Episode Date: April 14, 2025

We will install Compaq EVO 510 OS on an IDE to Compact Flash

Good morning everyone. It is now 529 Today's Monday the work week. My work week is every day. I'm always working even on my Sundays yesterday. I was working doing stuff Today's for April the 14th 2025 So it's like my project journey man nightly Kicked out early last night around five, I think I got five hours in. Not sure why it does that, but once in a while, the signal goes out and then after a while it just kicks out.

Been trying to do a TikTok live feed as well, but that doesn't stay on that long. I haven't quite figured that one out either, so maybe because I'm doing both live feeds, they're kicking out, but we'll try. We'll do it at nightly. So it's my routine, so we'll keep it trying we do it a nightly So it's my routine so we'll keep it going then just goes off when it goes off So yesterday I worked on oh, yeah my IBM

5150 really excited. I took some more time and Switched around the DI dip switches and Now with the other two motherboards I figured out which one was switch one which one switch two so I had it correct and then I got some codes on my screen and that's without even looking at the other two motherboards yet and I had pulled all the RAM I just so I just had the soldered bank one bank zero rather and it looks like I think it works now I gotta get the, it's got a keyboard error

301 it says, that's what my buddy Zippy said. So put the keyboard in there, see if we get the screen and then I can go backwards and we can go forwards and add RAM back to the rails to find out where my issue is and also can at some point we'll test the other words as well But it was required taking apart everything so I'm not really sure how I'm gonna do that yet We'll figure it out, but it's fun to have two extra ones I learned a lot having those other ones and those ones have different components Compared to ones the ones I have on mine

But the all three of them are the same model to the newer version motherboard with the two dip switches on them. So that makes it great to have three to play around with and I'll try to test the other parts. Anything that will be removed will mess around with them too at some point. So yesterday all 360 I had I found six more of my Nitec fans in the 360 fats So we took an hour and pulled them all out. It's great to get them all out now that way I'm long

I'm a step ahead. So when order comes in I'm not sitting there wasting another half hour So trying to pull one or are we pulled they just need to be cleaned Of course, you've seen how dirty they can be inside there, but they're easily cleaned. Some of them take a little bit longer than the other. You can use a toothbrush that'll help too when they're really really dirty. I used to use a lot with the Xbox One X 1787, that big fan inside inside there I used to use a toothbrush for that one that was a really easy way to an easier not easy but easier way to clean that fan inside that thing sometimes those are real nasty too all fans are usually pretty gross after a while okay so let's see We have this moment here. Let's check the news today. We were doing something else today

Not sure. Well again, I always try to mix it up and only do One thing a day and then move on to something else. I may go back to I'm not sure where I'm going. I was looking at the Last of Us 2. They said there's a major change from the game. I wonder if that is that scene. I don't want to know. Nobody tell me because I want to learn. I'm going to watch it.

But if you know Last of Us 2, I always say that scene in the game is just brutal. And I don't think it's, it sounds like they didn't follow that script. So they must've, maybe they kept him around somehow, other than not. But I only started watching a little of The Last of Us. I really liked Fallout. That was awesome. Everything about it, all the Fallout, I was really liked fallout that was awesome everything

about all the fallout was really into all of it the characters everything was freaking awesome I was so bummed when it ended first series I've watched in a very long time all the way to the end however last of us 2 I wasn't really too keen on the two characters that they put in there the actors is. So it kind of turned me off a little bit and I just really couldn't get into it. But we may go back and try it. It's not going anywhere. So now it's actually better that now I have season one and two together. So now I can watch all of them together. Which is actually more fun. Better to wait. Alright so let's see what's going on. Is's anything in the news this morning. That's the normal things that are usually happening daily.

So we're on a new work week, like I said. Today I got some orders. I don't have many, but I got a few. Let's see if we have any from overnight. And I'll finish doing those orders. And then we'll pick something. Oh, I really got to get to the Panasonic Gamecube

Queue there that I have that I got all the other parts for it and then you list them All right, so let's look at Etsy. So maybe we'll go look at that today Listing new stuff is always a good thing But it's good. it's get motivated. I Have really been on a roll of listing stuff in a while All right, so same as Sega Dreamcast. So now I'm on Etsy. I always go there first one order Sega Dreamcast Button the power button that connects to the power board sold so many of so thousands of those

Hundreds was to the whole in hundreds of those so I only have a few left again another one of those things where Not getting any more systems in for For a while or for not forever, but for a while Only unless my YouTube will pay off, but it still has not happened so Unless my YouTube will pay off, but it still has not happened. So when I run out of these, I'm out. Party's almost over on these two. I'll maybe have three or four left. That's about it.

