Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

four 3d printer I/O shields each with slightly better layout and options.  the top is the earliest and has holes that are too small (the DB9 and DB25 are comically small).  the next has the right sized DB9 and DB25 cutouts, but there is still a problem with the clearance on the PS/2 ports. the third one would have worked, but I wanted to shift the PS/2 ports half a millimeter and add labels for the three DB ports.

the back of a Gateway 2000 G3 case with the completed I/O shield and motherboard installed. everything lines up and fits.
my assorted implements of destruction used to create the hole for the I/O shield.  sitting on top of an old table cloth covered in small pieces of metal are: a round file, a triangle file, a pair of snips, a hacksaw, and a pair of needle nose pliers.

For my #HamRadio tunable elevated radial project, I want to isolate them from the earth and the mast, and I'm not finding an isolating mount that goes into a normal ½" "light stand". So I've come up with this design to build. (Yay, I can't just buy it, so I have an excuse to spend some shop time!)

ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A black and white image of a utility pole overwhelmed by a chaotic tangle of wires. The wires loop, twist, and hang in various directions, some appearing disconnected or frayed. The dense mass of cables creates a visual maze, suggesting poor maintenance or infrastructure overload. The pole itself is weathered, and the scene hints at potential hazards. The image emphasizes the complexity and disorder of urban electrical systems.

ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A monochrome image of a deteriorating urban area. A brick wall with peeling paint stands in the background, partially damaged and surrounded by scattered bricks and debris. A concrete curb runs along the bottom edge, and a manhole cover is visible nearby. Overgrown weeds and plants emerge from cracks in the pavement. Electrical boxes mounted on metal frames and a chain-link fence suggest infrastructure. The scene evokes neglect and decay, contrasting nature’s per…
ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A close-up black and white photo of a morning glory flower blooming on a vine wrapped around a metal railing. The flower is on the right side, its delicate petals and central opening clearly visible. The vine’s tendrils and leaves intertwine with the railing, creating a contrast between organic curves and industrial lines. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the flower’s gentle beauty. The image captures a moment of quiet resilience in an urban setting.…
ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A black and white photo of an outdoor tiled surface made of hexagonal tiles. The tiles are worn and uneven near the top edge, with some broken pieces and scattered debris. In the upper right corner, a small stack of square slabs tied with string sits atop a short stand or stool. The slabs appear heavy and utilitarian, possibly construction materials. The scene captures a gritty urban texture, with strong contrasts between the geometric tile pattern and the roughn…

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Most cladocerans have a bivalve carapace, but one genus is very different. Leptodora is globally distributed in the north, large (~2 cm), elongated, and effectively transparent, leading it to be coined "ghost flea" by a colleague. It is a primitive genus and is the only cladoceran with a nauplius stage. Highly predaceous with a huge eye, it preys on juv…

Mwt astma in een vervuild huis haal je ouwe koeien uit de sloot als je het er over hebt dat de situatie compleet onleefbaar is.
Sjesus ... Die zag ik niet aankomen.
Maar werd nadrukkelijk nog herhaald.
Even helpen met een kraktje boodschappen was wel vanzelfsprekend. Nou dat kan ik ook wel in een aantal keren dafen verspreid.

Honestly... seems totally doable

In 2022, a man in the US went viral after eating an entire rotisserie chicken every day for 40 days, with crowds gathering in Philadelphia to watch him complete the final day of the challenge.
