Merry Christmas 1988
The very first Garf Technology Christmas card, 1988
Hardly the prettiest card ever made, but it had a sort of simplistic purity. Well, that’s our excuse and we’re sticking to it! 🙂

I’m ashamed to admit that I managed to drop my camera c/w my favourite 14mm-150mm Tamron super-zoom lens yesterday. I failed to secure the camera correctly to the tripod and it fell crashing to the ground, lens-first. Fortunately the camera, a tiny µ4/3 Lumix DMC-GX7, seemed unharmed. Even more fortunate, I generally I use those…
It’s a beautiful spring day here in south east Hampshire. And it’s dead quiet thanks to the Coronavirus lockdown. And the northern sky that normally liberally criss-crossed with vapour trails is a perfect clear sky blue, with no aircraft within 50 km or more.
I have always rather enjoyed plugging test equipment into a PC and capturing the readings. Way back in my early days of using GNU/Linux I had a lot of fun with a program called QtDMM. I still have my old ÂŁ15 bargain-bin Tenma 72-6870 which worked almost flawlessly with QtDMM on Ubuntu, back in 2008….
A few snaps of the Isle of Grain off the coast of Kent, south-east England. It’s not actually an island any more and forms part of the Hoo peninsula. The the area is mostly marshland and is an important habitat for a number of wild wetland birds.
I was invited to attend one of Taran Microsystems Caterham 7 race days. Today we were at Bedford Aerodrome. My kid brother joined me for the day as we drove up there in a new MGF roadster.
Spent the day wandering around Mui Wo, on Lantau, Hong Kong.
