boredom (and lots of newegg orders) has led to this - me building 2 nostalgic computers and configuring a Dell server. I had to do something with all those WinXP licenses after all

next up - either a home theatre PC or an Intel Q6600 machine or maybe a Core i7 machine

For the techies, here's what we're looking at. (note: I don't do ANY pc gaming - the video cards are just whatever was readily available in AGP/PCI which is pretty rare these days)

Left to right:

Dell PowerEdge SC440 w/WinServer 2008 x64 Enterprise

Intel Dual Core Xeon 3040 1.86ghz 2mb cache 1066mhz FSB

4gb DDR2 667mhz ECC RAM

EVGA GeForce FX 5200 128mb PCI video card (onboard sucks)

WD 80gb 7.2krpm SATA main HD

Seagate 500gb 7.2krpm SATA secondary HD

Asus DVD-ROM

Pioneer 20x DVD/RW

Intel PRO/1000GT NIC (onboard sucks)

FrozenCPU.com modified Lian-Li PC-65B windowed case

The internals of this comp used to be in the case on the right - an Alienware 2001DV that cost $7k configured in 2001.

Hitachi Deskstar 60gb 7.2krpm IDE main HD

WD 120gb 7.2krpm IDE secondary HD

XFX GeForce 6200 512mb AGP video card (only because my awesome red PCB Gainward GeForce 4 Ti4600 seems to be overheating a lot)

Koutech PCI to USB 2.0 card (in 2001, USB 2.0 wasn't around)

Lian-Li USB 2.0 3.5" card reader

Lian-Li USB 2.0 3.5" card reader

Asus DVD-ROM

Pioneer 20x DVD/RW

Intel PRO/1000GT NIC

Enermax 500W PSU

yea, retro computing. good times. note very little storage in all the comps since there's plenty of TBs worth of storage on my network

the Matrox Parhelia card powers a triple-monitor setup (new LCDs coming soon - those are circa 2001 once again) that looks like this

A view of one of the first full-energy collisions between gold ions at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, as captured by the Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) detector. The tracks indicate the paths taken by thousands of subatomic particles produced in the collisions as they pass through the STAR Time Projection Chamber, a large, 3-D digital camera.

This morning I woke with a sore neck, it's been developing all week... Too much computing I fear. These microwaveable wheat bags help to a degree but they are not as good as a 2 week holiday would be!

This technology is essential for your business to move forward.

Internet has been down for a day and a half. It's amazing how reliant I am on it, even though I could still connect with my phone.

I'm getting a Lily Pad wearable open source arduino microcontroller in the mail soon and i can't wait to get going with it!

It will be interesting to see my kids grow up in what is almost certain to be a tech-infused reality.

OSCAR: An Architecture for Generally Intelligent Agents by John Pollock from University of Arizona

Technical Session II: Architecture of AGI Systems at the The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08)

This room is The Zone, at the FedEx Institute of Technology, University of Memphis. It was a very good venue for this conference.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI -- to create intelligence as a whole, by exploring all available paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI is also called Strong AI in the AI community.

Another good reference is Artificial General Intelligence : A Gentle Introduction by Pei Wang

Checking out the score on the Vaio at an Occupy Jacksonville demonstration last November. The protests were peaceful and orderly. I happened to hear that there would be a protest at Hemming Park in downtown Jacksonville the evening before my late train to Washington departed, so I decided to attend with my cameras in tow.

Construction of the more than 200,000 square-foot, seven-story-tall Theory and Computing Sciences (TCS) building is underway near Argonne’s North Gate. When completed, the building will provide a much-needed infrastructure for large-scale computers, computational laboratories, a digital conference and meeting area as well as a consolidated Argonne library.

I'm guessing Robbie was in "hibernation mode,” because he put out a sign indicating that he would be back at "10:50." Or is he waiting for a reboot.

Cosmic...this one is for you.

Just as mobile phones are becoming ubiquitous, so is wireless computing. It's now common to see people surfing the Web in coffee shops, airports and hotels.

But this is the first time I've seen a couple on a swing, on the lawn outside their apartment--each with their own pc. When I offered to email them a copy of the photo, she immediately sent me an email so I'd have their address. I suspect this kind of image will become increasingly common.
