Regenerative Blogging

I appreciate that this blog has been sparse on updates, but I'd like to give a few short messages about the future of this blog, and indeed my future:
  1. This blog needs a re-vamp - name's too hard to google, sounds like a 15-year-old came up with it (because he did) and I don't feel like I'm writing with as much finesse as I'd like.
  2. That house didn't come to me in the end - my friends live there, but the landlord (my pal's dad) didn't trust me on the grounds of my contractor job, pity...
  3. The SLA 3D Printer design is virtually ready - I've enquired about pricing for the laser cutting and it came to £400 inc VAT, add £160 for 3D printed parts (I need clamps for the Projector mount among other things) and you have an expense comparable to a cheap 4K monitor (yum).
  4. Talking of which, my PC needs new hardware - not just a new GPU, but both my monitors predate LED backlight technology and I generally need to invest in my PC to reinvigorate it.
I know, a pitifully short update, but I'm still thinking over which direction I can take my life such that I can take the time to make engaging, fully-featured posts without the slovenly tiredness that characterizes the end of a working day.  I need to bring my income in-line with my values and skills as much as possible and earn enough to afford tools and materials without working myself into the ground.
