Woo!

I now have a probationary license until April 9, 2008!

I can drive, by myself, anywhere

..

I dunno where, but I could!

Now I just need some actual "P Plates" for the car :P

(no subject)

In a move that would come as no suprise to anyone (especially the four people to emailed me to tell me it was on) PLC had their annual school fair last weekend, and they had a stall selling off old macs. Everyone seemed to be after the toilet seat ibooks, but not I. I had my eyez on the Powerbook 1400's they had for sale. I picked up 2, one with a floppy and one with a CD-ROM drive. I got home and found I had lucked out! These were 166mhz (I only had a 117mhz previously) and the CD was the 12x drive, which I can actually upgrade to a DVD-RW. So I merged all three of the 1400's together and got a Powerbook 1400cs/166mhz/32MB/1.3gb, just like I used to have until I foolishly sold it in 2002 :(

I tried getting two different ORiNOCO Silver cards to work in it with the wireless network.. they associate, but TCP/IP doesn't work. So tantalisingly close and yet so far. So it's currently connected via PPP over a USB<->Serial widget plugged into my Powerbook G4 ( pppd /dev/tty.usbserial0 57600 local persist passive nodetach maxfail 0 proxyarp 192.168.1.101:192.168.1.20 )

Ahh good times.
