To throw my thoughts about Steve Jobs into the ether. Thank you Steve. I’m just months younger then you where. When I was just out of high school and trying to find my way, you where seeing a vision of the future in Wozniak hands. I too, saw the vision of a world filled with electronic things assisting learning and communications. It was an APPLE ][ (serial number 00001094) that showed me the way.

This is just a quick not to myself on a quick / minimal CentOS 6.0 install. CentOS 6.0 has a great MINIMAL install that is truly minimal. It doesn’t ask you for you network info or anything. So, there are a few step to setting it up. I also install lots of VMware systems so I’ve included the VMware tools as well. The first that that needs configuring is the network so we can do an update.

Hello my old friend. I spotted this VW on the way to work today. It is almost exactly like my first car. I have many stories about that car. Like, when the battery died and I had to push start it for months. About how I jumped an embankment and smashed its nose. About how I rebuild the engine with the help of a great book. I remember all the girls I made out with.

I found this on my book shelf. I remember teaching people how to use it. When I purchased this copy in 1981, I was working as a software developer. I believe this is the program that turned microcomputers from toys to business computers. Before VisiCalc business and government agencies though of microcomputers as toys. After VisiCalc was discovered by insurance analysts business and government agencies where sneaking Apple ][ Computers into their purchases as “Calculators”.

Ok. I’m having trouble making a photo a day but I’m trying. Found on Route 66.

Makers making. These are pictures of a home made CNC system being demonstrated at OHM Space.
