Nipped out into the back garden between meetings to see if I could see today’s eclipse. I found horizon to horizon rolling cloud and trying to project the eclipse using a pinhole camera wasn’t very successful.

The sun appeared now and again through the cloud and I decided to risk an old bridge camera where I wouldn’t be too upset if I fried the sensor.

Luckily the camera’s sensor and my sight survived.

Just spotted and supported this wonderful proposal for a Lego Women of Computing set. It would be so good to get this to over 10,000 votes and give it a chance to become reality.

It’s the creation of 20tauri who previously created the iconic Lego Margaret Hamilton.

I started building this Lego crane on (checks notes…) Boxing Day 2019. Three lockdowns, a heart attack, and some pretty intense projects at work later, and I’ve finally managed to find time to complete it.

At last I can start building the Lego Porsche 911 RSR that my lovely sister bought me for my 2020 non-birthday. Should have it finished in, oh… a year or two.
