Saddened to hear of the death of the legendary comic Stanley Baxter. From comedy films to large variety series to children's favourite Mr Majeika , Stanley was on our screens regularly for 30 years. Here Stanley plays 5 characters to show you how everyone loved the BBC Micro

Anyone taken amateur radio kit on a flight that's in a housed in home 3D printed case? Want to take my LoRa APRS tracker to Switzerland with me next week. Would be in my carry on bag #hamradio

Still not sorted a QSL card for my full licence. I passed that exam back in 2021! Will add to Christmas break to-do list. #hamradio #qsl

Not used @veeam.com for 7 years. Used it again this week - still remember it all. Amazing what you can recall when you need to.

When you run out of Velcro or cable ties, an old diode will do.
