So not a lot been published here my March project was a close success with Linux running on a very old laptop but I chose poorly and the Linux I decided on needed more power. In April I changed jobs and have been busy but still figuring out projects.

Got my February project finished.
I now have a playable arcade system made from salvaged parts.

The system is a Core 2 duo processor running at 2.93GHz
2 GB of RAM
750GB of hard dive space spread across 3 drives
An HP 19" 4:3 monitor.

Currently it runs NES, SNES, N64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum, Playstation and MAME for the arcade games.

Of the 50000 games it says it has there is possibly 25000 that will be playable, but that is a whole other project getting them sorted.

The joys of learning a new programming language, this time its Python. So far it seems a lot like C so hopefully not to much to get used to.
