I grew up in the 80s. A couple of gins in Vinted purchase has me living the life I wanted then. Mum wouldn't let me have them. So I bought them for myself.

I'm working with a group atm. They are in residence in a beautiful place in Sheffield. Every week, I'm surrounded by their energy and shelves full of beautiful ceramics made in a women's co-op in the Atlas Mountains. If you're in the city, go visit Nomad Maison.

We ran 10 PCs from that. And still had spare capacity.

I co-founded a media lab that opened in 2000. Run on recycled hardware and FOSS. It had a 2MB line WHICH WAS HUGE.
