- Turn your Apple IIe into a Linux terminal
Filed under: Hacks, Tips and tricks, Apple, Retro Mac
As he even points out, this isn't the first time this has been done, but Quag7 has written up a very detailed, simple, and often hilarious (I feel the same way about Michael Bay!) guide for converting that old Apple ][e you've got sitting around into a Linux serial terminal. In this case, he runs a serial connection between a modern (everything is relative here) Gentoo distro and the ][e using ADTPro as a go-between. Hook up ADTPro on both, get the serial hooked up and running on both, install a term program on the ][e and then make sure everything can talk to each other (at 9600 baud-- remember baud? Oh those were the days), and voila, you've got an Apple ][e that can run a Linux distro. Why would you want to do this? No idea.
But why else do we do this kind of crazy stuff (like hook an Apple ][e up to a game machine, or even an actual Mac)? We do this, my friends, because we can.

Filed under: Humor, Odds and ends, Internet Tools, iPhone
Last Friday night was spent in my apartment (as it is once every month) tracking HP and rolling dice-- my D&D group came over to continue fighting our way through our latest campaign. And while we all have plenty of real dice to roll (kept in official Gen Con dice pouches, natch), sometimes you don't have your dice around, but you just need to roll a d20 anyway. For those times, there's D&D Roller, a dice roller for the iPhone.
Yup, just plug in how many of each die you want to roll (remember, to roll up ability scores, you roll 4d6 and ignore the lowest roll), and then hit "Roll," and you can see each die rolled as well as all the totals down the line. You'll never have to wonder how much damage you did against that Mind Flayer ever again!
D&D Roller: Just in case your iPhone was making you look a little too cool.

Filed under: Mods, Rig of the Week
This week's rig is another Cube mod. Reader bigtimeproducer has posted a picture of an Apple Cube case that has been stripped clean and retro-fitted with a Mac mini, external hard drive and an Airport Extreme. It looks cool, and probably gets a good wireless signal (seeing as the basestation is inches away).

If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool. Each Sunday we'll comb through the most recent entries and declare a "Rig of the Week!"Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Cool tools, Odds and ends, Apple, Leopard, Developer
Niclet sends a note that yes, Dashcode's December 2006 v0.9 beta did in fact expire as expected last night. That sound you heard around 12:01 am was actually widget developers everywhere crying out in pain.
Well, not exactly everywhere, as apparently there is still a working version of Dashcode in the Leopard developer beta given out at WWDC. And of course all of us will be able to get our hands on the official release of Dashcode when Leopard comes out in October. So cry not, developers-- the real thing is only months away.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Internet Tools, iPhone
Steven Frank (of Panic fame) was unsatisfied with iPhone's notes, so he decided to hack up a little iPhone optimized wiki called W2 to use instead. It actually runs server-side, so you'll need a web server with PHP. Once installed, however, it'll allow you cross-link, embed images, search, and even use Gruber's excellent Markdown syntax. And of course you should be able to access the wiki from other web browsers besides the iPhone.
If you've got access to a web server with PHP and want to give notes the boot, you may want to check out the W2 free download. Keep in mind that it "is a hack thrown together in just a few hours" with potential security problems, so you'll probably not want to keep your credit card numbers on there.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
