Friday, January 9th, 2015 New Year's to-do list ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't usually make New Year's resolutions, because there is no better way how not to do something, than making it a New Year's resolution. But there is some computer-related stuff I would like to do in 2015, so I made this short to-do list: 1. Complete the PC I mentioned in December to working stage, install all drives available (floppy drives, JAZ, ZIP, tape) and make backup of all media in my collection, that are worth it. 2. Reinstall both operating systems on PowerMac G5. I have to reinstall OS X, because something is broken beyond repair and iPhoto is destroying every edited photo. And I have to reinstall Linux, because Debian it has systemd. PowerPC virtualization under Linux would be fun too. 3. While experimenting with operating systems on PowerPC, resize OS X partition on my PowerBook G4 and put OpenBSD in the free space. It works well on this machine and is great OS. 4. Connect Apple Keyboard II to PowerMac G5. I simply love this keyboard and from what I have seen around the web, it should be possible. 5. After two years finally make my SGI Indigo2 work. I have to buy cable for connecting it to ordinary VGA display and I don't have keyboard and mouse as well. After getting these, I shall see whether it works and boots. 6 Finish at least one utility on ZX Spectrum and release it. In 2014 I wrote NMEA protocol parser, but never connected a real GPS hardware. And there is other unfinished stuff, I even have some code that hasn't been touched since 2005. 7. Write a gopher client. Everybody is writing own gopher servers, we even have more active server projects, than actively maintained gopher holes. Now it's time for a client - for which platform is to be decided. Seven points on the list, twelve months, three hundred sixty five days. I hope I will finish at least half of this list, because otherwise it will be just another New Year's resolution. And I don't do these.
