I’ve updated the site a few times since my last front-page blog post. So what’s happened lately?

• Art! The Sunrise Set is a collection of, presently, seven drawings of sunlit scenes in a geometric vector style. If you like them, you can download them as 1024x1024-pixel resolution PNGs.

• Wallpaper! I’ve added a new page with chamfered and embossed variations on the “modern” Acorn logo. They are based on the Acorn logo I recreated for my Risc PC in Blender. You can download as 1920x1200-pixel resolution PNGs, or versions tuned for the Archimedes 256-colour palette at 800x600 pixels. You can grab the source files too, if you use Affinity Designer.

• Tweaks! My fantasy Acorn branded hard disc in a diagram type style image thing got tweaked a bit with changed colours and other bits.

• Diagrams! At one point I was working on an article about how to properly wire up Risc PC IDE cables, but drawing a diagram of Risc PC innards ended up being more interesting. I spent some hours drawing two diagrams and never finished the article itself… The two hard disc diagrams are added to the bottom of the hard disc page.

I’ve been learning how to model 3D objects in Blender by recreating the Acorn Risc PC case.

Last year I built a custom LEGO® wedding arch set to celebrate a friends’ wedding.

Here’s an article all about it.

Finally after many years of work I’ve gotten around to writing all about my The Great Escape reverse engineering project. There’s a whole new section on the site.
