As a result of the hurricane, at least one of the cats has decided to seek refuge in the hung ceiling of the basement. The wind is blowing, but as of right now there is nothing tremendously interesting going on – just rain and wind and we still have power. It’s flickered a bit, but [...]

That I’m going through old emails, catching up on my reading. A lot of it includes “things about which I should blog”, so expect to see a bunch. Growing up, I had a Tandy 1000TX. It was a good machine, in many ways a lot better than the actual IBM machines – the video had [...]

My new video card have a sticker with a large-breasted narrow waisted computer generated woman on it? Are these the only chicks gaming wankers get? Further, it’s not like you see it – it’s inside the computer!

So, the iMacQuarium is done, and now has an inhabitant – Woz the fish. We’ve since added a heater and a bit of terrain. I’ll take pictures once we route the wires correctly for it. However, in order to do so, we need to empty out most of the water, and we don’t want to [...]

After many years of exclusively buying Seagate drives, I convinced myself that all current hard disk manufacturers are basically of the same quality. Therefore, I should be shopping on specs and price, not brand. As such, I bought a 1TB Western Digital drive. [...]

So, this guy noticed something I noticed some years ago – that MS doesn’t allow the full amount of memory addressable by hardware to be available under Windows. Now, he basically says that he believes that MS is doing it for license reasons. He misses one serious supporting point: they do this with the 64 [...]

So, I’m hitting this odd dichotomy, which I don’t understand. Of course, there’s Arduino, which is a nice little embedded micro which has analog and digital I/O’s. Decent, functional, basically bare metal. As a minor step up, Freescale is doing these tower systems, which are kind of a step up – beefier CPU, etc. The [...]

Student Arrested for Modifying Consoles – This guy didn’t copy any games (at least, the article doesn’t say he did), thus, he didn’t commit any copyright infringement. This can be used for playing pirated games, but it can also be used for playing homebrew games, or running “unauthorized software” (like Linux). In case it is [...]

So, when I find interesting things, I email myself to blog about them. Many of these are actually months old, and some of them are worth commenting on, and some of them are not. Enjoy: Severed Fifth – Jono Bacon’s solo metal project. I’ve not listened to the album, but the idea is interesting. Matt [...]
