Spent last night playing #C&C3 multiplayer using #GameRanger, works really well, there did seem to be a tiny bit of lag, but nothing significant, software/services such as this can really breath life in to old games and allow players to keep playing each other.

A good incentive to keep fixing up some old computers.

For the past couple of months I needed different hardware to do things around my house. It was easier and logical to buy something cheap.

But now I'm slowly in a position where I will need a nail gun and chainsaw (and probably more for tinkering).

Time to select a system from a single company. And well that's not an easy task.

I can go from cheaper options like Parkside through middle systems like Bosh, Ryobi or go to more expensive ones that should work for me for years like Makita, Milwaukee or even Festool.

So this is the question what projects I want to do and where 😅

I wanted to build/restore bicycles at some point but that will require building things as buying things proper sander is not a cheap and easy option. Easier and much cheaper is to build one to get rid of any paint from the bicycle frame.

#tinkerers problems I guess 😅

Helen is hard at work on the updated Dragster. This track is only 5m.

"D2 Dragster completes 5 metre course in 1.89 seconds and stops within 1.2 metre."

I have asked if she would like to meet up over 1/2 term so we can test before the next Tinkerers meet on Sat 28th February

Just packing final items for the Tinkerers group tomorrow, I have two basic lego models one of a car, the other is a demo of a mecanical movement) but may be of interest. Looking forward to seeing Helen's new dragster.