So I always say that the party's over. I just run out of something. That's it. Especially if it's been something really good that I've sold a lot of. And then I'm out of them. So it's kind of like a party ending, pretty much. That's why I say that all the time.

It's kind of silly. But everything I do is kind of silly anyway so let's see we're on RSS feed I usually average about one download a day but it's multiple downloads for that one time I think so that's exciting I just like seeing it going all over the world. I think that's just outstanding. Although last time I had no downloads, so that's a bummer. I had a couple ups and then I went down. So still pretty cool.

India, Russia, Canada, Canada, those are from a couple days ago pretty exciting again it's always my message in a bottle over the internet ocean I can't really I will add some more stuff but just consistently just doing the early morning one kind of gets me up and trying to talk about where my day's going alright let's check out my YouTube. Let's see where we're at. Yeah, my feed ended last night. I'm not sure why. But I just let it run. Oh, so we're at 33,000

123 subscribers. New achievement says you're crushing it. You've achieved 15,000 hours of watch time keep up the awesome work So lots of hours watched and unfortunately at the end of the day as we do every day estimated revenue $29.02 so like all the extra hours I put in for project journeyman all the extra hours I put in for Project Journeyman for 462 views last night but it ended really early for some reason, I don't know why

let's see how long it lasted, 5 hours 36 minutes it must have went off I might have had a better night last night too, I wonder why it went off on me and then the night before ended at 10 hours 56 58, I usually will I will let it run all night so there must be a connection problem causing it to shut off I'm not sure but so we had on for a while so we'll go back in go through the hours that it stayed on I'm not shutting it off it's just shutting off on its own and I'm sleeping so I'm not shutting it off. It's just shutting off on its own and I'm sleeping so I'm not seeing it it probably needs to reconnect the signal or

Something like that and I don't do it and then after a while it just shuts off That's probably what it does. I said we'll add that to I call that slumber I'll repost it but so we've gone over 33,000 subscribers Comments on Sanny And let's So we'll add that yeah, then I repost it as slumber each night, and then I do I repost This as a podcast when this is done a little while

Try to be consistent on what I do each day, pretty much. Slumber. So, pretty fun though. Again, things are still growing, so that's so cool. And so that pretty much covers me 24-7. I'm on YouTube at some point. Unless my, obviously my feed kicked off so I didn't quite do the whole overnight thing. But we still got some few hours in there. It seems like I'm getting more views a little bit so that's pretty cool.

By nightly I upgraded my sound so I've got a dual rain sounds going on. I gotta get another plug for that other one. I have two sound machines that have rain and then I have a separate sound machine with a mood, a calming mood and so it's a combination of the two. So it's all, so it makes, that's what I've always slept with anyway, is those. Of course now I have the lights on and I have to wear a mask. I have my frog mask on right now. I have a couple of masks coming in what do I got coming in oh one is Mickey Mouse anything with a silly mask sleep

sleeping mask talking about one is hello kitty something I could find and then the ones another one with eyes and another one so those would be in so that's cool so then again I changed the mood each night meaning the lighting changes I had no signal on right now I have a little projector that I had forever and I didn't use it but I don't know if it works through the HDMI but we're gonna put some some wording some sort of scrolling wording maybe probably through the night but I haven't quite figured

out what that is yet you know use my buddy Zippy I have a Raspberry Pi 5 we're gonna do some sort of coding and some sort of a scrolling something something nightly as opposed I was doing audio in the beginning I did the first nine episodes one through nine. It's got audio But then I decided that was enough of that Because you kind of get it you can go back and I have one through nine as a as a podcast So if you want to review the audio for one through nine gives you a little backstory of what we're doing looking for the supernatural going inside there trying to find stuff and

supernatural going inside there trying to find stuff and quantum you can quantum entangle with me as I call it maybe we'll meet so fun stuff like that because my dreams at night are just wild wild wild places I go it's pretty interesting I wish I could show them somehow put something on my head that would show my dreams on the screen or something that would be pretty cool, but obviously that's not gonna happen. We'll make something To that to that idea Spurv right now is just no signal because it's just on but it's it's not doing anything Yeah, but it is on and I put a little filter over it. I just happen to have a Looks like a rock band

I just happen to have a, looks like a rock band filter colors. So I used different colors last night. I used blue over my new signal. And then I had the rope in the back of my bed that I can change all the color palettes to just about any color. I tried pink last night but it really didn't come out pink. Red blue, orange, no red blue and green are the really bright colored ones. Purple's not too bad. There's another off, there's another off blue. I'm going to try that one tonight. It's like an aqua blue, so we'll do that one tonight. Again, and now it's just my routine.

