A while ago, I posted a design for a home-made circuit designed to connect multiple hard drive add-on cards (and the motherboard) to a single case LED.  I made a handful of these for the servers around here, and in the three years or so since then, I’ve yet to see anything similar.  It’s [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=238 A short while ago, I was traveling through New York, and somehow managed to leave my driver’s license with the TSA. This wouldn’t have been so bad, except that I needed to fly out of Chicago the next day, and I needed to rent a car at my final destination, which probably isn’t possible without [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=233 After witnessing several hundred seizures at the rehabilitation center where I worked, I came to recognize the early signs of a seizure.  They may be different for many people, but often there was a glassy look, a slight roll of the eyes, a twitch … some little sign that something major was about to happen.

In the [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=229 While it’s not well documented, it’s possible to do a bare-metal restore of a machine running Windows XP that’s been backed up via BackupPC (assuming, of course, that some method, such as that documented here, has been used to back up open files, such as the registry.)

The alternative, [...] Related posts:

I once owned, and loved, a 1968 Triumph GT6+.  It had a beastly inline 6 cylinder engine with twin carburetors, and the drive wheels were attached with fancy little doodads called “rotoflex” connectors, which were essentially big rubber bands.  The net effect was that this car could move really well.

The car wasn’t without its [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=202 A little over 10 years ago, I bought an open-box RCS TX10-B thermostat control unit to replace a TX10 unit.  “Open Box” means it came without any documentation, but it should, in theory, be a drop-in replacement for the TX10 — the “B” designator indicates that it’s capable of reporting status and temperature, unlike the TX10.

Unfortunately, [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=196 I have an old Fujistu Stylistic 3500 Tablet that I picked up cheap as hospital surplus, which usually sits in its cradle in the kitchen, handy for looking up recipes and playing music.  It came with Windows 2000 preloaded (and as surplus, ravaged by viruses) which it ran until last week, when I finally decided I [...] Related posts:
