Adding a Hard Drive to My PS2

Adding a Hard Drive to My PS2

I always kind of debate on whether project posts like this should go here or on Blogging Intensifies. On one hand, it's a Video Game related post and project. On the other hand, It's also kind of an electronics and technology-based project. This one, ended up here. One of my "on the list" projects has been to upgrade some of my old consoles. Two specifically, at least initially, are the PS2, and the Wii. The Playstation 2 was always a favorite of mine, though considering how much it sold it was probably a lot of people's favorite. I played mine…
Project – Record Shelf

Project – Record Shelf

Since I've actually taken an interest in vinyl records, One thing I really wanted to do was build a simple little record shelf. This would serve two purposes basically. One, it looks cool. Two, it gives me another way to decorate the basement a bit. The concrete block walls are a pain to work with, especially the outside wall where all my music stuff is. The temperature changes mean nothing sticks to it long term. In other areas I've hung frames from the rafters using small chains. For this space, I've got a nice shelf I can use and swap…

Code Project – JavaScript – Pixel Camera

Sometimes I do projects that end up being entirely fruitless and pointless. Ok, maybe not entirely fruitless, but sometimes I get caught up in an idea, and end up essentially just sort of, reinventing the wheel, in a complicated way. For starters, I got caught up with this little tutorial here: https://thecodingtrain.com/challenges/166-image-to-ascii . It uses JavaScript, to convert the input from your webcam, into ASCII art. It's a nice little step by step process that really explains what is going on along the way so you get a good understanding of the process. And I got it to work out…

Various Activities of Late

It's been a bit since I really just wrote out a regular blog post so I thought it would be prudent to do so, mostly just touching on some of the stuff I've been doing or thinking about recently. I'll just break things up a bit into some sections, for easy skimming/ignoring. Old Writing Every so often, I get this weird bug to just delete all of my old posts and start fresh and the old content all sucks and blah blah blah. Then that never really works out as hoped and I kind of miss having all the old…

Code Project – Python – Automated List From Reddit Comments

This is one of those quick and kind of dirty projects I've been meaning to do for a while. Basically, I wanted a script that would scrape all of the top level comments from a Reddit post and push them out to a list. Most commonly, to use on /r/AskReddit style threads like, well, for this example, "What is a song from the 90s that young people should listen to." Basically, threads that ask for useful opinions on list. Sometimes it's lists of websites or something. Often it's music. The script here is made for music but could be adjusted…
