ARCTIC RETRO COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONICS (formerly Ovesen.net)
This is a channel about different things that I do in my spare time. It's mostly about fixing old-school retro computers and electronics project, lots of Commodore stuff, but also a bit about app-development and 3d-printing.
I live in the city of Bodø, Norway, just north of the Arctic circle :)
