64HDD allows you to turn an older DOS-based computer (minimum of a 386sx/25, which you can probably find out at the dump, or in a back alley somewhere) into a hard drive for your 8-bit Commodore computer, using an X-Cable. I’m especially interested since MagerValp pointed out that a DOS machine can share drives over […]
I’ve been continuing to list my game collection in an Excel file – since I’ve done all my cartridges and CDs, I’m moving on to my floppy disk based software. I’ve got thousands of C-64 5.25″ disks, and within that collection are hundreds of original commercial (like, non-copied, non-pirated) disks. Much of my collection has […]
I’ve done lots of stuff in the last week, but haven’t got around to posting. I guess this’ll mostly be a “what I did” post. Saturday was a really busy day. Woke up before 7:00 a.m. to help set up for our yard sale (after helping set up most of Friday night too). Then I […]
Here’s a very fun song (with video) that just about says it all. Please check it out – Hey, Hey, 16k!
I’ve been slowly but surely listing all the computer and video games I own into an Excel spreadsheet. My main motivation is to have a handy list that I can keep in my PDA for reference when I’m out thrifting. My collection is large enough that I can’t remember everything I have. I’ve got almost […]
I found this survey from a company calling itself the “Commodore Group”, and it sort of seems like they’re trying to start selling Commodore computers again, apparently new ones. After going through the survey, it seems they just want to sell plain old PCs with a Commodore sticker on them, or something. This is pretty […]
12 minutes, again. I got together with some friends and watched Terminator 3 for the first time last night. I really enjoyed it, laughing out loud many times both at a good percentage of Arnie’s one-liners, and at many of the over-the-top and imaginative action sequences. However, I didn’t find the story itself as interesting […]
Did a “run” again today. 12 minutes this time. I think my definition of “run” is: To move quicker and further than I otherwise would. And remember kids: “Unix doesn’t just let you shoot yourself in the foot, it helps you aim.”
I actually managed to wake up and get out of bed before 7 a.m. this morning, so I had time to do a “run” around the block, which is a bit more than a mile long, if my truck’s odometer can be trusted. Last year I was able to do this in under 10 minutes, […]
Frogger update! So last night I finally managed to beat that really difficult level 5, and at about the same time, hit 20,000 points to get the extra frog. Level 6, surprisingly, is about as easy as level 1, except the snake is there, complicating the river crossing. And sometime between level 6-8 another snake […]
