Award winning bean-to-bar chocolate maker, writer, consultant & NPD chef.
My book 'Chocolate' published by DK / Random House is available in 13 languages from all good booksellers and online monopolies.
I tend to post an exciting mix of chocolate and vintage computer nonsense.
Back when I had the shop, I used to run one-on-one Bean To Bar Chocolate making workshops, where you could learn the process of chocolate making from scratch in a single day.
Well Iām bringing the workshops back, this time from my own home in St Albans!
These workshops are designed to give you a foundational knowledge of chocolate making on a small scale.
More details below. Let me know if you want to come & learn how to make chocolate from scratch!
@KateMinervaHarris @dev_ric I'd always recommend finding your local bean-to-bar maker and seeing what they have. There's thousands of small makers now, so it's difficult to recommend without knowing a bit more.
@KateMinervaHarris @dev_ric Everyone should buy more chocolate. Here's the state of my stash a few years ago, so I definitely need to stock up again!
@schokolade I should probably eat some rather than just keeping it in a box. That Greneda bar is from 2007! š
It's a bank holiday here so I've been organising my #beantobar #chocolate stash. What else is there to do? š«
Facebook memories reminded me of my foray into app development 12 years ago. This giant rotating hand that points to your house or the nearest station when you're too drunk to use a map.
Cannot think why I never made it as a tech billionaire.
I was told I have too many keyboards on my desk. I disagree. There's room for at least 3 more.

Gosh. I was on Demon back then. https://mastodon.social/@domr/112960342662070448
For the old nerds in the audience, here's me in 1997 going round the Demon Internet offices asking people what their job was. Note the CRTs and tasteful Hanson poster!
@RetroWizzard Amazing. A little easier to source than a Max Vic!
@RetroWizzard This lets you use a standard VIC-II in a Max??
@ahnlak Most likely black keys. White keyboards came later (same time as flat cases) and were rare in bread bin cases.
Symbols on top was a typical Commodore cost-reduction thing!
Towards the end, they would literally just take whatever parts they could find and assemble them, so there were some odd combinations.
@ahnlak I prefer the 'breadbin' ones too. Although I do like the blue one because I painted it myself and it has a backlit mechanical keyboard!
Ever have one of those days when you just can't decide what colour to wear?

@dev_ric Haha, same. Thankfully, they are all "having fun" computers rather than "get stuff done" computers, so it's not a big issue
Finally I can play Doom and Doom II at the same time.
@dhinojosa Ha, yeah that's what I've heard. Also I think Boeing use them to design their planes.
