Computers (General): October 2007 Archives

   Once I got around to it, it was easy to find a free VNC server for my G3 server. I've been using it for about an hour now without any problems. It doesn't mess with the other server programs running on it or anything.
   Hopefully, I'll be able to work on some things that I've been neglecting now. I won't have to break out a monitor and keyboard/mouse just to get on the Server.
   I don't know why I haven't used VNC server/clients before. I suppose I never really bothered to find out what it could do. Quite neat.

   I forgot to mention but the operation was a success. I now have a switch from a computer hooked up to it. I'm glad it was just a generic switch and not something fancy.
   I don't have it situated in there great yet. In fact, it is held in with some double-sided tape (I couldn't find my super-glue at the time). I do plan on getting back in there to affix it in a more permanent fashion.

   I'm going to attempt to fix my Newton 2100's power button in a couple of minutes. I hope that it will be something obvious with an easy-enough fix. If not, I'll think of something.
   Taking the back off the Newton is an easy enough feat since I've done it many a times before. I just hope that I don't mess something up and turn it into a useless brick. I doubt that I can do anything wrong, though.
   Wish me luck...
