Notes

that could have been an e-mail, tim

I walked over to my local hardware store this morning to find a tube fitting, but they didn't carry the size I needed. Rather than drive to a big box store, I went to McMaster-Carr's website and found the fitting, downloaded their 3D model of it, and printed one in about an hour.

While I would never download a car, in this case I downloaded a Carr. Is this still unethical?

Not sure how this became my job now

My BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Desk Accessory for System 6+ is now available:

https://jcs.org/bluescsi

It lets you view your current network name and signal strength, and change networks on the fly without having to edit your BlueSCSI configuration

Perfect for taking your 68k PowerBook to the coffee shop (but who would do such a thing?)

When you run out of filament 27 hours into a print and continue with a different brand that doesn't have the same finish 🤦‍♂️

Me: Ah crap, why didn't USPS scan this package when I dropped it off? It's been 5 days now, where is it? Did I lose it? Did it get damaged? I'll have to send this customer a new one. Maybe I should visit the post office again and see if they can--

USPS: lol we just found it in Denver

The water wheel is now turning. [2]

I've made the first formal release of my Wikipedia reader for classic MacOS:

The second batch of 10 batteries sold out quickly yesterday (thanks @ActionRetro!) so I had to make them all last night, but it will take a while to charge+discharge+recharge each of them before shipping them all out.

I've ordered a 3rd batch of battery packs and will hopefully have more for sale by the end of the week.

A translucent battery, what'll they think of next

Charm is the viscous grease with which he oils his flim-flam machine!

A SCSI disk emulation device like BlueSCSI/SCSI2SD but using CompactFlash... from 1999

Off to the post office... thanks everyone!

After many test builds and case design tweaks, my first batch of new PowerBook 1XX (140-180c) batteries is now available for sale:

I have a small number of salvaged battery doors if your PowerBook doesn't have an old battery with one to swap over.
