    What did you do to your computer today?

    It's nothing too special, but it's in an awesome Lian Li case from back in the day that I've always wanted, so there's that. It's on a table that's entirely too small, I'm missing a proper CRT, and the Quadro 1800 that's in there is obviously awful for gaming. My Model M is nice, though the...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    The tower sits in a little base around it that's supposed to reduce the chance of tipping, saw them every now and then when these were still current tech. I've got a Pentium 4 HT 630, so a later Prescott chip with hyperthreading on an Asus P5GDC-V motherboard. As far as mods go for the Dell...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Oh, you've got the fancy base for it! I just passed on a Dimension 3200, kinda wish I'd have kept it, but I already have a better Pentium 4 build, just needs a good GPU.

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I've been doing a few things here and there with the G3 iMac, but I think I've hit my limit on what I can do with it, mainly stemming from the lack of a better graphics accelerator or discreet video card, but it's my only CRT!

    Hardware/software you have that no one talks about.

    Not that anyone is looking for it, but I have a bag full of the AOL discs from the late 90s to mid 2000s. I also found the user manuals from a Palm Pilot from 2000 and I have no idea where the Palm Pilot itself got off to... Might have been one of those things we never got back from storage...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I took my old i7-2600K with a 4.5 GHz overclock and a 980 Ti, put Arch on it, and proceeded to make it my son's first PC of his own. He's only 4, but he's getting thrown straight into it! The Plasma desktop is intuitive enough for him to figure out how to start up Minecraft, and how to lock he...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    This was our behemoth that we'd had since the '90s. Sold it at a yard sale in 2010 and have regretted it ever since. It was the perfect TV, but I was 19 and my parents wanted to upgrade and I didn't have the room for it.

    Still working on the G3 with 10.4.11; did have to sign back in, however.

    VCF Pacific Northwest 2026

    I'd love to make it out there next year! I won't have anything to bring, most likely, but it'll be a good time stop in to see family over in Olympia.

    Computer names.

    Ouch! That's rough! Always only ever been a spectator when it comes to tabletop, never had the time to get into it.

    Computer names.

    I've typically named my custom-built machines after things from video games, like my 10900K build is *Hyperion*, after one of the flagship battlecruisers in StarCraft, and this machine I'm on I've named *Nocturne* after the homeworld of the Salamanders in Warhammer 40K. Everything else typically...

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Just saw Sean's (AR) video on it last night. Too bad I don't have anything above a G3! Hoping I can change that soon.

    Oh yeah, they always find ways to do something! Hahaha. This is on 9.2

    What did you do to your computer today?

    My son has somehow turned on the cursor highlight (the black, obnoxious square around it) and I for the life of me can't remember how to turn it off. He's managed to do this in two programs!

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Sat down at the G3 and just decided to put together a classic HTML 1.0/2.0 page, just to keep the old school HTML fresh in my brain.

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Haven't done a thing the last few days as I've been focused on hopefully getting through the hiring process and getting back to work. Storm rolling in, so I'm going to dim the lights and play more Diablo II on the iMac; ThinkPad 770 has been put away again for now as I'm too heartbroken to mess...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    After discovering yesterday that the 770s hard drive appears to be dead as well, I've given up on doing anything with it for the time being. Makes me a little sad that things have given up the ghost, but it's a 28 year old machine with all original bits, so I guess it's to be expected. Beyond...

    Getting An Old MacBook Air & Installing Linux (Ubuntu? Mint?). Any Advice?

    I actually came across an install disc I made for Ubuntu 8.10 back in 2009... need to find something I can toss it on for grins.

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I've been fighting in vain to reinstall either XP or 98SE on my ThinkPad 770. The optical drive is fighting me every step of the way after working perfectly a few months back. Not sure what's changed. The drive itself is a Toshiba SD-C2002, which was used in a broad range of laptops back in the...
