Didn’t get much else done today, but I successfully modded and updated my (outdated) #OSSC. #InTheLabDoingStuff

I built a C264 Magic Cart (which is a Magic Desk style cartridge for the C16/116/Plus4 which can access up to 2MB of software from EPROMs). It’s very cool indeed!

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

PicoEMP died, had this gifted a while back. Does a good job with the printed mount.

Some #Apple #Macintosh #Performa 630 capacitor shenanigans going on in the Beta lab today. Main board got recapped although none of the caps had leaked. The power supply is not so fortunate, found 2 severely leaky smaller caps and some traces beginning to dissolve in the electrolyte. I think I caught it in time though, should totally be salvageable. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #InTheLabDoingStuff

Something "new" to explore on the workbench today: a 1995 #Apple #Macintosh #Performa 630 in the "DOS Compatible" variant. It’s a bit of an oddball machine from Apple‘s otherwise quite bland (in my opinion) beige era. It has both a regular 68040 Mac and a full 486/DX2-66 PC inside. Should even be capable of running Windows 95 alongside MacOS 8! Thanks to a very generous donation from @markuspooch I’m going to get to play with it. Thank you! #InTheLabDoingStuff #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

In the lab, downgrading the Atari 320XE to 128k. #IGiveUp #128kIsEnough #InTheLabDoingStuff #AtariXE #Atari65XE #Atari130XE
