The Smallest Pentium Gaming PC Build!

AkBKukU post The Smallest Pentium Gaming PC Build! from patreon

UPDATE: I fixed some minor issues with the video and re-uploaded it. I'm working on subtitles now and when those are finished I'm going to release it. Nothing major was changed from the other version, the video has noise reduction now and I fixed the blurry cable picture. I also fixed the audio change during the Quake GL segm...

Small Behind the Scenes Sneak Peak

AkBKukU post Small Behind the Scenes Sneak Peak from patreon

Hello all,

It's been a little bit since I posted but I've been absolutely getting my butt handed to me by my next project but it's finally looking like it's in its final form. I've been working on this system off and on for about a year and it's been a wild ride. This last couple of weeks though I've been really pushin...

The Killer POKE

AkBKukU post The Killer POKE from patreon

This was a much more involved video to make that usual. But it's was a really enlightening one for me. The course of this video evolved a lot and I think this may have ended up as the most detail explanation of what happens yet.

Blip Music Track and Music-less Video

I thought it might be fun to share the music track as it's own thing since I made it and I can do with it what I want! It's 6:30 of a lot of the same stuff so do keep some reasonable expectations. If there is interest I could fairly easily make a shorter ~2m cut of the music in something more resembling a proper song rather t...

Blip - 1977 Mechanical Pong - UPDATE

AkBKukU post Blip - 1977 Mechanical Pong - UPDATE from patreon

This is a short video but it took a lot of work because it is the first one I've made with music, that I wrote myself for it! It's not  amazing music, but I think it fits the theme well.

I'm really curious about feedback on this one.

UPDATE - I re-rendered the video to fix some audio level issues. I trie...

AkBKukU post Roland SK-88 Pro Sound Canvas Keyboard from patreon

Woo!

I'm really happy with how this video turned out. I actually completely re-recorded the whole thing from scratch after not being happy with the first version. The second time I decided to do it like I did the PS 3D Display video and I think that was the right choice. I think I should really make more of my videos i...

Video Production Update

Hello, I know it's been a little while since I've made a post. I had some personal stuff happen right around the time all the other stuff hit the fan around the world. So I haven't been able to get as much work done as I would have liked.

But my load is lightening up now and I am getting onto the next video.  I ju...

AkBKukU post Commdore 64 Drive on PC with XA1541Cable from patreon

This won't be the final released video because I need to make a few corrections, but this is close enough to done that you'll barely notice a difference.

This was an accidental video in a way. I've still been trying to make the video I wanted to using my PET and it really has been one of the biggest pains I've...

Copper Tape PCB Repair - Micro Tangent

AkBKukU post Copper Tape PCB Repair - Micro Tangent from patreon

Another video!

I figured out what I want to do with these new shorter videos. They're going to be the first new series on the channel called "Micro Tangents". I've gone back and recorded new intros for the other videos to introduce the concept. I'll be uploading those later today. I'm going to try releasing these as "e...

Dot Matrix Printer Stuck Pin Fix

AkBKukU post Dot Matrix Printer Stuck Pin Fix from patreon

This was a video I needed to get done before I could more on to the one I actually wanted to do. It was really nice to make a short video from the start for a change. I may be doing another short fix video like this, maybe this could be a series? If I do, I should make it some kind of more generic "quick tips" type thing beca...

Turbo Display Setup Tips

AkBKukU post Turbo Display Setup Tips from patreon

This is an experimental video, this is all old footage that I shot when I built this system or from other videos. I recorded some voice overs and threw a bit of info before the main shot to finish it out.

Originally I decided not to finish this one because turbo displays can be very different and this was just how to ...

HP 16500C Re-Edit

AkBKukU post HP 16500C Re-Edit from patreon

After some of the feedback I got from the Supporter Update video I decided to go back and give this video another shot with a trimmed down edit and splitting it into two videos. I cut out around 15m of random stuff that didn't really make this better and was able to split it neatly evenly between doing the mods and testing. I...

AkBKukU post Another Patron Olny Video - Modding my  HP 16500C Logic Analyzer  from patreon

This is a another video that didn't really go as planned and I didn't really like how it turned out. It's very "rambly" again as well. I'm starting to think more about making more scripted videos now, but that's something I'd rather get into later in a patron update video.

This was me wanting to get my recently acquire...

The Comptometer

AkBKukU post The Comptometer from patreon

This video fought me for every step of the way to get this done but it's finally finished.

The last adding machine video was far to long and rambly so I went the scripted route with this one and I feel the results are so much better for it. I really like how this video turned out and am really happy to have finally sha...

This video really didn't go how I planned it to. I wanted it to be a demonstration of interlnk and mTCP but it I wasn't able to do that in the end.

I'm not happy with this result but decided to push through this one to the end since I filmed pretty much everything. So this can be an example of a video that didn't pass ...

Small Update

I just wanted to drop in and say I'm not sure if I'll have a video this weekend. I've been struggling with fulfilling ATX2PCjr orders and trying to get some car troubles resolved while working on a project for a video. I've got a lot of work done to the point where I'm pretty much ready to shoot. I just haven't had the time y...

AkBKukU post I bought 1970s Data General Mini Computers! from patreon

Finally a video about these is ready.  This ended up being more the kind of video I wanted to see about these systems before I picked them up because there is very little out there that shows you all around them and talks about transporting them.

I wanted to give you all an update on this because it has been taking up a ton of my time. I've finally finished getting the Data General systems set up again just as they were before I moved them and I'm now finally able to begin working on them. But I'm going to be going really slowly on this so I don't break anything. If y...

This was a fun idea I had to try out and I'm happy with the results overall. Using a Power Glove on PC!

Also, an update on the Data General. I was able to successfully pick it up! I have some pictures up twitter if you want to get some sneak peaks. I'm probably going to record a pickup/introduction video next about it,...

AkBKukU post A little delay for some big excitement from patreon

So.. this last week I've been working on setting up a new filming area to record at and that's been going pretty well. My plan was to record a simpler video towards the end of the week for a Friday release.

Well also for this last week, I've been in contact with someone local about a Data General Nova 4, microNova, wit...

This was an effort to get a lower production effort video out before I had to go out of town. I think I covered everything I could about...

This was not a video I planned to make. I was totally derailed from a bigger video project by this and lost about a week and a half to testing and tuning this.

One thing working on this video really highlighted to me is that I need a different dedicated area for setting up computers where I can film. I think I'm going ...
