I solder stuff, like to code and play around with electronics. Also I play old video games, mostly MS-DOS on my 286 or 386 PC, sometimes on my SEGA Genesis/MegaDrive. I try to use real hardware wherever possible.

New videos posted roughly every weekend.

New video for channel members: Let's Code MS DOS 0x31: ANSI C Data Types
