Start Me Up: 30 years of Windows 95 - @commodorez and @ms-dos5

Okay, last batch of photos from our exhibit, and I wanted to highlight a few details because so much planning and preparation went into making this the ultimate Windows 95 exhibit. And now you all have to hear about it.

You'll note software boxes from both major versions of Windows 95 RTM (Release To Manufacturing, the original version from August 24, 1995): the standalone version "for PCs without Windows", and the Upgrade version "for users of Windows". We used both versions when setting up the machines you see here to show the variety of install types people performed. My grandpa's original set of install floppies was displayed in a little shadowbox, next to a CD version, and a TI 486DX2-66 microprocessor emblazoned with "Designed for Microsoft Windows 95".

The machines on display, from left to right include:

Chicago Beta 73g on a custom Pentium 1 baby AT tower

Windows 95 RTM on an AST Bravo LC 4/66d desktop

Windows 95 RTM on a (broken) Compaq LTE Elite 4/75cx laptop

Windows 95 OSR 1 on an Intertel Pentium 1 tower

Windows 95 OSR 1 on a VTEL Pentium 1 desktop

Windows 95 OSR 2 on a Toshiba Satellite T1960CT laptop

Windows 95 OSR 2 on a Toshiba Libretto 70CT subnotebook

Windows 95 OSR 2 on an IBM Thinkpad 760E laptop

Windows 95 OSR 2.5 on a custom Pentium II tower (Vega)

That's alot of machines that had to be prepared for the exhibit, so for all of them to work (minus the Compaq) was a relief. Something about the trip to NJ rendered the Compaq unstable, and it refused to boot consistently. I have no idea what happened because it failed in like 5 different steps of the process.

The SMC TigerHub TP6 nestled between the Intertel and VTEL served as the network backbone for the exhibit, allowing 6 machines to be connected over twisted pair with all the multicolored network cables. However, problems with PCMCIA drivers on the Thinkpad, and the Compaq being on the blink meant only 5 machines were networked. Vega was sporting a CanoScan FS2710 film scanner connected via SCSI, which I demonstrated like 9 times over the course of the weekend -- including to LGR!

Game controllers were attached to computers where possible, and everything with a sound card had a set of era-appropriate speakers. We even picked out a slew of mid-90s mouse pads, some of which were specifically Windows 95 themed. We had Zip disks, floppy disks, CDs full of software, and basically no extra room on the tables. Almost every machine had a different screensaver, desktop wallpaper, sound scheme, and UI theme, showing just how much was user customizable.

@ms-dos5 made a point to have a variety of versions of Microsoft Office products on the machines present, meaning we had everything from stand-alone copies of Word 95 and Excel 95, thru complete MS Office 95 packages (standard & professional), MS Office 97 (standard & professional), Publisher, Frontpage, & Encarta.

We brought a bunch of important books about 95 too:

The Windows Interface Guidelines for Software Design

Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit

Hardware Design Guide for Windows 95

Inside Windows 95 by Adrian King

Just off to the right, stacked on top of some boxes was an Epson LX-300+II dot matrix printer, which we used to create all of the decorative banners, and the computer description cards next to each machine. Fun fact -- those were designed to mimic the format and style of 95's printer test page! We also printed off drawings for a number of visitors, and ended up having more paper jams with the tractor feed mechanism than we had Blue Screen of Death instances.

In fact, we only had 3 BSOD's total, all weekend, one of which was expected, and another was intentional on the part of an attendee.

We also had one guy install some shovelware/garbageware on the AST, which caused all sorts of errors, that was funny!

Thanks for coming along on this ride, both @ms-dos5 and I appreciate everyone taking the time to enjoy our exhibit.

It's now safe to turn off your computer.

