derping around with scrambls. don't mind me.

For what it's worth, I broke my Atari trying to put the new OS in.  I even tried putting the old OS back in, still won't boot.  I wonder if I fried one of the existing components, though all the soldering was done near resistors, and I've heard resistors don't just die from heat ( Read more... )

I want to mod my Atari 800XL with the super-video mod, and then maybe put Ape Warp+ OS in it.

but I would hate to spend all that money on equipment and parts, and discover that I'm too blind to do it, and break my Atari in the process.

also, nobody else cares about those old games.

OK; that black wire is probably the antenna to my wireless card. So I figured I'd better reconnect it, just to keep it from flopping around the inside of the case, and so I didn't have to remember all this if I moved it out of this room. But I had to remove the video card to get my giant hands in there, and apparently there was a latch I was ( Read more... )

friday-saturday: phoenix comicon

sunday was wasted

today is monday and I am working through the rest of that Arduino book.

So the only output device I have for this Arduino board is a blinky light. So I whipped together some code that outputs morse code through it ( Read more... )

So, for the first time in a while, I bought a comic book. Well, a hardback compilation, as it turns out. [Simpsons-Futurama Crossover Crisis.

It's a new thing that I usually don't buy, but it's not exactly enriching.

So I also bought a Getting Started with Arduino Kit V2.0. I have no idea what I'll get out of it. I only have vague childhood ( Read more... )
