Easily done!

Built a D&D world. Meant to keep it small. Ended up with 300+ pages of lore, subclasses, and chaos.
Now it’s in print. Typos and all.
Welcome to Scalethorn: Songs of the Broken Sky.

Might post the preface soon.

Love my sleep earbuds. Hate the capacitive touch. One brush from a pillow and boom: max volume or the voice assistant at 2 a.m. Surely I’m not the only one?

So, I've been working on something for a while... Still in progress, but I think it'll be finished earlier than expected!
#Dnd #Writing,

Flicked the wrong switch mid-flight and my drone learned about gravity.
Battery took the hit and did it’s doing its best balloon impression.

Reminder: if your LiPo looks like it’s auditioning for The Michelin Man, don’t risk it.
Send it to recycling, not back into the sky.

Another one to the collection...

So, apparently I really needed to sleep last night 😅

Me: Pays for parking with an app with Google Pay
App: Here’s your receipt
SMS: Here’s your receipt
Email: Here’s your receipt
Bank: You paid for parking
Google: You paid for parking
The Cloud: You paid for parking
A pigeon wearing a tiny postman hat: You paid for parking

Feels like it needs more drones, or is that just my obsession talking?

Though I'm really keen to get some proper cinematic shots soon

#Drones #Hobbies

When you see another cool looking drone!

With all the live action hit and misses... How to train your dragon has blown me away! My favourite animated film in live action is great!

CGI was amazing, couldn't tell if it was actually CGI or practical, a must watch!

The view of Tamworth from above is something else! 🌳🚁 I’ve been diving into cinematic drone shots lately—not just FPV. It’s amazing how much more you can capture with smooth, wide shots. Definitely a new area I’m exploring.

🛸 FPV dive went beautifully—until it didn’t.
Minor damage, valuable lessons, and still a successful day of flying and tuning.

Even small crashes are part of the process. Every flight teaches you something new.

Went from one crispy LiPo to a whole fleet:
🔋 2x 2200mAh
🔋 1x 4000mAh
🔋 1x 5000mAh

The Manta’s rocking a new power connector and is almost ready for liftoff—just needs a bit of tuning.
Shame the wind's out here trying to reenact Twister with 36mph gusts. 🌪️🚫

As if you didn't have to work about trusting the internet... AI videos are getting scarily good.

Ordered drone parts on a bank holiday. Now I sit by the window like a Victorian widow, clutching a tracking number, whispering “it’s out for delivery” to myself as the wind howls with unfulfilled Amazon promises.

Caught in the wild

Really been loving drones this year—FPV is wild! Thinking of trying some cinematic shots next, might even be good enough to sell as stock footage. Any tips? #FPV #drones #cinematicshots

Well, that's another project added to my list... Why do I do this to myself 😅

Struggled to sleep last night, so naturally… started working on a new project (yes, another one). This time it’s a terminal companion that watches your shell commands, answers your questions, and can even run tools based on your intent. Think AI meets bash wizardry. 💻🧠 #Coding #LLM #DevLife

Rise and grind, hacker kind.
Your code won't write itself, your networks won't test themselves, and your legacy won't build itself.
Let the world feel your presence this week.
🔐⚡💻 #MondayMotivation #CyberLife

Whoops..a drone got a bit of a short circuit, need a new battery and new battery connectors... One day it'll get a proper flight.

In the mean time, the Neo is still going strong.

Had a really nice time at Bsides Birmingham, socialised with so many interesting people.

Can't wait for the next one

And we're here

Birmingham Bsides is here!

Let's go!

Just completed the battery upgrade for my Rog Ally, longer gaming sessions while on the move!!!

Yet another project for me to do... Keep on gaming people

As a kid, I was led to believe quicksand and the Bermuda Triangle were going to be major life hazards. I’m 30+ and neither has shown up. What else were we irrationally warned about?

Sometimes you just need to step away, smash some dinner, reduce the Monster Loco levels, and come back with a good old facepalm to make progress.
Finally upgraded my drone from a DJI O3 Air Unit to an O4 Air Unit Pro. Perseverance wins. 🚀😂

I can see why pegboards are liked... I need more now!
