I usually make a point of not mentioning active ebay auctions for feature cars and parts. This is because I am sometimes one of the bidders and don’t want to drive up interest and thus the ultimate final sell price. It is also because I don’t want my opinions...

A few days after I setup my home automation/lighting controller (FireworX-10 running on a Compaq Aero 4/33c) and wrote the first entry on my setup, the hard drive on the Aero experienced problems. I figured I would write an entry here about it even though it is on some...

Quite a while ago I commented on my search for better insurance options for my feature car in order to solve the issues of using a conventional auto policy that would pay based upon book value when that is likely much less than what feature cars with low mileage...

This is the flash movie I long had running on the Mustang home page on this site. It was by far the single biggest consumer of bandwidth on here. To improve everyone’s experience, I moved it to this page. Everyone has seen it by now so there’s no need...

I have delayed continuing to work on FireworX-10 mainly becuase I have lost interest in the platform I originally built it on. I originally built it in Visual Basic 4 and later moved to Visual Basic 5 becuase those were the versions I had available at the time. What...

My home automation setup has evolved since I started about 5 years. It did not happen overnight. At the beginning, I had a vision of what it could become and I am now feeling that I am close to achieving that vision. My vision was centralization. Instead of having...

Last year, I wrote an entry titled “Looking back” in which I talked about my first Mustang. Now it’s time to write the companion entry. I’m pretty paranoid about protecting the interior of my car from further wear. Conflicting with that is a growing desire to share the Mustang...

At long last I have completed my update to the “Where are they?” section. The update covers both the 1992 and 1993 versions. Over time, I have I kept adding more and more automation to the process of ebay auction tracking. This has made it less time consuming to...

I have occasionally commented/complained that updating parts of this site are manually intensive. The major piece to that is the “Where are they now” section. Also, as that section grows, it gets more unwieldy to use and in the size of the page itself. It is approaching 1/2 Mbyte...
