Hello, welcome to the toastputer
Because of my friendly demeanour, my godlike talents as a sysadmin and my legendary sense of modesty, sometimes people ask me to host their stuff for them. Occasionally they give me some money to do this, and so it was necessary to create toastputer.net, the commercial arm of stocksy.co.uk.
Why toastputer? Well, I bought a mini-itx system on a board to play with, but couldn't find a suitable case. A 'Tesco Value' two-slice toaster was in the wrong place at the wrong time and it became my victim. The 'toastputer' was retired many years ago, but the name stuck.
