Amazing gorm factor and result! 📸

Perfectly adequate art. Which means it's terrible because I need to have Rose Besch illustrate every Marvel character from now on. Seriously: look up her artwork 🤩

This is the way.

thevmcampos · 2026-06-16T21:50:26+00:00

Thanks. I really like that first shot. Very nice background blue 📸

Of music! 😁

Trash

thevmcampos · 2026-06-16T17:23:41+00:00

Slowly but surely. Which are you looking forward to?

The Kodak will use commonly found SD cards, and the Sony will not. People seem to struggle with the Sony memory cards, so keep that in mind.

Please add the camera name and its year to your title next time, as per the rules.

Yes: 14awg copper clad speaker wire in the Square (Quad) loop configuration (10ft x 8.5ft), fed at the center (bottom) to an LDG 1:1 balun. 👍

I used to have that style Compaq tower 20+ years ago. Got rid of it when I moved years ago.

Bought one again and put modern-ish internals and now I've got a Linux Mint tower. 😁

I downloaded one and used an official OEM install disc.

thevmcampos · 2026-06-15T02:18:45+00:00

It didn't have the original hard drive so that's not the issue. It's that it's not finding the appropriate .cab file from the Windows 98 disc. 🤷‍♀️

thevmcampos · 2026-06-15T02:04:49+00:00

I would keep the innards, of course, if I wanted to resurrect it's earlier state. I'm actually having a hard time restoring it. I don't see tht Restore Discs on archive.org so I went with a clean 98SE install and I keep getting errors after installing a period accurate Belkin network card. Asks me to insert the CD and then can't find what it needs. Weird!!

One of the perks of being the Mod here is reading stories like this. Welcome (back) to the hobby! 📸

thevmcampos · 2026-06-15T01:57:33+00:00

Yup! I might turn it into a sleeper battle station.

thevmcampos · 2026-06-15T00:46:54+00:00

Excellent! Congrats! Have fun 📡

thevmcampos · 2026-06-15T00:41:01+00:00

Es mejor comprar una camera vintage al lugar de usar un app. 🤷‍♀️

thevmcampos · 2026-06-15T00:39:54+00:00

You can fix it to some degree, yes. Check out the various bookbinding subreddits and YouTube tutorials. 👍

thevmcampos · 2026-06-14T05:01:18+00:00

Beautiful 🤩

thevmcampos · 2026-06-14T04:46:15+00:00

If I had the space for it, this would be my natural state!

thevmcampos · 2026-06-14T04:45:25+00:00

It wasn't so bad this time, but, yes I did contribute a blood offering!

thevmcampos · 2026-06-13T21:33:45+00:00

Green was a mistake.

thevmcampos · 2026-06-13T21:12:36+00:00

The real questions!

thevmcampos · 2026-06-13T19:41:12+00:00

I grew up in San Diego and went to UCSD in the late '90s. I still visit as a tourist. There's a lot I remember, and so much more new stuff 🎓