And I still sleep as good as I slept before, if not more. Sleep mask took a few minutes, took a little while to get used to. The frog one I have now is really tight and heavy so. And then when it gets really hot out so I don't know if I'm going to do that because my air conditioning is right behind my head so. I don't know if we'll be able to do it then but we'll figure it out. Alright so we're at eBay. I see three things popping up. Let's see. Let's check my feedback.

As described by shipping. That's all I asked for. I did get my first neutral feedback for no reason. Which is a real bummer. Alright, messages. Hey, do you have the top half? Another listing... PS3

So no, I know I can list top halves I can list the top half Or and also, an empty set. Oh, oh, top half. So first, my top halves are stripped down. It would be empty of anything that comes off.

anything that comes off. I sold most of those parts off everyone I have. I have... Sorry, top halves. Of any that comes off. I will... List those... those empty ones. Empty ones. I'll list those for the 7-9.

All one. for the 7901 first in black or silver. So everything on the top cover is a really good seller. Little parts, lots of fun parts on the top of a PS2. That's a PS2, we're talking PS2 Slim. Again, most things I usually start with the top and bottom covers. And usually I sell lots of fun stuff over those. I want to order for the button set. I got more of those, I got more of those. This is for the Sega Genesis.

It's the 1631, that top cover. I sell the button set, there's two buttons, the power reset and then there's a little LED cover. So I sold my last one, but I think I definitely have more of those around. I don't know where they are, but I'll figure it out. So I was like, that's it for this morning. So let's see what else we got going on here.

Yeah, bum my feed went off earlier last night. It's like I almost had the most watches I had and it's only half the time. So, but again we'll keep consistently to keep doing it so. I'll have to do taxes. Oh yesterday I helped a guy, my neighbor. Took him about three and a half hours, no about two and a half hours. We went to, I picked him up, went to Walmart, got him a TV. I remember the TV's pretty cheap high-sense

Roku tv Looks pretty cool Uh two or three in a box 58 inch you got you got a 15 inch so we had to go get it at walmart I had to we brought we brought and I used my truck and then we um, then I set it up for him, but he obviously helped me to get out of the box and pull down the TV that was in there. I had given him that TV before.

All that and then I had to do the whole setup and you had to use your phone, but I had to use his phone. So it was a whole process to do it. I did all of it. He just kind of sat there. Made a few bucks. He gave me a few bucks for helping him out for a couple hours. But it looks cool.

And he wanted Hulu TV so he could get live TV. So that's what he did. So that's where we're at. That was my day. That's what I stopped midday and that's what I was doing over there. Trying to do a good deed for the day. I don't mind helping out. I made a few bucks so that's cool.

Again, it was pretty easy stuff. And still the TV I took down I'm gonna re-put back on the wall downstairs in his other room but my day was done then I was like that's enough for today. Got him all set up, got him all his hulu hooked up he's got prime TV. Prime is really cool, Prime's got some good stuff on Prime that's one of the best. It's actually been in Netflix he's just got lots of stuff but not really that good stuff prime is really cool and max is cool too all right so I had some views average

durations only 35 seconds people come in for a second that's my downfall I guess you could say my bugaboo is my time for people to come in, which is very, very short. The average is 39 seconds. Let's see. Let's look at the analysis for a second. My top one is my life in a double shave. That one came up good.

I put $57 as a promotion for that one. My 57th birthday. So that got me up to 5,881 views. Again, the average duration was 40 seconds. And then my YouTube creator wish list. That got me 4,939 subscribers average duration 32 seconds just And then after that it goes down with the

So, let's see So those I get for this morning, I might be an early podcast, so I'll see, oh, where are the 20 minutes? I can easily ramble and update what the morning's like in 20 minutes. I think that's about it for today. Alright, so we'll find something new, project to do. Oh, you know what I got in my extender cable. From, I want to take my two Windows 98, or it's going to be Windows XP, early desktops and we're going to do it compact flash to IDE.

So I got one ready to go. I just got to, I needed an extender and I came in so we'll do some vintage computing later on today. That's what we'll do. But not as vintage as the IBM 5150. So we'll also call it computing later on today. That's what we'll do but not as vintage as as the IBM 5150 So we'll so called mid vintage. So we got the early got the early vintage IBM 5150 and you got like the mid Vintage we'll call it and which is around 90 windows 98 90. Yeah, 95 98 That's about what the era like

Obviously this is when I grew up it so it's just to play games and all that. And just to redo. Okay. Alright, so you guys have a good afternoon, and I will talk to you tomorrow. Alright, bye.
