I think I know why there’s a RAM shortage. I seem to have it all.

I attempt to make YouTube videos on random retro tech that I lusted after or had chance to use when I was younger. Still learning so be gentle ;) https://www.youtube.com/richsrandomretroreviews
Well that's a first (for me anyway). I have an SSD that's just died. I can't get my computer to see it at all. RIP 240GB Kingston drive.

I find it quite funny that I’m using a titanium PowerBook G4 as a flat surface for my mouse pad.
I’m having a Windows 98 SE install kind of night.
The new monitor for the Sun Blade works.
Oops. I seem to have accidentally purchased something I already own…
My new (to me) Sony monitor turned up. This one is a 1280x1024 display so hopefully I won’t need my VGA scaler to get it to accept the Blade’s signal. But I now have to wait for a new NVRAM battery from China…
Geekbench 7 has been released. Which means benchmarking everything again 😂
Also, I have failed to fix this NVRAM battery for the Blade. Worth a shot. Just ordered one from China.
I’m having a bad day. Even receiving this through the post hasn’t been able to lift my spirits. It’s only taken over three weeks to get here…
I cracked open the Blade 100. Now to see about hacking into the IDPROM. I'm going to try to make my own CR2032 powered one.
Unfortunately my snazzy 15” monitor won’t work with the Blade as it’s 1024x768 only. I might be able to change that another time but for the moment I’d just be happy to see it post.
A questionable eBay purchase has arrived!! I decided I wanted to learn Solaris properly. Years ago I had a Sun Ultra 5 but I didn’t get on with it too well. I’m hoping to learn more about Sun’s flavour of UNIX.

Just rendering out my latest video! I’ve enjoyed messing around doing it. I’ll be uploading it shortly.
Today has been a good day. I have spent about 6 hours in my studio making a new long form video. Probably won’t get many views but I’ve had fun so far. I’ve figured out it takes me about an hour per minute of video. That’s to shoot and edit.
I've done another 'thing'...I've been on eBay again and I've bought a Sun Blade 100. Don't ask me why...Linux/UNIX and I don't get on... I'm hoping that'll change!
I have someone commenting on all of my shorts. They are asking lots of questions. I guess it's engagement so I shouldn't moan haha.
I have purchased 2 items from eBay.com and used a forwarding mail service to get them here. I've also purchased something from eBay.com & used eBay's international shipping program. The trouble is, I have 0 patience and want ALL OF THE THINGS NOW!! 1 should be arriving on Friday, the rest next week.
I have made a questionable purchase on eBay. Questionable because it was expensive but it’s something I had a s a kid. It’s totally not practical either…
I don’t bloody believe it. But I got ICQ connected to Oscar too. I don’t really know how to find someone to message yet but I’m getting there!!!
