I had a dream last night that I made some modifications to my submersible pc - but when testing, it filled with water and I had to rush around trying to find something to flush it with but to no avail. 😅 Then I woke up so I don't know if it was a happy ending.

Made a little moss garden this morning ^^, try one yourself, it's fun! You just need a cheap plastic tray with a layer of pebbles on the bottom, some soil, and then you can pick and choose whatever mosses you can find outside. Enjoy!

Just had an email from YouTube saying that I'm no longer going to be a 'verified' channel! Going to appeal but it could be very bad if they don't reinstate it - I guess 1.5m subscribers and a very specific viewer and channel identity isn't good enough for them :( @YTCreators

So, I'm pretty depressed at the moment. The project I've been working on all this time is finally complete, and so is the edit. Was about to render it... BUT... the hard drive died. Not joking. 5 months of work is now in the hands of a data recovery company. Need cheering up.

@elonmusk It's rather annoying. For those reading, lets say a random app costs £10. The gov gets £2 (VAT), Apple gets £3, and the developer gets the remaining £5. This £5 then gets taxed again as either corporation tax or income tax at varying rates depening on the employee. Crazy.
