Investigations into colour theory and painting

One of my hobbies is miniature painting, it’s something I did a long time ago and found myself getting back into a year or so back. Now I am nowhere near an expert on this, but do like to work on techniques and ideas I see online and on the dreaded Youtube.

This page is a test, but might help. I originally was using this page to help me to try out new layout styles and techniques.

Home made Mulled Wine

What happens when you find a non standard monitor that you want to use?

I recently found a monitor on AliExpress that looked rather interesting as it was listed as an ultra wide 1920×480 screen, on the PC it was good to go, but on the Raspberry Pi it proved to be a bit harder than expected.
