Sold one of these this week - an NFC keychain for your social media account.

Been playing around with NFC for a little while, doesn't seem there's much of a market for NFC stuff generally though.

Made my first proper flight in the new aircraft, sat down to lunch with my laptop right in front of this (mine is the second on the list.)

Love the little extra touches some airfields make.

Not sure on the cowl to be honest! The old plane:

After a whole year (almost to the day) since the Piper PA28 Arrow I co-owned was ground, I'm so happy to be able to say I own a share of a gorgeous example of an Arrow! Can't wait to make more flying memories in a great aircraft!

The mountains of mid-Wales after leaving Shobdon recently. Always a beautiful sight.

Another 2 solar panels added to my arrays, almost doubled the output!

New fibre line just activated, load balancing and single connection failure testing done.

Added a second provider after the second extended Trooli outage in 2 weeks. Shouldn't have to, but equally it's probably not a bad thing for me to have redundancy!

Feel like I have enough knowledge with CAD and 3D printing to get started on electronics projects.

Found a project box file and put a couple of holes in the lid for a ultrasound sensor. If I've got the size and spacing right, should be a perfect fit!

Looks like yet another opportunity to cancel a planned currency flight beckons - a cold front right over Cambridgeshire right when I have a plane booked, and Pessimistic Annie (Stansted) forecasting low cloud bases.

This is getting really boring now.

It always amuses me to watch my Tesla de-icing using Defrost mode. Reminds me of ghosts or something 😂

My product photography is definitely improving! Need to improve composition now - especially with props.

Potentially the shortest flight I've ever done - just 35 minutes from engine start to shutdown. But it got me in the air and there were some really pretty sights from the cloud/fog around.

British weather though royally sucks.

Launching a new product on Etsy - Scrabble tile keychains! #3dprinting

Just finished putting together a Scrabble tile keyring - do a test print and if it comes out well, do some others with different colour combinations, photograph and list on Etsy!

Made myself a nice little autocomplete component in VueJS. Wanted to have something in my code arsenal that didn't rely on a third party for maximum flexibility.

Seems like it came out okay 🙂 I'll have a closer look when I get back home.

There'll be a smaller version of this as a magnet, as I have self-adhesive magnets arriving today as well.

Need to tweak my button coasters from the other day - couple of issues with the test print.

Sometimes, it just doesn't work.

Just wish it had failed BEFORE I went to bed 😂 #3dprinting
