I used a Pi as my shack computer for ages. Worked ok. But when WSJTX came out It wouldnβt install.
I subscribed the Pi for a cheap laptop and the speed/performance difference was incredible, so I replaced it with a small tower. Now considering a compact Geekom.

One cost me Β£600 once. Pizza Hut had them, for a short while, with the ice cream factory as a topping.
I loaded up but, as we chatted for a while, they had become rock solid sitting on the ice cream.
One bite and I sheared a tooth off at the gum and needed a crown!

Just had a quick look on Mastodon. Quite a few posts, but very little interaction between people.
Probably why I only have a quick look every now and then.

I failed the online test, or passed depending on your outlook. I was just a few points over, taking me into the middle category.

These, but only when they are on discount (Β£1.40 ish). Donβt think they are worth the usual Β£2.50

I am very much neurodivergent.
I came home after popping out for a bit, to Mrs KPH saying βIβve just watched a programme on autism and ADHD and I just sat there going βthatβs you that isββ.
I donβt have RL friends to speak of, never did have. I expect I am quite annoying in person. π€

You should go to the camping shop and pick up those instant jeans where you just add water!
