I am slightly more intrigued and confused by the socket setup mounted to the wall…
I think you should plug it in, brighten it up a bit.
Trippy!
And what Audiobook currently?
“Timeline” by Michael Crichton
Sadly the proper outlets are too far away for that
They were mounted there by my dad when I moved to this apartment, he wanted me to have a proper hobby workbench, with plenty of outlets.
This space is in a walk in closet, which I have used for storage of rum and other alcohol.
I have a large collection of alcohol but hardly ever drink, so I bought a small Billy bookcase as a bar shelf and moved the bottles away, to prepare the space for hobby use, if you checkout my post history you will find a rant about tech and my reasons for clearing this space, in short I have decided on a project for 2026, building a Z scale model railway in a suitcase.
I have never done anything like that before but felt like giving it a go.
I am just waiting for my finances to stabilize after christmas and an expensive January before I start, so I just started using the space for this.
l read the book decades ago as it came out and still have some vivid images in my head of the described middle ages environment.
Given that I usually forget the detailed contents of books I read after some weeks already, it means it must have been pretty good! :-)
It has been really good, yeah.
I bought it and Airframe by the same author, and I had to drop Airframe as I found the general premise of the book too incorrect.
To avoid spoilers I won’t go into detail of the specific issues I had with it.
Before that I listened through Neuromancer and Dune.
Never read Dune, but Neuromancer was one of the first SF-books ever that I got to read, back in the late 80s.
Needless to say that it adequately blew my mind…
Gay :)
Oooh, so pretty! Also, the cable management and organized tools look great, lol.
Dune is a weird story mixing sci-fi, fantasy and religion, it isn’t my favorite sci-fi work, but it is a great work.
Neuromancer, the environment is fantastic, brilliant, but never got into the story.
How is the quality of the Brand “Clementoni”? My wife swears on Ravensburger but they’re overpriced and I found Clementoni as an alternative but haven’t ordered anything yet.
As you seem not to be frightened by large books and also seem to like books with historic setting before scientific background, I would strongly recommend you the “Baroque” cycle by Neal Stephenson.
Not sure if there is a good audiobook version of it though…
Interesting, thank you!
This is the fist puzzle I have bought in decades.
So far it seems pretty good.
Those colors are a bit vibrant… Maybe too vibrant…
Jokes aside it looks very cool! Great activity
