Tech Projects
Apr. 10th, 2018 08:34 pmI was sitting at my desk today and took stock of all the projects I have on my plate and I am really looking forward to some of the things coming in the next few months.
I have been fiddling around with a G3 PowerBook I got for a song late last year and have finally settled on its role to my tech ecosystem. Up until now I have only really used it for more longer form journaling, the kind of stuff that is just for me. I plan to keep that up, but a great, and obvious use is for old school gaming. Many of my favorite games are total abandonware at this point and I am looking forward to installing them from the Mac Garden soon.
I have a couple vintage digital cameras now, a Quicktake, and a Mavica. Both should be compatible with my PowerBook and will produce the lower rez images I would prefer for my Neocities website that has been long neglected.
I need to fix my Linux partition on my Thinkpad. Right now the only solidly working computer I have is this Acer Iconia Tab with a custom Ubuntu install on it. It works well...but I never intended it to be my only system, just a smaller one that is easy to pack.
Ebay needs to become a priority in the near term too, a bunch of the tech I have needs new homes. Indeed, some of the things I have were bought specifically to resell, only to languish on my shelf.
After struggling to find options I have decided to soft retire my personal smartphone. In its place I bought the new Nokia 3310 feature phone and it will become my primary phone. I plan to make sure the sim card can be swapped so I can use it with my smartphone for travel, but most of the time my phone will be far more basic.
