Help needed Dec 10 at 10AM with fiber optic installation
by Jeffrey Brace 09 Dec '22

09 Dec '22

I know some of you will be coming earlier to Festivus and I'm hoping that some of you can help CDL before the party gets in full swing later in the day. CDL is requesting assistance with the following: 1. Running a 12 strand, single mode, fiber optic cable from 9059 (CDL building) to 9010B (new vcf museum space). A portion of this is aerial, CDL will rent a man lift for this work. The balance is routing the pre-terminated fiber optic cables through holes that InfoAge drilled, and lay it across the ceiling joists. http://compdecon.org/media/9059_to_9010b.jpg 2. Running a 6 strand, single mode, fiber optic cable through the attic of 9010B out to "Broadway" and into the 9036B attic (near the vcf warehouse), again via holes that InfoAge drilled.. http://compdecon.org/media/9010b_to_9036B.jpg The fiber to connect the 9010 (vcf museum building) rack to 9036 (adjacent to the current warehouse space) is on hand, ready to install. If you are interested in volunteering, then please contact me and I will put you in touch with Martin. Thanks so much! ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

Main Street Grill - last time
by Jeffrey Brace 08 Dec '22

08 Dec '22

After setting up tomorrow for the party, some of us will be going to Main Street Grill for the last time. It is closing up at the end of the year. This was a frequent dinner place for repair workshops over the years and during Covid helped us to social distance in a less crowded environment. It had the best burgers and will be missed. Setup starts tomorrow at 5PM. So maybe we will go out to dinner around 7:30 or 8:00 PM depending on how long it takes. ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey(a)vcfed.org
