For those who are in Melbourne Australia, this coming Sunday (2/08) is the Computer Swap meet at the Darebin Community Sports Stadium, located at 857 Plenty Rd, Reservoir. Opening times are usually 10am to 3pm. As well as the usual vintage computer displays, the swap meet will be doing some vintage computer and parts sales/swaps as well. I'll be there, displaying some computers as well as selling some stuff #retrocomputing

I had a good vintage meet today, I took along consoles as the organiser wanted something as well as having retro computers.
Both the OG Xbox and US SNES worked fine all day. I even made a profit today selling off a computer and a laptop!

Winter is here, the weather is cold and wet.

Orchard: It's the perfect time to flower!

Sadly I wasn't successful with a job interview I went to last week. A shame, but got some feedback so I know where I wasn't matching expectations.
That being said, I really need to move on from my current job. Today's all staff was just AI, AI and AI and I was pretty sickened by it, as well as other things like making the support team more of a dev team since the dev team are always complaining about the lack of resources. Since my planned escape route has been shut, so I need to start throwing out the feelers.

@mike@social.chinwag.org Bloody awful :(

@mike@social.chinwag.org Ah nice, Death in Vegas. Their best of album is one of my favourites

@mike@social.chinwag.org I guess "Bloody awful bouncy ride" doesn't really work. I hate how bouncy the OG X'Traps are. Whoever's idea was to use a massive coil spring inside of air bags like the rest of the Melbourne fleet needs to be hit repeatedly

Here's a newer flyer with some additional information.

@voltagex@aus.social At the moment I haven't heard anything from the committee. However it was raised as a major concern after last year's exhibition as there wasn't much of an effort.

@mike@social.chinwag.org No registration for the Saturday, just rock up. You can donate some money if you want, but it is optional. The Sunday is an invite only, but nothing has been posted in the Canberra group about how they are handling it.

All Canberrians, and people who want to travel to Canberra in July, the Canberra Vintage Computer Exhibition is back on this year, on Saturday the 19th of July. There will be an invite only day on the Sunday, however there's no details yet on it.

Come along and see vintage computers and video game consoles, as well as talks and round table discussions. And me :)

This year it is being hosted at another school, details can be found in the attached image.
