This has become more of a tourist/shopping experience than the electronics bazaar. I saw some incredible stuff. Their was an entire floor of Apple products, with more stuff than any Apple store. some of the old school electronics guys remain. i picked up this clock.
i have finally deployed some much needed updates as well as some resource restructuring of my hosted system. i broke a few things (php-curl), i fixed a few things (wordpress plugins). For the first time in ages, i am looking forward to my AWS bill. AND. . . i may actually be federated.
To be honest i wasn’t a fan of Elon before i bought my car. my biggest stated fear was that Elon would destroy Tesla before they finished my car. By that i meant that he would drive tesla into enshitification or bankruptcy before full self driving was ever realized. This afternoon, i’ve rebranded with the help of APX! Autobots rollout!
Don’t worry i didn’t share my pie with this guy. i did run him arround in circles though.
I got to visit the sphere. it’s got some amazing tech.
As the Vintage Computer Festival Socal jumps back into action, I make good on my promise to bring a car full of ancient equipment. All free to a good home. As usual there were amazing systems from every era running and in beautiful shape. I even saw a man in an SGI kimono!
UPDATE: another carload including X10 automation and lots of original software in boxes. also, a pile of network gear!
My blog already syndicates to my mastodon, but with this post, it should also be federated itself. ?
i need to get into better shape and try again. beautiful weather and no smell of smoke in the air. (though you can see it in the distance)
