Blogs

Uh, ok?

Well, in order to be a cool kid like everybody else, I have a blog. Mind you, I didn't go out of my way to do this. I was already registered at Applefritter, and one of the neato features was a blog. So here mine is. Or at least until I get my POS server running, hosting my POS website, with an equally shitty blog.

black stripe needs a job...

...but what? i'm thinking along the lines of home automation--x-10 remote modules, using the pBook 170 as the brains of the outfit. i know that you can run x-10s off of system 7, but is it even really feasible? i'll take my question to the forums once i get the gumption to do it.

iMac goodness and other fun stuff.

Last weekend I was at ole S.E. and found an iMac that everyone claimed was "dead". Unabashed by the claims made by everyone there and lured by the $10 "get it off our pallets, please" price (actually they like Macs there, they sell for a better price...) I took it home.

Genius Bar

What the heck is a Genius Bar!? :?

Hooray

Finally I got my hands on a Laserwriter IIg motherboard. This thing is so much more useful than the old IINT board I had in there before, and I haven't even dug up my Ethernet transceiver yet.

First generation imac

I am in need of finding a first generation imac (it doesn't have to work...) to build a macquarium :ebc: . If you have any I am willing to pay a reasonable sum for it!

iPod Hacks

Hey, does anybody know about any interesting iPod hacks? I am already bored of my plain white 40GB iPod. I want interface, and external hacks.
TY! :macos:

More hardware...

I went shopping at ole Surplus Exchange on Sat. and ran across some nice guys. Alex, who is well know in there, introduced me to Jack. Jack offered me a Sun SBUS frame buffer for my SS1000 for just $5. He'ss got an SS1000 too, so he knows what it's like to own a ~100lbs. computer. :coolmac: I called him tonight to see about picking it up, and he offered me an IBM P70 (17" workstation monitor for RS/6000s, etc.) for another $5. Wow. Back on Sat. Alex offered me a *FREE* 20" Sun monitor.

Employed!

For the first time in over a year, I've finally got a job. My last one being such a dread (telemarketer), and having to deal with heavy bouts of depression keeping me down, I haven't really been very motivated to do much of anything for a long time.

Tea Support

Hey folks -

For anyone interested, yes I am working on the 'Fritter, it's just going rather slowly. This next issue will contain my Keynote article (absurdly dated by now), a Doc Webster article as always, a quick article on using stylesheets within a webpage, a review of Cory Doctorows "Eastern Standard Tribe", though mainly focussing on the license behind the book, and a review of the book "Mac Confidential 2.0" which I've just finished.
