so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, fun!
I'm still about 1400$ away from paying my electricity bill, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!

Reminder to remove batteries from vintage computers. This was (hopefully will be again) a Laser 128 EX/2. Trust me, your tools will thank you.

The new #BlueSCSI Wide SCA EVT board arrived today (and this time the PCB was the right color!)
Already working with the standard Ultra Wide firmware, and now I get to implement SCA SCSI ID detection.

Two weeks since I was sick with the flu and I'm finally feeling better. Still have a cough, but my breathing issues have cleared up, it's nice being able to go for a walk without needing my inhaler.

I have been haunted by Mow Ringworld for 25 years. You all know it, bargain basement CD based shovelware, marked down to $10, $5, 50c... 'free bird frightener!'.
The game we all saw, but never bought. Last week on a whim I bought an unopened copy on eBay. I resurrected my indigo iMac to play.
