C64 will never die!

If you thought C64 is a museum relic from the 80's you were mistaken.
I've been drooling over some Commodore 64 add on cards for a couple of years now. Namely Retro Replay and MMC64 both by Individual Computers. Now the guys at IC have combined the 2 in to a single device called MMC Replay and the price is reduced.
I could not resist anymore, and so I finally ordered it and a clear blue cartridge to fit it in. I guess it payed of to wait. I also ordered a 4GB SDhc card for all my C64 games and software.

Like in the past C64 was the leading edge of technology and my C64 will be the first computer to have a solid state hard drive in my collection. Talk about keeping up with the times, baby!

I also have to make 2-3 cables to hook up my C64 using S-Video for the first time.
This requires 2 different cables for 2 different inputs. 1 with the normal mini-DIN "S-Video" connector and the other with BNC for use with my Lumagen HDQ. I'll make a regular composhit cable just incase I take my new Commodore "gaming console" with me and an S-Video input is not guaranteed.
I'll try to write a Retroruuvaus article once I have the hardware in place.

Cat6 all the way

I got all the network wiring done. Now I have dedicated cat6 lines for my xeox media center, wife's laptop, Topfield PVR with NSLU2 and Lumagen's com port with rj45 adapters :D
The recessed wall sockets came out nice, they look like someone who actually knows what their doing installed them.
MediaLounge has HDMI sockets but I haven't seen any HDMI cable for sale but this is giving me ideas... maybe I'll run HDMI in side the walls.
The antenna outlet for the Topfield is also installed. Now I only need to replace the "wire hack" in the living room with a real chainable antenna socket and make the whole installation look professional.

OK! OK! U got me!

I confess!
I have a life.
Yes! I know. It's shocking and disappointing to others but hey what can I say. I have a wife, 2 kids and a new house.
Time to update this site is non existing. I barely have time for the mandatory projects that would end up on this site. No time to fiddle. That's the state of affairs at this point in time.
I'll try to set up a system so that I can write stories and add pictures from work if I have a slow day, like today.
There are a couple of interesting things in the "back log" that I could and try to post a story on.
Stay tuned.
