Apparently the original art work for this illustration is up for sale on eBay:
www.ebay.com/itm/JOSEPH-CHRISTIAN-LEYENDECKER-The-Inland-...
and it looks like there are many changes from what may be the original drawing and what ended up being printed, including a change from the initial letter N to O. Interesting that something like this appears after 119 years.
So it's been a while since I checked in from the Ubuntu installs at the library. Life intervened in a ton of ways. I went back over to the library today. I spent most of my time helping a Ukranian woman wade through the 250 emails in her inbox spanning almost two years. Every time she'd see a lost job opportunity or a note form a friend from eight months ago she'd say "see, this is why I have to know this, I lose work not knowing this..." I had to agree to a point but also mentioned that checking her email -- however that needed to happen -- more than once every 18 months was probably part of it.
So, I was in prime form when I went downstairs to check on the Ubuntu machines. The handyman had installed the ethernet drop from upstairs and I had limited time. This is what I did in about 20 minutes.
- made basic user accounts on each machine and changed the password to the admin accounts from the one I put on the YouTube video
- Made a desktop for that account that has firefox and open office on it (for now, we'll move to games and IM once this is established as working)
- Plugged both computers into the switch I got. Hey check that out, they're on the internet. That was simple.
- Plugged the printer into one of them (HP 6100 series all on one blah) and went through the install printer routine. Hey look IT JUST WORKS, and prints.
Now one of the machines prints, both of them are on the internet, they've got a non-admin account on both of them and a locked down admin account. Next time I'll do software updates and get the other printer working via the network, flesh out the desktops some and write some documentation. Woo!

I received an email from a coworker about a retiring professor trying to retrieve data off of old computers. Our central IT was unable to assist due to the age of the machines. The professor was trying to move files from a Mac OS X 10.2, 10.4, and NeXT computer. My heart skipped a beat after that reading that last one. Moving the vintage Mac files would be no problem because I keep those tools handy. I restore vintage Apple //, Macintosh, and other hardware as a hobby.
If you don't know what a NeXT computer is, it's this insanely expensive computer built by Steve Jobs after he was ousted from Apple in the 1980's. It ran Unix, had a gorgeous graphical user interface, and if you use OS X today it is still the foundational basis for the operating system. It was lightyears ahead of anything else out there at the time. Have you ever visited a website before? The first webpage was served on a NeXTcube.
I've never seen a working NeXT computer before though. I saw one in Berlin in a museum and read about them extensively, but I had no idea that our university actually had them.
I immediately went to the professor's office and he showed me what he was trying to do. We talked a little bit about vintage hardware and I told him that I'd never seen a working NeXT before. I was a little hesitant to respond because day-to-day we're flooded with tickets IT support isn't really my thing. Sometimes users, especially tenured professors, need a delicate approach because of their demands. This person could not have been more affable, kind, and good hearted. After talking a while he said he would rather have the hardware saved than go to scrap per university policy.
In the interest of archiving his data and this magnificent hardware I will be cooperating with him to save this NeXT computer. I've also agreed to save the Mac Cube and Power Macintosh G3. Twist my arm. They'll become archive computers if anyone needs a WordPerfect 3.5 file converted. Yes, people still have those.
I decided to document everything in place before moving it all to a secure location. That includes the NeXT computer, original manuals, flyers, software, printers, accessories, and even the original boxes.
The plan is to document EVERYTHING in detail. So stay tuned for future updates.

So cool to have @utclibrary and @griffey here working on their Rostock build. Will they have a 3D printer built by the end of the day? Stay tuned!
