I have brought the old blog back to life.

The original posts have been recovered from archives and restored here as best as I can manage. Some of the formatting, images, and links may still show their age, but the important part is that the old project notes are available again instead of being lost in backups and Wayback Machine snapshots.

It has been nearly fifteen years since the last proper post. A lot happened in that gap, and the biggest reason the blog went quiet is a good one: starting a family filled the missing years. The projects did not entirely stop, but writing about them certainly did.

I have missed having a place to document the things I am building, repairing, learning, and occasionally overcomplicating. There are plenty of ideas and unfinished projects I want to write up, from workshop jobs and old machinery through to electronics, software, automation, and whatever else ends up on the bench.

So this is not a clean start so much as a continuation. The old posts are back, the blog is running again, and I plan to keep adding to it from here.
