Starting to look at a new PC. Was leaning towards pre-build, but I've built my last three desktops; I like my tower cases (Antec), and my 2070 Super hasn't given me reason to upgrade. Thinking it would be cheaper to re-use what I have. 🤷

Intel or AMD Ryzen, that is the question. 🤔

Having a hard drives backup day.
Always feels therapeutic.

I'm still buying the hard copy, mind you...:

Nice one, Germany!✌️🤘

To those not familiar, Alan's saucy books are quite popular with the ladies.

When awarding him an MBE in 2000, the Queen said: “You give a lot of ladies a lot of pleasure.” 😂

I'm guessing you won't find his books anywhere in North Korea either...

Sad to see Indycar jumping the shark.

"IndyCar’s $1 Million Exhibition Race At A Club Track Was A Ridiculous Attempt To Recreate The Worst Parts Of Formula 1
No fan should be forced to watch a glorified test session dressed up as an opportunity to attract investors"

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

Aside from being a not-too-shit movie adaptation, the Wing Commander games are fantastic and the collection is currently on sale at GOG. I'm in two minds whether to get them as I've heard the 3DO versions are better. #retrogaming

Mr Anderson... You piece of shit.

Other half is out tonight; rare evening to myself. Ordered myself a tika masala, pilau rice, and Narn bread, fixed myself and Old Fashioned, now watching Babylon 5: The Road Home. 📺🤘 #Babylon5

It would appear that St Patrick is more popular than St David... 😅 🍀

So, I've fallen further to the dark side and bought an iPad. 😁 Actually, I love my AppleTV, and my first tablet was the first iPad.

Got tired of my creaky kindle HD, which I had to sideload apps to make it functional for my needs. Samsung seem to have the monopoly, and I'm less keen on Android as a tablet. MS Surface? Fuck that; been there!

Only thing missing for iPad is something like NewPipe for YouTube (yes, I know, slum it and use a browser with ad block). 😂
