Download a bunch of music, and while waiting for that, tag and properly name all your current music. Once you're done with the music you already have, you'll have to tag and properly name all your new songs! Should keep you busy for a few days ;)

I'm about to get going with my 110gb of MP3 files tomorrow...

Or you could just clean and RetrObrite your keyboard


...looks like I've stumbled across a new project for my Compaq. Lulz.

I'm working on turning it into a clear board, dying the keys eventually, and throwing doubleshots on it. Now the retrobrite.

A little late, but when I get bored, I do stuff like this, post to the appropriate forums and watch the fur fly:

I keep around a few emulators just for rainy days.  The Kindle helps, too.

Some of us did. Interesting you used the SGI logo there given that the first products from SGI, Sun, and Cisco were based on the same 68000 workstation from Stanford.

Hilarious.

Why don't you explain the joke while I go take a pic of my Java t-Shirt.

If you put it up, I'll maybe send you a pic of me in my OG Google boxers, but I'm not sure you could deal with the size of my e-peen.  Wouldn't want to scare you.

Those 68000s were before my time.  First SGIs I got to play with were MIPS machines.  IRIX screwed me up for a long time.

Never got to play with one myself either, although we had one in storage for a bizarre reason. The relevant academics had this license for a package that would normally cost telephone numbers; the license was legally valid as long as this 68000-based machine physically existed, even though the software itself ran on other machines.

Never had that much of a problem with IRIX myself; at least once I caught on to the trick of installing it as minimally as possible and attaching an external hard disk with all the files from the full CD set copied to it. Mind you the collection of workstations that I got lumbered with took a couple of years to untangle and make sane.
