In case you missed it. Here is my review of three LTT screwdrivers and the projects that they helped me fix during my testing.

A couple of months ago, Linus Media Group got in contact, asking me to review its range of screwdrivers. After many weeks of testing (fixing two PCs, 3D printer and some shelves), my review of the #LTT screwdrivers is now live!

What sorcery doth though speakth of?
Concise and to the point. You should be my editor :)
A collection of screwdrivers on my bench.
Currently at 3365 words in a review of three screwdrivers. Coming soon to bigl.es
All being well, I will be at #Oggcamp next weekend. I'll also have some bits for the swapshop table :D

That is image pixelation :)
The maker section of my office. There is a 3D printer, soldering iron, tools and shelves full of gadgets and gizmos.
I've also tidied up the maker section of my office.
Star Trek commbadge
I'm calling this a win!
Printed a quick Star Trek commbadgie (benchy to just test that it works, and I can give to a Star Trek fan.)
6 minutes in rapid PLA.
3D printer screen showing that levelling is complete
Bed levelling is a pass!
Now input shaping and PID tuning before I run a test print.
A messy desk full of tools and a 3D printer which is being worked on.
Currently taking my Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D printer to pieces to check levelling sensor wiring. Not the funnest job ever, but I keep getting a 502 error regarding bed alignment and I've tried many other "fixes".
Merci :)
I do. Perhaps something smaller than the USS Enterprise D. I'm thinking a time travelling car will do the job :D
Got the Lego USS Enterprise D and need a custom red alert system? That was my first project using Pimoroni's TinyFX W. At the press of a button it will illuminate five RGB LEDs and play a red alert klaxon. I've not built the Enterprise, yet!

My first piece of work for Pimoroni talks about the new Badgeware range. Badger, Tufty, and Blinky may sound like cartoon characters, but they are the new RP2350 powered boards. Badger is e-paper, Tufty is an IPS LCD, and Blinky is 872 bright white LEDs.

A HP Elitedesk mini PC running CachyOS Linux.
Today I installed #CachyOS #Linux on to an HP EliteDesk 800 mini desktop. It has 8GB of RAM and a 6th gen Intel Core i5 CPU. I have to say that it runs really well. I'll be tinkering with this for a few days over Easter.
An ArgonOneUP Raspberry Pi laptop running TwisterOS. The desk is very messy.
My ArgonOneUP Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 powered laptop now runs TwisterOS and I am very impressed! I should do a video on this.
Today is my last day at Tom's Hardware. It has been a great experience. I've learnt so much from my colleagues and with their help we've created some great content. From how to read resistors to detailed Raspberry Pi features and tutorials. The Pi Cast show was my baby. I am hopeful to resurrect it.
A messy desk as I repair a vacuum cleaner with my new LTT screwdrivers.
My portable vacuum cleaner has died... Again. Breaking out some new tools to have a tinker. LTT / LMG has sent me pretty much all of its screwdrivers for review on bigl.es They've got no input on the review and I turned down any form of payment. Looking forward to fixing stuff and reporting to you.
Years of me asking you questions, and now we formalise it into my job description. :D
Thanks mate :)
It has been a long time mate. I hope that you are well. Always up for a chat :)
Shiver me timbers!!!
After nearly six years at Tom's Hardware I am heading off for new horizons!
Pimoroni, purveyors of maker toys, tools and kits has added me to its crew!
From April 1st I will be Pimoroni's Content Editor. Creating content to inpsire everyone to be a maker!

You are quite correct :)
A Raspberry Pi we server lays atop my DIY network storage device.
Powering a Raspberry Pi 1 web server using the USB port on my DIY NAS build. Yeah, I'm scared too :) Hope to reveal more over the next week.
Another good sleep and coffee :) I'm getting back into my routine!
Thanks very much.
Also, many thanks for all of your comments and wishes. I appreciate all of you.
Had my first night of "proper" sleep since the op. 6 hours of full un-interrupted sleep. I've spent the last week with post-op pain which woke me up, and needing the loo every couple of hours.
I've also had my first coffee in over a week. Ok, it was instant, but it was better than no coffee.
It's been a few days since my operation. I am recovering well. I've got four new holes in my stomach. The largest of which is right at my belly button and it aches when I move. Eating and drinking OK, moving around to keep mobile and doing what MrsP tells me to do. It'll be a few weeks, but I am OK.
