I'm sitting in front of my SGI O2 workstation, browsing Mastodon,
syncing my Plucker feeds, listening ORF Radio Wien on-line, and of
course writing this phlog.
In 2019 I updated, or prepared for update, most of my computing
environment. I have got an OpenPower (POWER9) workstation, I reduced
number of monitors on my desk (from 3 to 2), prepared new router (but
not connected it, yet), finally ceased to use a smartphone and so. I
also have hot a new Palm device - the Tungsten W and have started to
use it quite often.
There were also some unwanted changes - the HDD of my SGI Indy died and
the CD-ROM, too. At the moment it means that I'm not able to return
this system to live. It is unfortunate because this Indy was my first
non-x86 system and also my very first SGI. I'm still think that I
should have a spare HDD elsewhere but I have not found it, yet.
But the funny thing is that as my first desktop computer at the January
1st I have started not the POWER9 desktop nor the GPD Pocket or at
least am Apple PowerBook but my old good O2 (at the moment it is
probably the slowest working desktop computer that I have). It seem
that if will take a very long time before I will be able to switch from
SGI to POWER9 completely...
