOT STUFF TOO!

 

Evidently not my photo...



On offer in a local Aldi at £70 and it's bloody lovely. Not to replace my current "office" chair, it'll replace the old armchair in my office.


EDIT: Oh yeah, nearly forgot! This also:



It's basically a hand-held megadrive. Looks like someone's built an ASIC which is effectively a hardware megadrive emulator; comes loaded with 20 games, but you can insert an SD card loaded with ROMS also.

It got my hacker senses tingling: I've wanted to make a portable MAME system based on a Raspberry Pi for a long time and this thing looks ideal to gut - assuming I can actually bring myself to tear it apart and gut it, because it's not a half-bad little unit.

 

Its a real throwback, seems to be behaving itself too which for a DFI is curious

 

Pair of new kicks

 

I've posted here before about my grandparents wonderful Olympus 35-SP, but today my grandmother told me she had another camera lying around that I could have. It was a very pretty, barely used Polaroid SX-70 with the (now rather rare) accessory kit, which was apparently a company gift from when my grandfather worked at IBM.

I'm not all that fond of the lo-fi instant film look, but I'd love to try the camera out. The current prices for a film pack (Impossible Project) are pure theft though, at €25 delivered (that's 8 pictures! How do all those hipsters afford this stuff?).

 

Just spent far too much:

 

Spent $300 on used kitchen cabinets and a sink for my new place.

Friend of mind has a rec room he no longer uses and we're converting it into an apartment which I will rent from him. So far I've bought a ginormous bathtub and we're building out from there. Literally, the whole rest of the space is defined by the bathtub. Cabinets and stove are next, and once those get figured out we can start putting up walls and tiling the floor (and walls). Going to do the whole thing in steampunk.

Build log coming...

 

How did i not know this was a thing?
Bought on iTunes now.

 

Good Man!

Just in time for the (hopeful) return of DETHKLOK!!!!!

They just needed time to allow the nuclear fallout to recede from them recording on water.

 

They were very good at Bloodstock.

They did film their full set at Waken which will be on a live DVD soon and is song for song the same as Bloodstock.

 

Just got shipping notification of 2*4gb HyperX Fury 1866MHz DDR3L CL11 1.35V

Cheap!

 

She has arrived!

 

DC New 52 Aqua(wo)man reboot?

 

Very nice!!

Alien Vs Predator's Machiko Noguchi
Due a re-read of the books soon

 

Because hipsters use them as a display piece to pick up hipster girls, of course.

 

Could've spent less on the cooler if you bought it from me!
