* Took a bit of comp time for working last night and slept in for a couple of hours before heading into work.
* On a tip from Charlie, I plucked the little cmos battery from my Quadra 605 and brought it to Radio Shack on my lunch hour. (Charlie suggested that a dead battery sometimes would cause the 605 to not sync it’s video signal) The battery was dead and so I replaced it. (I also managed to pick up a CueCat while I was there- just in case…) Once home, I popped the little battery into the Quadra and reconfigured the little video dongle and BAMMO! Welcome to Macintosh right there on my standard svga monitor!!! This is really cool!
* Started looking around the web for Quadra info… I need to find an ethernet card for it and a straight 68040 so I can run NetBSD on it and put it on my network at home.
* Logan and I found a really cool site tonight! We were looking for all sorts of information on the International Space Station and found the coolest VRML site This is a definite must see! Download a VRML browser (or plug-in) and download the VRML package from that site and have a blast! This was the kind of stuff I always wished for back during the days of SkyLab
