19/7/2026 update

Okay, so a lot's been happening in my life, but now I've had the chance to upgrade to a later version of Concrete, and I'll see how this version fares compared to the earlier one.

I still miss the days of manually editing HTML / PHP files..

16/3/2025 update

I'm currently looking to replace the existing website with something else - which is why I've not been updating it as regularly as I would've liked. For example, I've done tons of work on the CNC Mk5 milling machine, but Concrete 5 isn't really making it easy for me to do this...

Historic list of entries

This should be a rough order of when they had been originally created - although while I've tried to maintain the dates as best as I could, the times I've not worried too much about!

Some of the descriptions are a little short; I will be extending these in due course.
