April 2006 Archives

   The Army needs to funk all that stupid "Army of One" crap. This is what they need to be recruiting with. Add some more explosions in there, of course.

   Well, I got bored and decided to do another of my little software reviews. As always, its of some freeware. So, if it sounds good you can enjoy it for free. Hurray for things costing nothing.
   The software that I will be reviewing is a Tetris incarnation called Quinn. You can pretty much expect to play tetris when you get this game. It does support network play but I haven't tested that; since, I have no one to play with. Nevertheless, the one thing I have to say about it is that it is extremely polished. Everything is smooth and the nice little eye candy effects are pleasant.
   This is just perfect for when I just feel like playing a quick game of something. A true testament to good design.

   Short as always...

   It has been an idea of mine for a while but I haven't got to work on it until a week ago. This idea of mine is to place my local Mac server on a shelf of my desk. An otherwise unused shelf, that is.
   There was a lonely 'ole B&W G3 that was lying around my room. It was the perfect choice for it. I thought about using the motherboard from my current server, the Beige G3 server, but decided I should use the B&W's instead. For my uses, the extra power from it won't be noticed at all but I wanted to anyway.
   At the moment, it has been tested to make sure it works and its just waiting for me to put some sort of transparent panels on the opened sections of it. Plus, I have to make some sort of carriers for the hard drives and other drives. It will have to hold them safely over the motherboard because that is the only place for them. I also have to move the processor from the Beige over to it and to get some memory for it, at least 256MB (It would probably work with 128MB but I feel like more).
   I'll update when I get it all together.
   

   I found this computer while bebopping around on eBay. A nice one at that. I believe this had 4 200MHz PowerPC 604 chips in it. The price is going high for its age too. Mind you, if I had the money I would be bidding too.

   Nothing much going on here lately. Thus, the lack of updates. I'll hopefully have something up soon, I hope. Most likely I will.
