Wie ben ik en alles wat nergens anders past
So, today, Juel walks in, sees the object in the picture below:
and asks “What the crap is THAT?? And what does it do??”. Without missing a beat, I put on this song, and this one at the same time, and type the following, 100% true conversation:
that is mad max,.
the fan was one mm too high for the case,.
this is how we solved it.
well
let me tell you.
the specs were set by a hungarian engineer who flew here twice to design and build it.
the unit was assembled with an on site consultory supervision by the md of cloud computing of a huge bank in the us
i also had him hang up shelves.
there was another guy who also made a shelf but we ended up not using it.
the cutout of the top was done by a professional steelworker, who misunderstood our request and used !a drill instead of a plasma cutter.
i know
that would have been so! cool!
imma post this as a blog btw
ok.
then
the elevation was designed by a ph.d. in physics who spends his days looking for nanometers
nottomention, the invaluable support from his polish girlfriend
and her mother
and her daughter
the ph.d. also did the first coat of paint
then, my sister flew in from new zealand
to alternate between sanding and spraying for three days straight
that is one hundred layers of yellow paint, my dear.
could you grab my phone from the study and make some cute pics of the thing?
ok!
ill continue.
so.
the mount was made by a professional welder who screwed the screwholes the wrong way around
luckily we werent screwed, paul found a way around it.
then
last night
my best friend paul put it all together
including ups
because zoe has learned the unplugthepowercord trick
to answer your question, what it is
it boots in eight seconds
it runs windows ten
it has one of the fastest i5’s on the market
runs on literally half the power of a lightbulb
and it
never
ever
makes me wait.
still
the cpu in Iris’ macbook has just a teensy bit of a higher score on passmark.
damn it.

Hello, dear reader. ALS is currently incurable, but I’ll be fucked if I’m taking this lying down. I’m also trying to be realistic about this, but still, a bit of a battle does a person good every now and then. The fight I’m fighting is summed up pretty neatly here in this video (februari 2014).
There are a few ways you can help out with a small donation:
Henrik has joined the ride to defeat ALS. You can help out by sponsoring him.
The biggest genome research project known to date. My biggest bet that we’ll find the cause. Once that is known, we at least know what we’re shooting for.
Of course, the big constant factor is the Dutch Stichting ALS; they welcome your annual donation; small or big.
Are you participating in a something, or do you know a good cause? Mail Garmt on [xyz-ihs snippet=”mailto”] or use the contact form.
My friend who’s really on top of the fight is Bernardus Muller and you can find him on https://twitter.com/BernardusMuller. His twitter feed is the best place to hear what’s going on with ALS. If anything can be done or if we or someone else have managed to achieve something, you’ll hear about it from him first.
Fill it out and just press send.
