Burnt Toast Diner

This is the best place to score some java in all of Texas! I come here regularly. A few months ago I was interfacing with one of the waitresses and said how boss it would be if they set up a blog. “Everyone’s on the net these days,” I said.

Well, she must have remembered because today while doing some waffles I noticed a ‘puter sitting by the wall. But it wasn’t just any ‘puter. No, sir. It was an authentic Commodore 64!

Unfortunately, they didn’t realize it was too old to be of any real use. They were disappointed when I told them, so I promised I’d supe it up and have it blog-compatible within the hour.

Maybe I overestimated my CPU. It took me two and a half hours.

After reinterfacing the IDE chipset with an ethernet-ready MMAS400 board, it looked like I was only a few nano-tweaks away from beta.

A capacitor here. A transistor there. A few microcontrollers, to taste. And violla! Google.com!

The staff was impressed. I was surprised their non-1337 brains could even process what they had just witnessed.

I gave a quick explanation and set up an account on Blogger. They suggested I post the first post, and now you’re reading it!

Crap! My coffee got cold. Oh, well. I need to get back to the office anyway. I left Rufus in charge. Last time that happened, we had to give him a blood transfusion from all the paper cuts.

I wonder what crazy things will be posted here?
