Unfortunately Finland's attempts have not been as good. So it was a schadenfreude moment when one of their top skier got a suspension for allegedly using a lip balm that contained banned steroid. The lip balm in picture does not contain that steroid went skiing today and can confirm that the lip-balm did not enhance my performance in the slightest

I had honestly considered putting Haiku on the Compute Stick so it'd be a properly weird poasting station but Haiku's UEFI is really too new for me to want to mess with, and when I first tried on the stick I sent OSI Bean Dip last year it didn't really work so I just restored Ubuntu and then installed my tweaked build of Meroko you should totally give Haiku a try on the stick or a netbook though, its WebKit based browser is even sufficient for reading the forums and it'll absolutely fly, and you can try it from a live USB stick or SD card

   To paraphrase  My Wife : Did you win some stupid contest or something?I went to take the dog out for his nightly piss and saw a massive box with all this inside: image quality is poo poo cause i'm using my kindle fire to take picture cause my phone battery literally died taking the first picture  and this  What's this?  OK It's a PEN  With USB! quote:Dear optimus_rhyme, *heavy breathing*  Let's open the one '4' kids. My wife decided to open this one instead of our son because 'my wife posted:I'm not gonna let our son open some gift from some person on the internet OMG   First the bag: YASE!  But wtf is this monitor cable?  Ok, also in the bag was this awesome watch:   But I can't use this sun system with just these cables... unless oh poo poo  feels so good. Lets open the big one O M G   again with the weird monitor cable tho  Ok ,what about the heavy square WTF is this  W  T  F  I have no idea what this thing is, or how to power it but I'll see what I can do edit: looks like nothing cause I suck at soldering quote:The Power supply is a 7.3V 2Amp. But you can get away with a 7.5VDC 2Amp adaptor (avaylable on ebay)... More info here: http://oldcomputers.net/kaypro2000.html And finally, whatever the hell is in this bag....  My wife, upon me opening it, went full price is right jumping up and down because.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GsbvGCWZe0 it goes on like that for about 4 minutes until...   then I tried loading something and  But it rebooted fine so I started looking around  Mostly Fun and Games  Whoa, look at all these HyperCards  I wonder what 'cuties' is    An easy game, lets see what else is there A cool music making app  Some word documents:  Is this some 90210 fan fic? Lets see shall we    oops  Other cool docs    Here's a graphics folder labeled 'other crap' hrmmm  I wonder were 'X' goes  Whoa    Seriously though this is the best thing ever. I haven't even tried using the CDrom that came with this thing! More pics      I'll likely take all this stuff with me to work (since my place is so tiny I have no room for it here, lol Bay Yeah-rea) and get the other stuff working if I can. Meanwhile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-3Aj03cAF4 Oh yeah, I'm going to make a sperate let's play, but just to give you a little preview I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hgOiPi3mz0  What should I press?  Seriously though, this is a stupid awesome gift that I don't deserve. Thank you! Follow-up question, anyone know how to make a copy of an old mac harddrive called 'DataFrame XP 30'? I kinda wanna back it up so I have an image if/when the HD dies. Optimus_Rhyme fucked around with this message at 08:56 on Jan 10, 2017 |

The drive is a Miniscribe RLL drive (the non-XP models were MFM); the interface is SCSI. Your best bet, barring a newer Mac with Ethernet (though I have a few in storage that'd work for that at some point) is a bunch of floppy disks; a SCSI2SD would probably work fine too, but they're more expensive than floppies. If I were you I'd make note of what temperature that room's at because apparently you've hit the sweet spot between "cold enough the tracks are out of alignment" and "warm enough that stiction keeps the spindle from moving." I was going to order you a floppy with System 6.0.8 on it but it looks like that's not needed! I'm still working on getting an AC adapter for the Kaypro; I'll send it your way (via mail instead of mystery porch present drop) when I get ahold of it. There's a 13W3-to-VGA adapter in the bag; you'll need a monitor that supports sync-on-green, IIRC. My Dell Ultrasharp does, but I'm not sure how common that is. The mouse in there is a PS/2 optical mouse because trying to use a ball mouse is a tremendous pain. Your challenge now: find out if the Indigo boots (if not, the NVRAM battery is probably dead, which I could fix for you at some point), use the CD-ROM drive, the SCSI terminator, the included cables, and those IRIX CDs to reset the root password on the Indigo. Being that it came from Marin, it may have originally belonged to ILM or something. http://nekochan.net is your friend when it comes to SGI information. I have its twin, so if it refuses to boot I could eventually fire mine up and find out where yours is from too. That'd have to wait for my summer break, though. I'll upload the video to Youtube so people can look at it without VLC. I don't know what I did to the encode, but Chrome sure hates it! Edit: youtube hates it too. apparently google burns with hated for h.265. whoops. also that SGI probably cost somewhere in the vicinity of $30,000-$40,000 when it was new atomicthumbs fucked around with this message at 11:54 on Jan 10, 2017 |

also yeah listening to the video that drive is absolutely not supposed to sound like that that'd be the heads stepping back and forth almost every time it tries to seek because it can't find the track THEORETICALLY it ought to boot almost instantly but it's a miracle it works doing that it shouldn't really get any worse, though, as long as you don't move the drive while it's spinning
