    Stair upgrade from carpet to hardwood

    I bought treads on a sale a few years ago with the intent to tear out the gross carpeted stairs (three sets in this home). With some paternity leave burning away, I finally had the time to tackle this job. I started with the bottom set of five which I think look nice, so I’m excited to get the...

    Powerbook G4 ‚Antimony’ Software Restore

    Oops! :D All this time I thought you were from Germany. I was going to buy you a big German sized super beer next time I visit family there but I don't have any family in Sweden, just a fervent desire for Swedish pancakes. Thanks so much for taking a look :)

    [2023-11-11] - Tinker Different Board Meeting Minutes

    @jdmcs & board, I recommend a structure where the term is 4 years that cycles through all the positions. Y1 secretary Y2 Treasurer Y3 VP Y4 President In this way, the majority of the board is intact for initiatives that span multiple years and over all makes for a more cohesive & efficient...

    A new suggestion - Spot a Tink!

    Years late to this but I think this is a fantastic idea. What we do here is bigger than just TD. Cataloging what we run into elsewhere in one place here makes finding, navigating to, and reading up on cool modifications easier. I would love to see this idea incorporated into Tinker Different.

    PowerMac G4 gpu upgrade guide

    The first question to ask is what OS do you want to run - 9 or OSX? For 9, that would be the 9000 that may already be in your MDD or maybe a Ti4600 if you can find one. If you're running OSX, something like a ATI Fire GL x3 or X800/850 series can work. Over on MR forums, I recall alot of folks...

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    Having consumed (American style) coffees en masse for well over 40 years at this point, I've never acquired a taste for straight espresso along the way. The closest I get is an Americano. I am reserving final judgement until I make my yet to be paid for or planned trip to Italy & Europe but I'll...

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    Over the past year, I’ve moved from Gevalia to a local bean/roaster - New Mexico Traditional Piñon. This one is pretty smooth; a balanced medium body in character. I’ve been drinking this one pretty much daily.

    What I've received as of late...

    Earlier beige Mac stuff, while I played around with 7-8 and MacPaint at computer stores in the 90s, my parents would not pay the Apple tax, so I grew up with my trusty and beloved DOS 2.6 C64, then into a win95 486 around 94, so had little perceived need thus desire for beige Macs. My first...

    What I've received as of late...

    I see the Titanium design language in pretty much all of the new Macs (and other brands as well). The Titanium is like the great great grand dad of portable design from iPhone 4 to 14-15 to the new MBP. I see the Titanium in so much of what we consider forward thinking, functional design today...

    What I've received as of late...

    Always wanted a tibook. I remember when those came out. Such a beautiful portable but complete unobtanium at the time financially speaking.

    Want to do a memory upgrade on my 04 G4 AL 1.25GHZ.

    If money is not a limiting factor, I’d max the ram simply because I can. You may want to run an OS other than Tiger in the future That could benefit from the increase of 1.2 to 2gb. Also, these boxes are old with grumpy bits and not the easiest to work on, so opening it up just once to do all...

    Favorite cooking method?

    Forgot to mention. I had one of my quart mason jars crack in my water bath canner dispersing its contents into the bath. Made a big mess lol but got it cleaned up. That is the first time in decades of canning where I’ve had that happen. I’ve had lids fail but never the glass itself. This has...

    Favorite cooking method?

    I just finished making and canning a grip of cinnamon apple sauce. The apples were a variety from my wife’s aunts apple orchard up north - mostly Macintosh, Golden delicious, Gala and some other one I could not identify - about 30 pounds worth before processing. Cooling the jars as we speak and...

    10-14-23 total/annular eclipse

    I was lucky enough to live right under the total eclipse pathway, so snapped a few pics with the lowest tech method available - my iPhone and some cardboard solar viewers lol. Here’s my favorite. Who knew Sauron was real. 😅 This is another fun one. Believe it or not, this photo was at total...

    Picked up a RX580 for my gaming box

    When my Radeon R7 M440 died years ago, I had to pull out my old 1gb Radeon HD6790 and have been using that for the past 3 years relegated to primarily TOTC gaming ie: UT/Q3A/Q2/COD/2/HL/2/CSS/Feart etc. Granted Ive been pretty busy so not much time to game in earnest, so not much loss there I...

    TinkerDifferent Game Server - Now testing!

    Ran into a little UT bug when joining the TD server - DE version mismatch. If any of you run into this, the fix is easy. Just go to your installation directory Unrealtournament>Systems and delete the existing de.u file. When you join the server, the file is replaced, so pretty harmless.
