A few souls will have seen these before, some in the flesh, but I thought I would include here them as I'm a bit of a completist ...
Ramblings of A Chronopirate, Inventor, Maker of Things and Creator of Nefarious Devices. Steampunk Mad Scientist Extraordinaire and All Round Oddfellow. Atoms Wrangled, Exotic Rays Projected and Cosmic Horrors Provoked While you Wait. No Job Too Weird.

Ah, you're still here? Excellent. Let's begin...
My Name is Hektor Plasm, and I am a Chronopirate and Temporal Artisan.
What does that mean?
Aha, tricky... basically, Chronopirates plunder the seas of time and space, and retrieve things... It's all above board, probably.
It's a bit of a lucky dip really, like fishing around in the murk at the bottom of a pool- you can never tell what might turn up...
The past and the future are rather tangled, and sometimes an excursion* doesn't turn up a tangible artefact at all, more of just an impression, or with luck, an image- of something. That's where the Temporal Artisans come in. If we can't grab it- perhaps we can make it... and if someone wanted to swap it, say for money...
(* It is rare that a Chronopirate actually leaves the here and now; it is extremely hazardous, and so much safer to just plunge about in the timesoup and see what turns up in the spoon, if you will.)
Things like this, for example:-
Sadly, time flies like an arrow (fruit flies...etc, ahem) and so bringing back fully functional devices is unlikely- so no antimatter bombs or Lemurian Majic Stones, for example- at least not really dangerous ones...
If anyone asks- they're just props, ok?
I'm always open to ideas- drop me a line below if you are looking for something particular, and I'll see what can be done!

Greetings!
Welcome to the first of a series of occasional disjointed bubblings from a badly- maintained brain. Please pull up a lump of something, sit down and make yourself comfortable.
Ready? Never mind- here we go...
