Quick note. | |
The sun machine has gone down and we're not going to have a | |
party... Yeah, feeling kinda rushed due to the upcoming | |
departure of Sunday and the pending arrival of Monday | |
morning. I did quite a bit today, but would like more time | |
to do more. | |
I did get to work on my device charging rotation, and with | |
that, I decided to take some pictures. I have seen others | |
post their collections online and finally had some time to | |
round them up and take some proper pictures. | |
This is a picture of my handheld PDA devices.[1] I put | |
them in a shadow box for the picture, but unsure if I | |
will keep them there. My original plan a few years ago was | |
to build or acquire a display case and add charging and | |
monitoring, but I took an easier route and cobbled together a | |
ghetto charging cart. The shadow box route might be | |
something to consider, but I need to ruminate on it more. | |
For some reason, I have a thing for shadow boxes from second | |
hand stores or garage sales. I have a few in my garage that | |
still need a purpose. This might be it. Here is a picture | |
of the devices in the shadow box closed [2] | |
Aside from the Gemini PDA, most are older devices that run | |
PalmOS, Linux, Windows Mobile, or GEOS. I should label them | |
all, but perhaps another time. I'd also like to put my notes | |
about each device on gopher...which is currently a work in | |
progress.[3] | |
Here is a picture of my current ghetto charging cart.[4] I | |
think it was originally a cart meant for crafting supplies or | |
something like that. It has 10 drawers that house the | |
devices and accessories. | |
Here is a side view of the cart. I have some kind of straw | |
runner covering the sides.[5] | |
Here is the top view. There is an old 1U 12 outlet power | |
distribution unit for charging, that I had to rewire since it | |
had a funny plug, a 10-port USB charger, my old CompUSA mouse | |
pad, and various devices being charged. It still looks messy | |
with all of the wires, but much cleaner than my previous | |
setup (or lack of.)[6] | |
I guess this wasn't such a quick note after all. | |
