Surplus and synergy: launching new umbrella project
by David Nicol 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

I have been identified as the designated executive custodian, keeper, warden, fiduciary and cuspidor of the late Oren Beck's horde of surplus computer equipment and various. Also, I've got control of a small uninhabited house in KCK, within a fiberhood. Who would like to join me in forming a new NFP legal entity FOOB (Friends of Oren Beck) which will have a mission of rehabbing and placing old computers, from its west Westport build shack? Let's combine all our surplus hordes into the one, main, inventoried FOOB heap! Please respond off-list, I'll set up a new list for the FOOB project, and we can work out the details and logistics there, for instance, organizational governance, getting the utilities turned back on in the small uninhabited house, possibly building it another little storage barn, scheduling inventory parties, selecting what software goes on a FOOB box, hosting elementary school field trips, laying out the brochure for the history on display in the retrocomputing museum room, etc etc etc David Nicol -- Drive the road, not the traffic.

Oren Beck

He was the guy that introduced me to the entire linux world back in 2006, am still doing so enthusiastically. For a dude that was so... cranky about religion, to make his exit on Easter Sunday seems like it may just have some significance..... I just haven't the faintest idea what it might be. In any event, I hope there is something on the other side of things to keep you entertained, you leave a large hole in the middle of the lives of us mere mortals. -- When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro....

important lesson learned from installing Ubuntu from a stick
by David Nicol 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

during the install, the stick is /dev/sda and the target hard drive is /dev/sdb. This is important to have straight at the final phase -- grub installation -- otherwise one winds up with a system that requires the stick to boot. Whoops. -- "If you've made it this far, please reward yourself with a treat." -- @Kbratskeir
