My wife got this seminal goth rock album for me from First Press Vinyl in Belfast.

Amazing!

I heard about the new 'Retro AIM Server' and had to check it out.

I've installed it but there's no-one to talk to. It's still awesome though!

Thanks to @ActionRetro and their frogfind search engine, I'm able to read the news online!

It's just a shame that global news is currently shite.

Simpering centrism and tech-bro fellating has led us here, eh?

Fuck fascism.

Now that they finally have a Mastodon account, everyone should follow @basearcade as they are lovely chaps who run a brilliant arcade in Belfast, Northern Ireland!

I forgot to post about the absolute goth banger I got.

I love a bit of Mephisto Walz... And it's even better with some red wine.

I recently installed a new battery in my Palm Tungsten T3 PDA and the battery life has vastly improved!

This little device is perfect for my new job as I need to plan and keep track of a lot of meetings, tasks and other things.

Unlike modern smartphones, it's also distraction-free. Well... almost.

I bid everyone a Happy New Year from the 'future' in New Zealand!

Sadly I will be returning home to Ireland tomorrow.

New Zealand has been a stunning and wondrous place filled with the most beautiful human beings.

I've seen incredible scenery, met lovely people, eaten delicious food and drank amazing beer.

I only have a few days left in New Zealand and, apart from drinking copious amounts of excellent craft beer every day, I've been continuing my exploration.

Today consisted of Sumner beach, Lyttleton and dinosaur mini golf.

A nice little video that confirms what we already know...

The internet is killing old PCs.

More beautiful New Zealand scenery from the hills surrounding Christchurch.

A big walk was followed by a delicious pint.

The power supplies in these old computers should always be recapped but...

I wanted to know if it had any other issues and I like to live dangerously.

Oh.

Well, look at what has arrived...

Courtesy of @nivrig, I have now acquired a very dirty Apple IIe.

This was rescued from a skip and the photos don't do the grime and dirt justice.