I hate printers I hate printing I hate network errors I hate Ethernet cables I hate low ink I hate printers I am going to ~smash~ all printers into smitherines

[cjdonahue]

Lusy’s Angry is a handmade zine from the 90s in the UConn Archive, and is a great example of a precursor to Sad Girl culture, and a descendant of punk (much like goth was) which is Riot Grrrl. This was a movement of feminist punks actively engaging in societal change and advocating for more empowered women. In this zine, you can see that Lucy from Peanuts is explored as a Riot Grrrl figure, similar to how Lana Del Rey would be considered a Sad Girl figure today. Zines were always an important part of punk cultures, as an expression of freedom of opinion and producing physical media for people who don’t fit in to the target demographic of commercially made magazines. But zines were particularly important to Riot Grrrl as a way for women to express unadulterated opinion, and network with other Riot Grrrls who might also make their own zines. Usually only a handful of pages, the printer paper would be plastered with radical opinion, stickers, stamps, drawings, foul language and most importantly, emotion. Typically riddled with spelling errors (left on purpose of course) and bleeding ink, Riot Grrrl had a distinctly punk aesthetic but at the same time aligns with some of the concepts of Sad Girl, like their praise of the power of emotion as a way to empower themselves and take back the derogatory stereotype of women being emotional. In this issue there is an ode to Lucy as a figure of rage and power. By highlighting these features of the character, it serves not to celebrate them inherently as positive things, but to celebrate the characters ability to feel and utilize those emotions. This is comparable to Lana Del Rey as a figure of sadness, not because sadness is celebrated, but for the courage and vulnerability to fully experience those emotions.

How Proper Data Network Wiring Boosts Office Productivity

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, a reliable and efficient data network is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. Whether setting up a new office or upgrading your existing infrastructure, data network wiring is critical in ensuring smooth communication, data transfer, and daily operations.

This post explains how proper data network wiring enhances productivity in office settings and why every business should care.

What Is Data Network Wiring?

Data network wiring refers to the structured cabling systems used to connect computers, servers, printers, and other devices within a local area network (LAN). It includes Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a), patch panels, switches, and wall jacks—all working together to ensure reliable data transmission.

A well-organized wiring infrastructure provides the physical foundation for high-speed internet, secure internal networks, VoIP systems, and more. Businesses in offices across North Andover are increasingly upgrading their infrastructure to meet modern networking demands.

Why Proper Wiring Matters More Than You Think

Consistent and Reliable Connectivity

One of the biggest productivity killers in offices is inconsistent internet connectivity. Poorly installed or outdated data network wiring can result in frequent dropouts, slow data transfer, and lag during video calls or cloud access.

With proper wiring, your office gains stable and fast connections, ensuring teams can work without frustrating interruptions.

Faster Data Transfer for Modern Workflows

From cloud-based apps to extensive file sharing, modern workplaces demand high-speed data communication. Up-to-date data network wiring—such as Cat6 or higher—supports gigabit speeds and low latency, translating into quicker downloads, smoother communication, and more efficient workflows.

Enhanced Collaboration

Seamless connectivity is vital whether your team is collaborating over Zoom, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. Properly installed data network wiring ensures every department can collaborate in real-time without delays or buffering, fostering better teamwork and faster decision-making.

Long-Term Cost Savings

What is Syslog? A Simple Guide to Understanding System Logging

If you’ve ever wondered, “What is Syslog?” you’re in the right place! Imagine your computer, router, or even a network printer keeping a diary of everything they do: every error, task, or important event. Syslog is the system that collects all those diary entries from different devices into one central place, making it easy for people to check what’s going on, fix problems, or keep things running smoothly. 

In this article, I’ll explain what is syslog, break down its main parts, show how it works, and share three use cases with sample log messages to make it crystal clear.

What is Syslog, Anyway?

So, what is syslog? In simple terms, syslog is a way for devices like computers, servers, routers, or even printers to send short notes (called log messages) about what they’re doing to a central “diary” called a syslog server. These notes might say things like “I got an error,” “Someone tried to log in,” or “I just printed a document.” By collecting all these messages in one place, syslog helps IT teams, office managers, or security teams keep track of what’s happening across a network, spot issues, and fix them fast.

Say, syslog is a school where every teacher writes notes about what happens in their classroom (errors), activities (or warnings), and sends them to the principal’s office to be stored and reviewed. That’s syslog: it’s the system that gathers and organizes all those tech “notes” so they’re easy to find and use. Whether you’re running a website, securing a network, or managing office equipment, syslog is the ultimate tool for keeping tabs on everything.

The Main Parts of Syslog

There are five main parts to form syslog, and those parts work well together.

Devices Sending Logs: These are the gadgets creating the logs, like computers, servers, routers, or printers. They’re the ones writing the “diary entries” about what’s happening, like an error or a completed task.

Related article: What is Hardware Asset Management? The Key to Streamlining IT Infrastructure

Syslog Messages: These are the actual notes written by the devices. Each message includes details like when something happened, what it was, and how serious it is (like “error” or “just normal”).

