    Kitchen demo & remodel

    I don't have one at the moment that I can photo but did start with one (I think wifey has it in her office). If I can dig it out, I will attach it. So the tile will go to the ceiling above the sink. I am puting two magnetic strips to hold/display my nice kitchen knives. Over the stainless prep...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Actually I’m using the cut out from the butcher block counter which has great contrast against a stainless prep table from my local restaurant supply. Being a chef/food service businessman for 25+ years, I have an affinity for stainless - easy to clean & wears like iron w/o the rust. I actually...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Finally got to the subway tile backsplash. This isn’t a terribly bad job but is slow going and very easy to make a huge mess, so having tarps taped off and all your meez in place is key to completing each section with relative speed and cleanly. In the past I’ve used tile adhesive that you...

    How were the PowerBook 1xx bags?

    Great idea for a tutorial thread. If it were me, I'd mash it up with a creative mid 80's thrash metal rocker theme because sewing in 2022 is totally metal \m/ \m/

    iMac G5 The ultimate Retro Gaming PC

    Suuure, It’s your kids Powermac G5 gaming station 🙂 I did similar with a 17” white intel iMac for my boys. Granted, it was more to transition them off my actual retro consoles and onto various retro 8bit & 16bit console emus. + it looks cool in their room. Of course my wife looks at me sideways...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    I can confirm this. I picked one up for a tenner a few years back as not working and this was the issue. Pulled it apart and re soldered the jack and all was well- easy, straight forward fix.

    Installing SSD in first gen. G5 (dual 2.0 GHz) - not booting

    Man, that is wild. Thank you for puting the data set together. Odd thing is that I have Netac 128gb drives in my pmg4 quicksilver & PMG5 a1117 running Sorbet & 10.5.8. How random that it does not work in your a1047 or the others you noted. I would have guessed otherwise. I should buy more of...

    Satanic Mac Club T-Shirt

    WTH. I go to buy a shirt and there are no fatty sizes? What sort of fat shaming hipster nonsense is this? and to think I was going to wear your shirt to the donut shop. Whatevs

    Satanic Mac Club T-Shirt

    I think Drake misspelled it. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be little satanimacs jumping out of a B&W of DOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

    Installing SSD in first gen. G5 (dual 2.0 GHz) - not booting

    Is your G5 the A1047 PCIX model? With the SATA SSD, maybe a compatibility issue or perhaps the SSD is bad? Sounds like the port works ok with a spinner on the end but when you stick the SSD on, it gets grumpy. I'd test the SSD in another box and see if it boots fine into the restored image of...

    New G4 Cube picked up as part of package deal with Studio CRT (ADC)

    I think I would have left mine broken just for ease of access :) Trying to get that thing off without breaking a tab seems like an almost impossible feat but I can see per wottles reply that you might be able to fish a piece of wire around the clip and then pull back on it enough to release it...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Hi there, thanks! I appreciate the compliments - my wife thinks as you do and shot down the wine cooler. Besides, while Im 6'4" and to me is a great use of space, she's a lot shorter than I so getting to it would be an issue for her. I do really like your point of it blocking natural light, so...

    ABQ Retro Computers May Meetup

    Haha, well I was just asking randomly like some awkward weirdo so entirely possible that you were busy doing other things while I was crushing the weird guy off the street bit. Anyhow, very cool box & thanks so much for hosting it! Also got some great help about my ailing 1702 monitor whose crt...

    iMac (24-inch Early 2008) Black (and White) Screen of Death After Software Changes

    A cheap $20 120gb SSD will get you up & running assuming the HDD is the culprit which it sounds like. IIRC these shipped with Leopard & run up to elcap. Anyhow, Leopard can be found as a free dmg online. Apple also released mountain lion & lion as free DLs as well so any of those on a flash...

    iMac (24-inch Early 2008) Black (and White) Screen of Death After Software Changes

    Certainly not quitting - pragmatic. IMO it is acting very similar to hdd failure - that drive & it’s cable are 15+ years old. The last 08 iMac I worked on had a janky hdd and would boot to unresponsive white and black backlit screens& a quick SSD upgrade fixed that, restored to a backup. You are...
