**Way Way Back**

In 2000 Evan Leibovitch proposed a meeting for some of Toronto's new users of GNU/Linux, dubbed Newtlug at the time; Evan had asked me for help with an inaugural meeting topic. At his suggestion I did an oral book review of the one I was reading at the time.

Imagine my surprise when I found a copy of that speaker dialogue via the wayback machine.

Peter Hiscock gave me a couple of DOA laptops to hack around with. When my SO put the kybosh on reflowing solder in the kitchen oven, I recycled that LCD using a Raspberry Pi and an M.NT68676.2A(HDMI+DVI+VGA+Audio) LCD/LED Screen Controller Board.

**Push Pull Cooling**

Homeostatic cooling with a fluid cooled radiator/heat-sink requires a steady and constant airflow. Cycling forced air over a heated surface more quickly while it is under a thermal load, doesn't really help cooling efficiency much. However a large volume of air at consistent low velocity is more efficient. \\ \\ That's the theory anyway. ;-)

First boots with the vendor supplied cpu cooler. Radiator and fans installed, now it's ready for switch over to fluid-cooling. The single cpu cooler revs at 1100 with only the bios loaded.

This capture from the bios, after installing the pump unit on the cpu, shows all fans under 900 rpm. Its not quite accurate; pairs of radiator fans are each driven from a same single cpu fan connection.

Sure is quiet tho. Time for some music. Kensington market video courtecy of David Chu @ Kha0s productions.

**[SUD]'s Subjective Units of Disclosure**

I consolidated my speakers notes on Equitable Harm Reduction into a presentation format. I made an animation from that source but forgot I was streaming a sitcom to another monitor. The resulting hybrid of my Harm Reduction notes and an episode of Rules Of Engagement is both kind of amusing and telling considering the subject matter.
