Target-Earth Blog!

Here's the TargetEarth blog, it's mostly useless information with a few extremely niche tech posts…

Some useful shortcuts:

Video Game database - current database of my gaming systems and games
Tech stuff - network installers for Unix-like systems, old hardware, retro gaming etc.
Model making - scale model making, sci-fi, Gundam, things like that
Car stuff - rebuilds and projects
Personal projects - days out, DIY jobs, other unsorted stuff…

This meant being ruthless is wrapping cables together, routing them under and behind my desk and shelving and generally trying to hide plugs, sockets and wiring away. This, of course, means that getting access to plugs or power strips to physically turn equipment on or off is completely impractical.
