Invisible and Violet are ready for Quake LAN!

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Another day of rushing to get things done, after getting my psychology homework done.

I setup the LAN equipment, and am proceeding to test each Mac to make sure nothing has changed from last year. So far, so good, even though I had a minor one-time glitch at the start. Other than that, I have put batteries into Invisible Boy and Violet Beauregarde (yeah, more names for my Mac systems, deal with it). Invisible Boy is my other original iMac, released way back in 1998. This unit is unmodified, so it is the slowest Mac on the LAN, running at a whopping 233 MHz. Violet Beauregarde is a blueberry colored iMac from 1999 (350 MHz), thus the reason for the name I gave this Mac.

Everything is testing great so far, with just 3 Macs to go (another iMac, and two B&W units). I hope to get at least the last iMac unit up and running on Monday.
