amiga lives!
because i used to be SO hooked on our amiga 2000 and because i miss it so i decided it was time for an amiga emulator
it’s quite elaborate but YAY!
roms can be found here every amiga game ever released here
and now a pic of one of my favourite amiga games!
right, time to strain my wrist some more <3
Doom3 on Voodoo 2 SLi
warning this is old news…
(somehow the intarweb seems crowded with people that get pissed when you post something older than, let’s say, 2 days… ;-))
Anyways, it seems you can run Doom 3 on a Voodoo2 SLi-setup if you really wanted too :-)

Right-ee… of course, compared to some nowadays DX9 512MB ubercard, it looks like shite… but still, forget PCI Express AGP even… this is running on some old graphics hardware and the framerate is pretty decent :-)
Check out the gallery with screenshots over at firingsquad
Oh, and for those people who really want to try this… here you can find the Doom3-Voodoo2-patch :D (oh! and who’s gonna patch Quake 4? ;-))

old skool weekend part 2
Well, about a month ago I had this old skool weekend, playing around with all kinds of obsolete hardware I had laying around (and most of it, I still use on a daily base)...
I don’t know what the main attraction is here, but somehow old exotic hardware somehow keeps having this ring to it… and as long as I can find some proper use for it, I’ll be using it with lots of pleasure. (And to be honest… when I open my closet, I’d rather see a Sun Ultra than some brandless craprouter, although with todays prices, the latter will be the more expensive one… strange but true)
So… I bid on a lot of 2 Sun Ultra’s and I picked them up last friday :-)

And this weekend I’m playing around with this old gear… actually I’m busy with a new project… it’ll be a long-term one. I had a Sun Ultra 1 as a transparent bridge/firewall for about a year… only downpoint was that it was in between the router and the cable-modem and that way, all the traffic had one IP-number… once the traffic is past my router, it has all the internal IP-numbers and somehow I want to control the traffic on that side of my router too… So plans grew to build a dual transparant bridge and that’s where this Ultra 2 comes in… I already did some testing on my old Ultra 1…
I’ve got an image of that here
...but when I came across this lot on an auctionsite, it somehow seemed so fitting… upgrading a single transparent bridge on a single Sun Ultra into a dual transparent bridge on a dual Sun Ultra (this really is the most stoopid reason on the planet, but still ;-))

Nintendo Virtualboy
I once saw this thing in a movie… Don’t know which one though… Thought it was a fake or such… but it really exists!

I’d love to have it… but then again, I have a rather strange taste in hardware… I guess :-)

beware of all the options, but isn’t this great?! :D
I don't want a Nano, gimme a mini
“Not only are these old school iPods selling well at the online auction site, but they are selling for well above their original $199 price tag. Crazy? Yes. Crazier? The fact that people are paying more for an iPod mini than a brand new iPod nano would set them back.”
Huh? this surprises me… Is this true?
I’ve got a scratchless(!) golden(!) iPod-mini… I guess I’d trade it for a black 4GB nano a 5G iPod for sure! (I’m willing to pay some to make that happen)... :D yeah yeah, dream on, I know ;-)
OMG BOMBZ0R!!!
oh dear :D
