No more geektechnique.org

For a few years now I have been following geektechnique.org because of the cool projects, many of which involved old SGI or Apple hardware.

Unfortunately this has come to a premature end, as Mark Hoekstra, the guy doing the projects, passed away a few days ago.

Not good. Not good at all.

Some of my favourite projects:

• The public webserver running from an Apple LC475
• An SGI Indy as a dedicated webcam
• Adding wireless ethernet to an eMate
• The iNoPhone
• Slurpr: the mother of all wardrive boxes
• Upgrading an old iPod to be flash based
