Unaware of the Sainsbury's issues before I went out shopping earlier. Cash or chip-and-pin, no contactless, not a huge deal. One guy yelling at a cashier because he'd tried the wrong PIN too many times. 🤷‍♂️

I made some bootleg @65dos merch ahead of their Wild Light 10th Anniversary tour in September. They asked us to bring "pixel accessories" and I took that a bit too seriously! tindie.com/products/tomm_arc…

When I find the time to do some more soldering, I will put a handful of these up on my @tindie store.

Related fact: About 12 years ago, knowing nothing about electronics but with an idea in mind and keen to learn, I emailed @volpinprops about his Daft Punk helmet. He gave his time to answer my questions and I embarked on this journey.

Version 2 of the Chronometer is officially a go! Thanks to @PCBWayOfficial for providing these boards. I've got a lot of soldering to do!

Doge for some reason is showing up on Twitter and I can only assume this was supposed to be an April Fools joke that took 3 days to roll out because no one knows how the site works anymore
