Well, my Franken-Mac is up and running. That is, for those not following the story, its the bastardized Powermac 9600 I put together back in August to replace the iBook that shit itself. It is a mess of parts that honestly shouldn’t be running as well as it does, but it gets the job done. It is running Mac OS X (when it has no business doing so) thanks to a guy who has too much times on his hands, Ryan Rempel.
Its a good thing we now have DSL because of all the software updates I needed to run. ::Sigh:: Guess that’s the way it works, when you do tech support for a living, the last computer you get to is always your own.

Took a look at some houses tonight. There is a pretty wide range of stuff just going from one street to the next! Guess that’s the nature of gentrification…
I still wonder if we will be able to afford getting into a house. We’re gonna find out more tomorrow when we meet with a loan officer Angela was talking to this afternoon. They hit if off pretty well and this woman specializes in helping first-time buyers. Sounds like she’s right up our alley.
Pulled out the old PowerBook today. Its surprising how useful a 9 year old laptop can still be! Gonna see if I can get it working so that one of our client’s can use it on an upcoming trip. Well, so far he can play Asteriods at least…
Since Archive.org didn’t capture much from this time period of my site, I though it would be fun to post a screenshot from when I was working on the site in Dreamweaver.

Here is a shot of all the old computer stuff I was still sorting through that was in storage since moving into Derrydown. Back in 1999, I bought as much Mac crap as I could shove into my Chevy Celebrity for about $500 cash. Even after selling the parts for years, I still have some of them.

My life has not been straight, in a line or otherwise
