quasi new pc

A few days ago i was bored, i got an old pc from the basement and tried to fix it up. I ran into so many problems, it had windows 2k as the os as well as tons of viruses. I couldn't even get online to dld any fixes and it didn't even have msconfig...smh. Then i remembered i had this around.



A copy of ubuntu a distro of linux that i got for free a while ago. The install was easy and i think it works on the machine way better than windows did. Took me 2 days to download updates and some ide's to code with. So i ended up with a like new pc with state of the art zip and floppy drives. Now i can program in peace!!!!!!!!!

Joystick 1.0

This is my first post in a long long time. But i've decided to start posting about all the projects i've been working on and even stuff i hope to work and just find interesting. So for the last few months i've had the love of arcade games revived and wanted to build my own joystick. So i did what i usually did, research. I read about woodworking and joystick building at various forums and sites and got some parts, and used what i know about electronics to build this.

It's a basic 6 button joystick i hacked out of an old playstation joypad i had around. sadly on my first try it didnt' work. The copper got pulled off the board,it still isn't perfect but i later got it to work. I definately plan on making more of these. Now i can play street fighter the way it was meant to be played. More posts to come.

sorry for the weird type placement in my posts. I've tried to fix them, but haven't totally figured out the small kinks when posting.

This piece is from a collection of 10.
I eventually made a book with all of them.
However this one is my favorite. This piece
Like the others is all done by hand using
collage, watercolor, found images, and found
typography.

(I've made about 3 books total all by hand, eventually
i'll post these just need a scanner)
