    G4 iMac and its intense heat. A brainstorm.

    I fired up a couple of my lampshades and I am unable to reproduce the heat that Op is describing. I was being facetious more than anything in my prior post. Not terribly helpful I suppose BUT my Peanutbutter chocolate chip cookies are 100% FIRE. Delicious :) I am still very intrigued with...

    G4 iMac and its intense heat. A brainstorm.

    Huh, I wonder if a metal cookie sheet or sheetpan would have a similar effect lol ... or cast iron trivet or pan for that matter. Cheap way to test before dropping $25 on a monster heatsink :) Oh that reminds me. I need to bake some cookies.

    What did you do to your computer today?

    So over the past few days I have been trying to to figure out how to embed a macintosh chime mp3 montage I made. The file itself was tiny as far as audio files go - maybe 400k? Making it took all of maybe 5 minutes? - easily accomplished with free Clideo audio merger. Within those 5 minutes, I...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Haha, that's pretty funny :) My middle kiddo about 4 years ago was whacking on the keyboard of one of my intel macbooks and somehow turned half the keyboard off LOL. This was in a brand new to me operating system - ElementaryOS that I was demoing for the first time, so I had zero idea how to...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I had a few sites on geocities back in the late 90s that I built over 56k lol. You’re not kidding a page like CW would ‘ve taken 15-20 minutes to load Lol! I do recall simple animated gifs like that - just a couple inching their way down to completion on 36.6-56k. In today’s day of high speed...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I think at some point I will add a page with all the old webring widgets I can find. Kind of like this place except with WR widgets. There was a site I made my way to that had a bunch of them but for the life of me I can't recall where that was lol. I should have bookmarked it - Derp. Anyways...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Well, AT&T fiber went down over night with expected fix by tomorrow morning so the kids and I will be having fun like it’s 1985. I doubt ATT will get back up until then so we’ll see how the kids handle zero Idevices haha. I think I’ll break out my nes and show them the coveted cartridge blowing...

    G4 iMac and its intense heat. A brainstorm.

    That's a really great idea actually. As long as its not bigger than the PATA cable, you could build up the case with 3d printed mounts for a thin fan that come off the circular surround and not lose the functionality of your cdrom. Awesome idea :) I would use some rainbow colored PETG (if...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Worked on my website a bit this afternoon. Added some text boxes, added some newer videos and figured out how to embed a short video. For some reason, the short link which is provided for embedding, that linke has a /shorts/ in it (like youtube.com/blach blah blah/shorts/blah blah blah ). This...

    G4 iMac and its intense heat. A brainstorm.

    I’m If it were me I think I’d approach this from outside. I’d 3D print a circular case/base that the imacg4 would sit on and would house a couple thin profile fans that would blow up on the base of the imacg4. Similar to what a laptop cooler does but is round effectively. You could power either...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I built myself a little retro tech website a few years ago on the neocities platform. I took some html around 1998-99 but didn’t really do much with it after that. I realized quickly that my html wheelhouse leaked out my nose while asleep over the following decades lol. Thankfully there’s many...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I've found myself mostly in Leopard on my a1047 so I decided to push off the Tiger partition to an external FW drive so I did that and expanded the Leopard partition to the entire 120GB disk. I also spent the better part of today in between life tasks ripping CDs that are absent from my NAS to...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I updated PowerFox PPC beta with UXPEP & gave it a spin - initial impressions is not bad at all. I was going to install ShogoMAD on my os9 QS but I am really tired, so will have to put that off until another day lol. I wish it was released for OSX. Oh well, dems da breaks ;) I'll get to that...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Finished filling up the carousel and spread sheet. As I add CDs, if any of them are missing from my music library on my NAS, I take the time to rip the CD to my NAS before adding it to the carousel. Some of these CDs are old TOTC burns themselves, so take quite a while to capture a quality...

    Official Tinker Different Poll: Board Size Reduction

    I certainly trust our board and their intentions as only being the best for everyone. I would however like to see/hear a more granular argument from our board as to why they deem the reduction necessary or beneficial. I believe I understand the rationale behind the proposition but as is evident...
