Pondering the inevitable...

So in light of some figures and things put out by a bunch of people saying we're going to reach permanent climate change in 5 years I've come up with a list of things that I want to work on during that time because frankly I don't think people will change enough fast enough.

( So here's some of the things that I want to do: )

In summary:

1) Do what you need to do to become self-sustaining.

2) Do what you can for the people around you.

3) Teach what you have learned.


All that said...I'm not there yet. Not by a long shot. And some of that is going to take money I don't have yet. A lot of it can be done with reclaimed materials but quite a bit of it I'll have to outright pay for and it won't be cheap. Not if I want these things to last a long time anyway.

And then there's the whole problem of having a mortgage...

And my G5 iMac just dumped again...

So I was cloning the hard drive on my one G5 iMac so I could swap it out and then be able to properly render video for a non-profit my wife and I are involved in but the darn thing just had the power supply fail. Again. (It's done this once before.)

Now I have the old one here that I might be able to swap parts and get it back up and running but there might be a batter idea: http://ds5.org/3618

That guy has simply converted the wires on the ATX power supply to plug into the G5 iMac. I have ATX power supplies and the proper connectors so I might just do that swap myself.

All that aside of course this happens when I'm still re-arranging the workshop. Go figure. :-/
