I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome Dan Jones to the team at Hamina Wireless! As a precaution, we've enabled STP to keep him from answering his own emails, feature requests, and support tickets. Broadcast storm avoided. Whew. 😅

After over 14 months without, I’m pretty thrilled to have smuggled a couple of Macs into Finland! 🍎🇫🇮 The 145B has a good LCD for the 160 (thanks for the assist, This Does Not Compute!). I’ll get a BlueSCSI for storage and Wi-Fi, and then I need to figure out a battery. 🤔

Here’s a little trick from the vintage computing community that you can apply to wireless networking: if an AP is marked up, scrub it with a wet paper towel and some baking soda. The marks will come right off.

Weekend project success! Here’s an Arduino transmitting data to my Toshiba Libretto via IrDA at 9600 baud. The goal: pipe in serial mouse data, since docks with PS/2 and serial ports are hard to find. Several things (like Windows 9x drivers) need to go right for this to work.

Time to finish up the PowerBook 160 with a BlueSCSI kit from Jean-Michel Durand! This card does SCSI solid state storage and SCSI ethernet emulation (which means Wi-Fi support for this 1992 machine). I’ve never soldered castellated joins before; they’re pretty fun!

Congrats to Oscium for their acquisition of MetaGeek! I am very excited to see where things go, especially with Brian Tuttle at the helm! 🏴‍☠️

In Poland, I ate Zapiekanka. Bread, mushrooms, tons of melty cheese, and ketchup for 3.50€. Delicious. 🇵🇱 🥖 🍄‍🟫 🧀

Something I need a bunch of: small MicroSD cards, in capacities like: 💾 128 MB 💾 512 MB 💾 1 GB 💾 4 GB I need them for things like Game Boy flashcarts and SCSI hard disk emulators for old computers. They don't need to be fast, just reliable. Any ideas on where to find them?

I hate that iOS app developers are leaving iOS 15 and thus the iPod touch behind, especially for apps that target kids. I get it, but I hate it.

Bluesky is reaching escape velocity. As of this week, I find myself scrolling it instead of this place that used to be Twitter.
