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.<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Maybe I overestimated my CPU. It took me two and a half hours.<br /><br />After reinterfacing the IDE chipset with an ethernet-ready MMAS400 board, it looked like I was only a few nano-tweaks away from beta.<br /><br />A capacitor here. A transistor there. A few microcontrollers, to taste. And violla! Google.com!<br /><br />The staff was impressed. I was surprised their non-1337 brains could even process what they had just witnessed.<br /><br />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! <br /><br />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.<br /><br />I wonder what crazy things will be posted here?Mr. Bennethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16418603606479190390noreply@blogger.com4
