I have installed the latest version of OpenBSD on the SIMH VAX emulator. It is slow as balls, because crapple crapintoshes are slow as fuck to begin with. I also don’t have SIMH compiled with networking yet, so this emulated machine does next to nothing. Later, I will get this stuff running on one of my fast computers, and it should be a lot cooler.

Sparcstations Ahoy!

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Thanks to Obsolyte, I own several of the most useless computers ever invented:

Sparcstation IPX
Sparcstation IPC
2x Sparcstation 5
Sparcstation 4
Sparcstation 20
Marixx Sparcstation 10 clone

I also have 911, 811, and 411 disk boxes. They are pure faggotry, but it all adds up to a huge pile of obsolete Unix shit.

I don’t think the specs are really important, but it should suffice to say that I have enough components for one or two really bitchin’ 32 bit sparc machines. I should also say that even though these are totally pointless, they at least can run a decent unix-like operating system. So it could be a lot worse, but fuck, I’ve never had sex in my life.

Edit: to be clear, I didn’t pay more than $200 for all of this shit. I picked them up cheap from eBay and a local place called Comprenew.

Rocks! I want to try making a Lastmeasure AP, among other things.

is excellent whi8skey and I would certainly drink it again.

Next week, a fifht of Crwn Royal Special reserve. It should be more than i can drink without passing out or something. i don’t want o have an embarrasing acciedent, but it is for science, so what the hell.

edit: chuck yerkes died and i’m not sure what hat means, but he was an OpenBSD guy s o who knows that that means.

Dongles

Friday, May 27th, 2005

I bought this dongle:

Asus WL-167g USB2 WLAN interface

It has the new Ralink Technology chip, which is supported by OpenBSD’s new ral driver. I like their strategy of snapping up market share by selling cheaper and better documented chips than Broadcom and Intel.

I was fooling around with it last night but the hard disk failed in my test machine. What a pain in the ass. IBM Deathstar.
