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

Read about it here.

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.

If you have a faithful Acorn Risc PC kicking around you might have found that the rubber feet on the bottom of the case have started to crumble, like mine:

In some cases the rubber feet can even liquefy and leave you with a wonky computer sitting in a pool of grey goo.

You’ll be pleased to know that you can lever off the old ones and replace them with a new set of Bumpons (that’s what they’re called) from 3M.

PrivateEye 3.01 is now available. This includes a fix for filing systems which don’t provide predictable sequence numbers. Previously using Page Up or Page Down to flip between images when using a filing system such as FAT32FS could bring them up in an unexpected order. PrivateEye now rescans the directory on each flip to find the previous or next image as requested.

Since it’s a minor fix I’ve not updated the PDF manual.
