The Mad Carpenter: tech hacker
Ok, so I've been geeking on tech-hack all night, and I've been reminded of something I've wanted to do for months. I bought an old camera in a charity shop, and was devastated when I found that they no longer made film for it. Hours of searching on...
Tech-hacking, a marvellous source of inspiration
I've been geeking all evening over at some weird blogs based on people who like to tech hack, and tinker with things. I'm watching a video right now about an elliptical trainer/bike cross. You use an elliptical trainer motion to propel the back wheel, so you're...
The 19th
Received money today, and my family came over to see the new house. So it's been a nice relaxed day. And the 204 euros from the dole came in very handy. I introduced my brother the other day, and since the old boy is so often working in England and Wales, he doesn't...
What did I do today? Nothing
But tomorrow my family is visiting the new house, and I'll be getting things. So tomorrow shall be productive. Onward, to a more productive tomorrow. I've had some whiskey to drink, I'm a little tipsy and babbling to Mary (picture forthcoming) about my family. Had the...
Fix it day
If I look contented in this picture, it's with good reason. I love doing things, especially handyman sort of things, so today, after getting back from collecting some money from the government; which had been lying in the post office since last Thursday, and no one...
What a difference a Day made…
I showered, shaved, and discovered Brylcreem. Once again, going off to the government to ask for the money that I should already be receiving. Pain... in... the arse. And I feel like a million dollars. What a difference a day made...
The Day after Valentine’s day
....And nothing has changed. I love my girlfriend more than ever. The day had very little bearing on it. Here's today's picture.
Valentine’s day
I have wine, nuts to you, here's today's picture, I'll check in with a hangover tomorrow. Stupid bloody formatting.
Friday the 13th, audience participation
I got a reply in reference to my request for readers costume photos! So now I bring you a Friday the 13th post dedicated to all those people out there following me in my ridiculous exploits. Nicely done folks. More pictures after the Jump Lego men?! That is made of...
Participation Friday, number 1
A merry Friday the 13th to one and all. Now, I've called this post participation Friday, because I want each and every one of my readers to take a picture of themselves, upload it somewhere, as detailed in yesterday's post, and then send me the Link. Any pictures that...
Vivitar: Vivicam 3188
I think I've sorted the flash problem. I can't be sure though, because I'm now blind. ...It's better than what I had before right? Right? Guys, where did you go? ...Can't see jackshit.
February 12th
Greetings and welcome to another day with the mad carpenter. Yes I know that carpentry posts are a bit thin on the ground, but funds are tight and most of the money I have evaporates in my hands. I cooked an awesome dinner tonight: meatballs and sausage with naan...
