Re: TLLTS website redesign just for the World Cup

i thought it was funny as well.

you know i wish they would ban the cow bell things everyone brings to our local AHL games. i think making a racket bigger then the game itself makes some people feel like they are a part of the game. but yea, some of these noise maker gadgets are just too much.

Re: Episode 20 - Upgrades

Schedules Direct going to a pay service coincided with a move to a new house and i just never got around to setting the mythbox up again. wood floors, tile, and many gallons of paint have occupied my time. but, i'm 99% done with the house. so, i see me finally having spare time to sit and watch reco...

Re: Commodore makes a return

about a year ago i was doing just that, eddie. solder and C64's. :wink: i pulled out an old 1541 drive, made an adapter to hook it to my Linux box (there are schematics online), and pulled some old programs off 5 1/4 floppies. :D a fun project, and quite nostalgic.
