Shannon’s Motherboard Version 3

Shannon’s last motherboard pop[p]ed via ESD (we think) . Windows no longer works with it, with 30 second of uptime until BSOD (including with the install cd). Linux is rock solid stable. However, that doesn’t help her much, considering required software applications.
Thus, new fansy-shmantz motherboard, which kicks mine’s arse.

Ed’s Rat Problem

In stripping down the machine (under the assumption that the motherboard was toast), I found what appears to be rat feces deposited around the Amibios chip, and urine-induced oxidant on the SMC FDC37C669QF Multi/IO controller.

her high brow still shines tall and proud.

Fleetwood Mac Landslide

If anyone has a highquality (redbook would be great) copy of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Landslide’, please let me know. I need to get ahold of a copy.

Midi Buttons

Dave and I are (finally) beginning an indepth focus on modular midi controllers, designed primarily for controlling live video generation software. This project has sat idle way too long.

JD Tipout Scam

On 2004-11-07, at the end of my Sunday buffet shift, washing dishes at JDPranksters, I was pulled aside by one of the shift managers. She informed me that there have been several complaints from the (lazy, work-ethic-less) ladies (waitresses) up front, to the effect that I’m “too slow”. As a result I am currently pulled [...]

Alan’s Unified Wish List 2004

Taking a cue from Brent, I’ve composed a Unified Wishlist.

Super Mario Quilt

As seen on Metafilter, Emily has undertaken production of a Super Mario Quilt! Quite a mar’vlous piece of work this is: I think Jetpack would like this.
