Well done!
There is market demand, but at what price? Hardware is a thin margin product.
Is it a few off the shelf parts placed in a custom CNCed block of aluminium or is it engineered, from the ground up, to suit purpose.
Getting an idea of what would people pay for such a product is step one.
5k?
Simple and strait forward is always a winner.
Cockfosters was proper despair, and Mordor (or Morden) well... don't.
What took the cake though was flying back and arriving at Stansted after midnight and waiting for the 5am escape back home in the depths of winter.
London offered many memorable evenings for those silly enough to party in the city a while back.
Not drinking so much is probably a way to avoid the despair, but where is the fun in that?
Publishing your results makes you part of history. Respect.

I can say from experiencing, 20 mins in the freezer for a bare 3.5 or 2.5 HDD would give about 5 mins of "quick, find important stuff" time...

Two points of note: 1. Some pictures repeat, even in the same game?
2. Years get rounded down to the decade in some cases? "Frank Horvat via Horvatland. A couple in Avingon train station in the late 90s. 1999 - guessed. You were 10 years off"
"An antistatic fan made by NRD, of Grand Island, N.Y., contains 31,500 microcuries of polonium 210 — or, in theory, more than 10 lethal doses."

Look at your IDE, desktop, editor, OS, monitor, chair, etc. and see how you could improve it with new options. Tech or otherwise...
Is your desk a space of zen? Got a plant on your desk?
Days get shorter, winter gets colder, days blur together. Things change. Fortran was way easier... Pfff objects of objects to keep track of.
Remember what your core strengths are... Where the true wisdom is. And always check back to the requirements document.
You have a detailed one right?
Break what you are required to do into smaller components, but from the other side of the problem, systematically. I find by going smaller and smaller I eventually find a manageable chunk that I can start with.
A rainbow attack on the sha512 can often deliver a fast result.
I have to go yell at a cloud now...
When will I become rich?
