~~~~~ FACES...all kinds ~~

Art Week Gallery Theme

The brief and questions I gave myself for this project were:

if I truly had to design my very own craft what would I want it to look like?

As a pilot, what kind of tech would I want to see in the cockpit?

What real life scenario could I incorporate making it a unique experience?

If I needed it repaired/ refueled, would I have the correct gear?

Could I build in real safety features?

What if I crashed in a remote place and needed to survive?

Can I challenge myself from a builders persepctive using parts that hardly ever come out to play?

Could I revisit my stickering techniques on such a small build?

My answers were:

I wanted something that visually had a very aerodynamic shape that looked like it was moving even when stationery, it had to have a unique "skin" that set it apart from any of my previous builds. Plus been a Starfighter, it had to be equipped with lots of weapons, that could shoot any enemy in any direction. If I wanted to be able to end a mission I could just inject and still tell the tale to my mates. My wishlist for this very personal project was, make it truly mine!

Over 80 hours of building and experimental phases was a challenge, only as its 16 x 35 studs and 9-in height, made it rather difficult to integrate not only the many play features but the final balance display stand. Ive truly enjoyed the Jam, guys you are all my hero`s, such a wonderful creative bunch. Thank you kindly to the organization of this great contest! Over &-Out

Ilford HP5 Plus 400. Developed in Tetenal Paranol S

Rather stylish all-in-one unit.

The Commodore PET 2001 Series keyboard evokes the tech landscape of the late 1970s and early 1980s, a nod to the eras burgeoning computing revolution found in pop culture references like Princes Computer Blue.

I have 3 boxen at work. Two Dell P3 600's and a G3 Mac. Hardly pushing the envelope but as the development server is a 16 processor Sun box the desktop is not really a problem. The Windows box is mainly used for testing in IE and Eclipse (which I only use as a CVS client) plus stuff like Winamp and GAIM. The Mac is only used for testing IE Mac stuff and we are dropping support for that sooner or later. They share a monitor using a dual input switch but as we dont have a USB KVM anywhere handy there are separate mice and keyboards including a god awful puck mouse.

The linux machine is where I do my work. VIM (or several VIM's), and Firefox + Thunderbird and quite often the GIMP are open constantly plus about 3 or 4 terminal windows to different locations on different servers.

Its not a bad office. I traded in a lack of view from the window (which is pretty good as it looks towards the posh end of Bath over the river) for no one being able to see my screens. Handy that at times.

........ieri, camminando sulla tastiera, ha scritto:"iuuuuuuuuu8".......chissà cosa cercava, :-)))

after seeing the photo of 10mbyte computer it reminded me of a team of programmers I led in 1970. We had mini computers with 64 kilo bytes of memory. We wrote to operating system and applications to support 8+ users in assembler in re-entrant code. These minis were to be distributed around australia. Data storage was a 2mega byte removable disc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Amiga 500 was Commodore's best-selling model of Amiga.

The name "Amiga" is Spanish for "a female friend". Commodore wanted users to think of the computer as user-friendly, and indeed, the Amiga inspired a very ardent community of supporters that exist to this day.

I bought this camera 20 years ago, still works fine.

I saw this on Jon Hick’s flickr account. Very impressive and makes me want to get a mac even more. Who needs a pc anyway? It uses parallels to switch between the OS and is only $39 which is pretty good value in my opinion.

From Parallels website,”Parallels Desktop for Mac is an easy to use virtual machine which allows users to run Windows and other OSes in virtual containers directly on Mac OS X desktop. Use Windows applications without losing the functionality of your Mac - no rebooting required.”

We're going on vacation for a couple of weeks, so I won't be posting any more pictures until we get back. If I can get to use a computer while we're away, I'll try to check in as much as I can so that I don't miss any of your beautiful pictures. We're heading to the high part of the mountains of North Carolina to celebrate Jake's oldest sister's 103rd birthday. I'll probably take a zillion pictures while we're there, so be prepared for an onslaught when I get back. I'll miss you all. May the Lord keep you all safe while I'm gone.

This is not your grandma's computer. A 1.023 MHz processor with 128kb of RAM. 1-bit sound and a handsome 5.25 floppy drive, and another 5.25 external as a sidekick. It's playing SSI's "Computer Ambush", a tactical turn based strategy game that's squad vs. squad. You can buddy up with two people in front of this 9 inch screen or play the computer at your own leisure. It actually takes some really good reading to figure this game out as you don't necessarily see your enemies. It's a line of sight scenario, you never know where the enemies might pop up!

I'm a goof, computers always fascinate me. About the only one I'm not interested in is a branded Windows box. I love building new ones from New Egg though.

And you gotta love the green monochrome display or you have no heart!

I bought a MacBook, black. Just installed 2 GB RAM, now it's fast. Not really sure what I think of the keyboard yet. Only downside is that it gets really hot.
