Introducing Dirty Gerty

You know, I’ve GOT to be frank, it’s — occasionally — nice to be able to get retro, isn’t it?

It is.

And I’ll be frank, it’s nice to do that with the help of the neighbours.

Frankly, the young couple who live upstairs are moving out.

And let me have the G4 PowerMac their son had been using as a websurfing machine.

Personally … ?

I think I’d like to do a little reinstalling if I can find a copy of Mac OS X 10•4•x.

For the moment, however … ?

I haver managed to install the relevant versions of both HandBrake and vlc: simply by transferring the disc images over by booting the G4 in FireWire Target Disc Mode.

We’ll have to see if I can’t do SOMETHING with the old girl …

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
