    PowerBook G4 12in not updating to 10.4.11

    Huh, that's weird. I have 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 installed without issue on my 12". I wonder if Tiger updates to 10.4.11 fine on the spinner. Naturally, as the SSD is new, I'd suspect that. Kind of a pain to take it back out though. Assuming wonky ram is not the culprit, TDM from another FW mac...

    My Quicksilver 01 seems to flip its lid sometimes with 16:9 resolutions

    Man, that is weird. Is it possible that a monitor is too new? Anyhow, glad you got it working. Although I dont have a need for screen cap, HD60s seems like a handy thing to have around.

    Food borne illness starts in the home

    Yanno what I find crazy? -It's that annually in the US alone, Americans suffer 45-50 million cases of food borne illness a year. worse yet & tragically, around 3000-5000 of those people will die from it each year unnecessarily. The kicker is that over half (55%) of these cases stem not from...

    Favorite cooking method?

    Yeah, what are your favs & why? Braising - yeah man, low n' slow moist cooking crushes tough cuts of beast and I love it- especially around now when it gets cold and snowy and those early nights. Braising seals the deal for me. Grilling - Hot n fast med-high indirect dry heat though the summer...

    My Quicksilver 01 seems to flip its lid sometimes with 16:9 resolutions

    Is it the mac or the GPU that died? Does the QS work with another gpu? Another user on MR purchased a Ti4600 for his quicksilver and also had GUI and resolution issues ie: entire portions of the video image are caked with huge blocks, distorted colour tones and other unwanted artifcats at 720p...

    In tech stuff, what's a little thing that just...bothers you more than it should?

    Disappearing scroll bars. Annoying AF. :p Thankfully the feature can be disabled. Unending iOS app store credential requests also grind on the nerves a bit.

    Harpoon

    Never played it but will give it a shot. Love the big game boxes, so will keep an eye out for this one so I can add it to my small collection on the shelf. The first game I ever played on a computer was Legacy of the ancients for C64. Best Box art EVER! :-) Then after that, I spent forever...

    iMac G5 The ultimate Retro Gaming PC

    Nice vid. Your mic sounds a little bit muffled to me, like the top end is being cut off (Im thinking around 1-4khz range. Maybe where your mic is located?) Anyhow, fun vid. As I never really gamed on vintage apple stuff, my AIO retro gamer box preference lies in 1st gen Intel imacs as XP sp2...

    Attic dropped soffit air sealing

    Nice job. Those hot wire detectors are invaluable. I have one on my toolbelt. No one thinks about how destructive a 110 outlet can be until you witness an improperly grounded old AF, out of code box arch to a pocket knife and literally burn a hole clean through the blade like a welder. :oops: My...

    Board term limits?

    I understand the work flow & prioritization that had taken place to get this beast up & running. That is why I am bringing it up now. With a solidified board, It is a fitting time to address the duration of your indentured servitude to us 🙂

    Board term limits?

    If this is the case, then it is my opinion that it is the boards duty to codify this sentiment in rule and action. As I stated above, there are many ways to do this that can best fit this community, it's size etc. and can be ammended as the community grows and evolves. Another model that may...

    Board term limits?

    Well, I can tell you that the previous HOA that I was a part of had 71 units, some single owner, others dual ownership, so lets say a population of 140 folks (so extremely small) with instituted 4 year limits on the board. Different from govt terms in that it was not 4 years and you are out like...

    What are your favorite local microbreweries/distilleries/wineries??

    Gotta love the nanny state. Way to get in the way of entrepreneurial spirit. I have 5 gallons of a stout made with these extra fruity/floral European champagne yeasts in bombers getting good in my garage. I did not use much cascade hop, so am shooting for a smooth, malty, creamy stout with a...

    Favorite music style when cooking and when eating/drinking?

    I typically have jazz or traditional Christmas tunes playing at home (wife loves xmas tunes) from another room so it does not interfere with communication. When we get that rare occasion to go out, we frequent a few piano bars around town. Nice jazz at a low volume just for that reason -...
