One of the things I did to my machine for #VCFSoCal that no one really got to see because, well, no one’s gonna be booting 98 mid-show unless it crashes.

So uh.

2Satanic2Cube?

Really digging the vibes and a break from the cold Midwest winter. #retrocomputing #vcf #vcfsocal

So for those of you who want to see my take on #VCFSoCal here’s my Flickr album.

…also deleted the AirPort bracket and and card and added something else there because I was tired of it flipping out of place.
So I decided the Cube wasn’t satanic enough. So I made it more Satanic. With more LEDs.
I also got 10.3 spun up and going and that’s been fun too. Almost looks like my old G4 from back in the day.

Hey mastodon. Been a while.

Gonna post my current project, getting my G4 Cube into its final form in time for #VCFSoCal this year. Since the new chassis lets you see the innards I decided to give them a fresh coat of paint with a little bit of flair.

Came out way better than I was expecting and I’m really happy with it. And can’t wait to show it off at VCF next month.

Said this on the other site like 2.5 weeks ago and it's been on my mind today. Like I needed some basic advice for a home improvement thing and guess what? Reams upon fucking REAMS of AI slop or SEO'd crap articles.

We legit can't have nice things anymore.

So I did make sure this wasn’t any kind of deeper issue…by installing XP and giving it a whirl there and surprisingly, it worked!

Which is great but I didn’t want this to be another XP machine so…eh. But if it HAS to be XP I guess that’s the way it goes. Not giving up hope yet.
