My new blog. Coming soon. Welcome to my new blog/web site. Guess it's a little of both. Or neither. I thought I would work on some content before going live and even then gradually publish entries. In addition to everything else I'm also trying to learn WordPress.
The Arcade Cab Project Part 3: Constructing the control panel part 2
This is a continuation of my multi-part series about my arcade project about about the - as of now - hypothetical arcade cab project (and definitely not decent into madness). This hilariously part 2 of a thing that's a part 3 of a thing. Where to start... I did come up with an idea of … Continue reading The Arcade Cab Project Part 3: Constructing the control panel part 2
The Arcade Cab Project Part 3: Constructing the control panel part 1
This is a continuation of my multi-part series about my arcade project - which seems more hypothetical at the moment. I have slowly come to the conclusion the project can't really move forward until I have at least a working proof-of-concept for what the control panel will be. This is because in order to really … Continue reading The Arcade Cab Project Part 3: Constructing the control panel part 1
Hyper-V 2019: Installing a second server, drivers included
I've had this rough draft of this "extracting drivers from windows" post for almost as long as I've had the blog (which is only April 2019 but still seems like a while). I still recently finished that post - a version of it anyway - but this post my in fact take it's place. I'm … Continue reading Hyper-V 2019: Installing a second server, drivers included
Better living through Scratch (Meta #8)
I'm not sure if this fits into my already ill-defined "meta" category but I'm going to go with it. Since my last meta, I actually started a new game which assuming I ever finish (looks like at least 100 hours for completion, probably more) I will post a review for. I also watched a couple … Continue reading Better living through Scratch (Meta #8)

Severely Rutted (Meta #7)
The past two or three months I've felt like I was locked into week-after-week pattern. Going to work coming home, every day exactly the same with the most minimum of variation. And actually the weekends were largely the same: just a repeat every single time. I had been committed to finishing two TV shows (Starget … Continue reading Severely Rutted (Meta #7)

The Arcade Cab Project Part 2: Parts and components
This is a continuation the prior post about about the - as of now - hypothetical arcade cab project. I thought I should start listing some details of the "Mark I" as listed in part I. This project was largely inspired by a few posts on the /r/cade subreddit. It looked relatively easy and I … Continue reading The Arcade Cab Project Part 2: Parts and components
Extracting drivers from Windows
Since about 2014 (as I write this late-2019) I started buying these incredibly low-end and low-priced Intel Atom-based devices. There was something about a device running windows and coming in under $100 that never failed to fascinate me (actually I got a non-windows Atom device for around $45, as a novelty). Let me stop here … Continue reading Extracting drivers from Windows
