my latest hardware project

Disk II Mac

in the same vein as the G4 Mac Plus, i recently finished up a quick little hack that combines a Mac Mini and a Disk II floppy drive, ca. 1978.

looks like Linus still has the same sense of humor

according to Red Hat’s bugzilla reports for Fedora 9, Linus Torvalds still has the same sense of humor he had when writing Linux kernel 0.1

youtube no workee – fedora 9 not usable for wife

you can see more of the wit and wisdom of the (much younger) Linus here:

my 3:37 of fame

That’s me on Letterman in March of 2006, performing a post-it portrait of Biff Henderson.

This, of course, the ultimate result of the Elvis mosaic.

sudoku solver updated

i’ve finally managed to put together an update to my sudoku solver. it’s now working in ActionScript v3, with some other small modifications under the hood to speed it up somewhat.

there are a few new bugs to work out, of course, but otherwise it’s working as well or better than before at solving tough puzzles by logic and, barring that, blind guessing.

i’ve also turned it into an Adobe AIR app, for the adventurous.

check it out here: clickheredammit.com

share and enjoy.
