A while ago I wrote a system for doing timetables for heritage trams. Then I broke it. Finally I’ve fixed it!

M5Knife – A Pocket Toolkit for the M5Stack Cardputer Adv
I’ve been working on a little project for the M5Stack Cardputer Adv, and it’s reached the point where I’m happy to make it publicly available.
It’s called M5Knife, and the idea is straightforward: turn the Cardputer into a useful, self-contained collection of utilities, rather than dedicating it to one particular job.
Think of it as a sort of digital Swiss Army knife. Hence the name.

My ZX Spectrum Raspberry Pi Build
So, I decided to build a Pi based ZX Spectrum emulator, inside a ZX Spectrum case. Celebrating 40 years of the Spectrum and all that…
Preston Dock Engine Shed – First Test
First test version of my card kit of the Preston Dock Engine Shed, just to see if it is feasible.
Preston Dock Engine Shed – Model Project
Down on the old Preston Dock site there is an unusual little engine shed, which was built for Preston Borough Council (long before they became City) in 1985. In 1986 it won The Brick Development Association’s Structural Brickwork Award. It looks like this:
Timetable Project
Some years ago, I decided that I wasn’t completely happy with having to carry printed timetables, or having to scroll though big PDF files while chasing Trams on my visits to the Blackpool Tramway.
I figured that it would be better to be able to access the timetables on my phone. As I was incapable of creating Apps for both the Android and iPhone platforms (seriously, have you seen what you have to do to become a developer for iOS?), I decided to do it as a mobile-friendly formatted web page. How hard could it be?
