What did you do to you 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 did not play well with <iframes>. For it to work, I had to change that to /embed/. Once this was done, the short would embed and function as expected. Interestingly, a normal longer form video includes the /embed/ in its address. Kinda weird but whatever haha. I also added a bb forum for nostalgia's sake which took all of two minutes literally. I had to use another free service that inculded unlimited hosting as my neocities account (also free lol) only supports static hosting. Anyways, had fun puting that together and cleaning up some bobs n bits I forgot to get to last time I was in it.

I'll share my retro site with you guys. Please don't laugh too much lol It is a work in progress. Anyways, having fun walking down memory lane with my website.

Hey, this is awesome!!!

Yesterday, I worked on a "dead" MacPro4,1 that was upgraded to 5,1. Could not get a boot chime or video out. Tried different drives, RAM assortments, different video cards. Still nothing. So I pulled the CPU tray (single) and removed the heatsink. I did a little cleaning of dust and since I had a couple spare LGA1366 processors laying around, I swapped in a 6 core/12 thread 3.3GHz Xeon. Applied thermal paste and installed the heatsink. It then booted up fine. I installed OCLP on the 2TB internal HDD and was able to boot 10.7 through Sonoma. Maybe it was just a bad/failed CPU.

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 technique. We’ll see I did get MX25.1 installed on my tower today (DL’d before the fiber went down) so very happy to have that up and running. Super fast & snappy smooth and I was able to install despite the lack of connectivity which was nice.
