Modern Day Old School?
I blitzed my way through any protection system I could lay my hands on, we had everything from Speedlock, Appleby, Bespoke, Turbo Loaders, Musical Loaders and the general gaming community wanted games transferred from cheaper cassettes to disks. It didn't take long before I developed a number of automated tools for cracking back in the day.
Less of a Yeti… First World Problems…
How many of us are waiting for a hair appointment, whilst rocking the Barney Rubble look? What's different since the easing of lockdown? Here's my experience from today...
D-Day 2020
It's 2020 and we're in lockdown akin to something from 1665 and the Bubonic Plague. Now restrictions are easing, what experience are you to expect from your Dentist?

Are You Shearing?
Example of Sheep Shearing on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Amazing experience we had at Paul's Place Wildlife Sanctuary, If you're into wildlife conservation then add this to your places to visit.

Fast Car
A life of corporate servitude took over and I rarely picked the guitar up since 2000, it's very rare I do as I become frustrated that the muscle memory faded and the chords to songs are lost somewhere in the old noodle.
Lockdown Up-Lifting Enchiladas
... with the lockdown restrictions easing somewhat allowing friends/family to bubble, it seemed like a good time for friends to visit whom I'd not seen since lockdown began. It was either that or join the gazillions on Bournemouth Beach!
