Sorry I didn't toot from #RetroFest2025 at the weekend. Even if I had Mastodon on my phone, things were way too busy to have kept up with social media anyway.

Had a fantastic time. My stall had the RC2014 Mini II Picasso kits confusing everybody. I was also using @Wintermute_BBS TMSnake game to lure people in (although I think I was being trolled with the high score!)

Lots of great people there, and some very inspirational conversations with a lot of them. Some wonderful exhibits too. Sadly I didn't get many photos, but I couldn't help buy make a visual pun on one of them.

Can't wait for the RetroFest sister event in Cambridge in November.

I also could not help myself and bought another Z80 while I was there. This will look fantastic mounted on the wall in RC2014 Towers when I move in.

Mike is sold out of Z80 at the moment, but has a variety of other vintage chip art available and will have the Z80 back in stock again soon. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GeekyArtByMike

Now that RetroFest is over, it is time to finally move in to #RC2014Towers. This isn't a 5 minute job as I have been building up 10 years of clutter in my current office. Made good progress today though and managed to get the big bookcase and last desk set up in there. Still got a lot more to do over the rest of the week, but I should be fully moved in in time to start shipping again next Monday.
