Dive into IRIX
I’ve been diving into IRIX lately, setting up both 5.3 on my Personal Iris and 6.5.22 on my Indigo. It’s been interesting unlearning 20 years of Linuxisms and embracing the IRIX. There is an interesting project going on called irisware which aims to resurrect a modern pool of open-source software for IRIX. Which is not…
Syncing Apple Archaeology
The first post to my Syncing Apple blog was 14 years ago. It was about my G5 desktop rebooting on me. Not incredibly long ago for many people, but looking back at many of my postings the time from 2004-2010 was filled with many exciting advances in both OS and device introductions. A lot happened…
Atari 8bit on OSX

Amiga 500 2018 Uplift Project
I’ve started a project to pull my Amiga 500 out of the attic where it’s been for 18 years and try to use it again for fun (with the floppies that I’ve also saved for years) and to try and get it on the Internet. To do that I’m willing to spend some money on…
In Search of… Linux on the Switch 10 2-in-1
Remember that Acer Switch 10 that I purchased back almost a year ago, in 2014? I returned it to Amazon, but it’s taken ages for interesting (and cheap) Broadwell devices to trickle out and I’m not going to spend $700 plus for something like this. Meanwhile the Switch 10 was popping up again and again…
In search of the smallest – Acer Switch 10 Edition
Updated September 6th – More information, readbility August 11th - Read my latest post- I got another Switch 10 and am using Fedora on it…  In my never-ending search for the smallest of functional laptops it’s almost been impossible to find something that meets at the nebulous intersection of light and small and actually useful…
Amazon EC2 and Elastic Load Balancers – no paid AMIs?
I was setting up a load-balanced pair of Nodes on EC2 and ran into a snag: you can’t add paid AMIs (we sometimes use the real RedHat AMIs) with the elastic load balancers! So I kicked off some Centos 5.2 images from RightScale and moved everything over. This is going to cost RedHat, since now…
Amazon’s EC2 Portal
Amazon announced a web-based portal for EC2, and while it’s nice, it’s no ElasticFox. I guess I’ll use both, but ElasticFox is much much faster…
