takes a look at the Philadelphia protests during the Republican Convention in his column this week. Lyle’s been working the protest beat for years now, and doing so very well at newspapers across North America, so he has an interesting perspective. The long view, maybe.
So the new machine
is home and all put together. I’ve been playing around with different things for a couple of hours now actually – the whole thing took less than an hour to get up to speed – software installed, the ATA drive from my old machine put in, video, SCSI, and more RAM installed, etc. What they say about G4s is true – the easiest case to crack of anything I’ve seen. It took me longer to open my old machine to grab the HD out of it – that was actually the most time consuming thing of all.
There is one problem though – my old old 2nd video card doesn’t seem to be working. It’s an old ATI VR card with just 4Mb of memory – but it should be enough to drive my second monitor. But alas it may not be compatible or something (which is a bit weird cause of course it fits in the damn PCI slot). Anyhow – should be solved soon.
So I’m at the computer store
right now buying a new G4. I was fed up with my old 6400 with an L2 upgrade to a G3 – it was like the Frankenstein monster of computers.
Sometimes people write
parodies that are so on-target they’re not even funny – they’re kind of spooky! SoYouWanna fake being an indie rock expert? is a great example of that. If it were serious, I would nit-pick that the history section is off quite a bit in ignoring the whole “import” phenomenon that existed back in the early 80s, immediately before CDs came along. I know, I was there. [link found via Peterme]
I’m very curious
to watch wireless move into the handheld world: Handspring to License Qualcomm Wireless Standard (aka CDMA).
