Toshiba T1000 Teardown

My favourite rare treat at Free Geek is taking apart unusual old equipment. (See e.g. Industrial Computer Teardown.) Forgive me for posting this stuff as frequently as I possibly can -- it's fun, it's interesting and I love writing about it.

Volunteer Who's Who, Take 1

One of the reasons I started this blog is because I wanted the volunteers to get to know each other, even if they volunteer on different days or only see each other occasionally. Being a geek by nature, however, it's a lot easier for me to talk hardware than people. It's taken me a few weeks to muster the courage to start what I hope will be a series of short interviews with volunteers around the place. I started with Kirby, who many of you will know from his usual post on Tuesdays at the build bench.

Building ThinkStations

We had a fleet of ThinkStations arriving into build fodder sometime last week and a number of them were built and ready for testing when I arrived at Free Geek today.

Thanks to this week's builders, they were a pleasure to give a final once-over, and a number of them went to the store for sale today. Good work, folks!

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but they have angry robot faces on the back.
