>Computer parts

>I recently went to look for my old graphics card – an old Geforce 4mx. That meant entering my own scrap heap room – the only room I still keep at my parents (I wonder my my wife don’t want me to bring all this home).

The room is located at their attic and is quite small, maybe 2 by 3 meters. The floor is packed with CRTs and chassies.

Every geek needs a collection of AT and ATX power supplies. On the top of the shelves are a whole range of marginal stable single board Pentium and Pentium II computers.

Looking at the rest of the shelves you can see mini PCs (some works – the rest are kept since the chassies are small and nice). You can also see some old motherboards (and my brother’s hand).

The other side of the room is also charmingly decorated using the cheapest shelves money can buy. You can see a hot-swap HDD case, a motherboard and a single board computer without memory.


On the way out I ran into my Mac pile. It is an LC-II and something more expensive – do not remember what, but I used it for its black and white SCSI scanner.


That is pretty much all the computer junk I keep at my parents. I’ll try to go through the collection here later.

>Taking care of the plants

>This post is somewhat overdue, but I just have to tell you anyway. During the summer vacation I helped my wife when she had to take care of something at her office. The fourth entry says watering the plants, and it is six weeks overdue.

Looking at the desk – here are the plants. I just found this a bit ironic.
