2005-04-16 Network Gear

Lots of stuff today, first a pile of networking gear including nice ethernet cables, a 10/100 8-port switch and some other assorted stuff. Pics shows some of it:

A pile of assorted junk including some tools, PC memory, AC adaptors, valid credit cards, driving license, silver cigarette case and other rubbish. Not sure what we will do with all this but the shears make great credit card choppers, lots of leverage. We may laugh at people for throwing this stuff away but we are not so unkind as to let their stupidity enable ID theft.

2005-04-16 Books

Two books, a photographers guide thingy and an O'Reilly pocket guide to Oracle crud. I think the photo book will form some nice present for some teenage family member and the O'Reilly guide for some colleague who has to deal with the horrors of Oracle against their will.

2005-04-10 Mystery Cookware

Cast iron tray thingy for cooking some thing that we are not quite sure about. Eggs maybe? Suggestions please. Maybe you will even win the thing if you come up with a plausible enough answer? Shown here:

2005-04-10 Muffin Tins

Cast iron muffin thingies. We have no immediate use for these so one went to a neighbour and a couple more to a friend on permanent loan. Pic of the two we cleaned up for the colleague:

2005-03-22 iMac

iMac 400MHz, in full working order with OS-9 installed (is that an oxymoron?). Pic possible to appear but you know what these things look like by now.

2005-03-22 Mini Bike

Stupid miniature bike thingy that was in need of a chain. We hence procured a chain and proceded to ride the thing around to try to figure out the purpose for which it was built. We have so far failed in this quest? Everybody please, why does this thing exist?? Shown below being ridden by 7 month pregnant woman, but I fail to accept that this is its intended purpose.

2005-02-26 iMac

One 400MHz iMac missing HD and memory, What a shame. It is the disgusting blueberry colour though so I am not very predisposed towards this thing to start with. May form part of a job lots of mac junk for sombody

2005-02-26 Small Pan

One small all-clad , sans lid, from the LTD range of pans. In OK condition, needed cleaning. Now a happy member of our kitchen.

2005-02-26 Dell PC

One small form factor Dell PC, missing a hard drive. I had a special request for crappo machines plus parts from an acquantaince the other week so this will be great for that. It is a Pentium 3, socket style, but is super low end. After putting in a new (old) cdrom knoppix booted ok, all the various hardware checks out. This and a pile of parts will be handed over at some stage.
