I went to Steamtown on Saturday with some friends for Railfest. I posted some pictures.
Updated wordpress to the latest version after being lazy for a while.
It didn’t go quite as smooth as the previous upgrade, so please tell me if anything seems broken.

Posted the pictures I took on the “Nostalgia Train” excursion to Far Rockaway. Just a photo dump, no editing except for size.
The trip started from 57 St/7 Av on a set of R1/9 cars. We then proceeded to Queens Plaza to get on the E line so we could go down Eighth Av into Brooklyn. There was a brief stop at Court Street (the NYCT museum; yes we rode right into the museum), then headed to Rockaway Park. If you stayed on the train, you would have gone to Far Rockaway and back across the bay before going back to Rockaway Park.

I posted the pictures I took of the IRT City Hall station. The tour was given by the New York City Transit Museum on March 15, 2008.
I’ll have to touch up the pictures at some point, most of them are really dark (the station’s lighting isn’t the best).
I upgraded the gallery to the latest. Tell me if anything is broken.
Deferred maintenance isn’t a good thing. Upgraded Wordpress to 2.5.1. Please tell me if anything is broken.
I’ll try to post a little more often, but not tonight because it’s time for bed.
I was just given a Mac Plus (with 4 MB RAM, it’s max). It currently has a 20 MB external disk. Would anyone be willing to give up a bigger disk (I’d really like 40 MB; it’s external 25 pin SCSI) or System 7 install disk so I could really trick this box out?
It’s been a while since I last updated, which I think is because I started a full time job (as a Sys Admin at Rutgers) and I’m finishing up my last two classes of my undergraduate career (yes, it’s take long than I wanted). I think it’s also because I use twitter, which is a nice way of putting down random comnent instead of a full blow post that tends to get long winded to fill out space. I put a feed of my twitter thing on the left. Feel free to follow me if you want.
Anyway, I’ve managed to purchase a Sun Blade 2000 (specs are in the Systems tab), which has become my main desktopy workstation (I think I’m a sucker for the glowing Sun logo on the front). (Yeah, I know I could get a better x86 machine, but I don’t want to)
Erlang has once again has come up and peaked my interest. I got the Joe Armstrong book a few weeks ago and managed to compile erlang for Solaris/SPARC today (I’ve had it working on my iBook for a while now, but the previously mentioned Blade 2000 is a much nice machine to program on (read: it’s got a big screen)). If you need it for Solaris 10/SPARC, send me a message.
If anyone needs a SCSI CD drive with 512 byte blocks, I have two (maybe three) spare XM-4101B (those are the 1″ drives found the in the SPARCstation 4, 5 and 20). Price of shipping is all I ask (of course, you can always just meet up with me).

To some, this may seem stupid, but I must say, it’s the small things that count and make a product really nice.