Network Connection: This is how the messages travel from the devices to the central diary. It’s like the mail system delivering notes over a network (like the internet or a company’s private network).

Syslog Server: This is the central “diary” where all the messages are collected and stored. It’s like the principal’s office holding all the notes in one place.

Syslog Software: This is the program that organizes and saves the messages on the server, like a librarian filing the notes so they’re easy to find. Common examples are software like rsyslog or syslog-ng.

These parts work with each other to make sure all the activity logs are created, sent, and stored properly.

How Syslog Works: The Workflow

So, how does syslog actually do its job? The workflow is simple. Here’s how it goes:

Something Happens on a Device: A device (like a server or printer) notices an event, like an error, a login attempt, or a completed task. It writes a short note called a syslog message to describe it.

The Message is Created: The syslog message includes key details: when it happened (timestamp), which device it came from, what type of event it was (like a printer or security issue), how serious it is (like “error” or “info”), and what happened.

The Message is Sent: The device sends the message over a network connection (like the internet or a company network) to the syslog server.

The Syslog Server Collects It: The syslog server receives the message and hands it to the syslog software.

The Software Organizes and Stores It: The syslog software sorts the message, saves it, and makes it easy for someone to check later. For example, an IT person can look at the logs to fix a problem or see what’s been going on.

This workflow is why syslog is so powerful. It takes all those scattered “diary entries” from different devices and puts them in one place for easy monitoring.

Related article: What is Device Management?

3 Common Use Cases for Syslog with Sample Messages

Syslog is used in tons of situations to keep track of what devices are doing. Here are three examples, each with a sample syslog message to show what the “diary entries” look like. These messages follow a typical format: timestamp, device name, type of event (facility), severity level (how serious), and the message (what happened).

1. Monitoring a Website Server for Errors

A company runs a website, and they want to know if the website crashes or has problems so they can fix it quickly. Syslog collects logs from the web server to track errors, like when the site goes down or a user can’t log in.

➡️ Syslog gathers all the error messages in one place, so the IT team can spot issues fast and keep the website running smoothly.

Sample Syslog Message:

Jun 12 2025 17:38:01 webserver1 httpd[error]: Website failed to load page due to database connection timeout

Now let’s break this message down a bit:

Timestamp: Jun 12 2025 17:38:01 (when it happened).

Device Name: webserver1 (the server hosting the website).

Facility: httpd (the web server software, like Apache).

Severity: error (it’s a serious problem).

Message: Describes the issue (database connection failed, so the page didn’t load).

What It Means: This message says that on June 12, 2025, at 5:38 PM, the web server (webserver1) had an error because it couldn’t connect to its database, so a page didn’t load. The IT team can use this to check the database and fix the issue.

2. Tracking Security Issues on a Company Network

A company uses syslog to monitor its firewall (a device that protects the network) to catch suspicious activity, like someone trying to hack in. Syslog collects logs about login attempts or blocked connections.

➡️ These logs help the security team spot potential attacks or unauthorized access, so they can block hackers or tighten security.

Sample Syslog Message:

Jun 12 2025 17:40:15 firewall1 auth[warning]: Failed login attempt from IP 192.168.1.100

What It Means: This message shows that on June 12, 2025, at 5:40 PM, the firewall (firewall1) noticed someone from IP address 192.168.1.100 tried to log in and failed. It’s a warning, so the security team might check if this IP is repeatedly trying to break in, which could be a hacking attempt.

3. Keeping Track of Printer Activity in an Office

In an office, a network printer sends logs to syslog to record its activities, like when it prints a document or runs out of paper. This helps the office manager know if the printer is working or needs maintenance.

➡️ Syslog collects all printer logs in one place, so the manager doesn’t have to check the printer itself to see what’s going on.

Sample Syslog Message:

Jun 12 2025 17:42:30 printer1 lpd[info]: Printed document 'report.pdf' for user jane

What It Means: This message says that on June 12, 2025, at 5:42 PM, the printer (printer1) successfully printed a document called “report.pdf” for a user named Jane. The office manager can use this to confirm the printer is working and track who’s using it.

What is Syslog Message Format?

You might have noticed that each sample message follows a similar format. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s in a typical syslog message:

Timestamp: When the event happened (e.g., Jun 12 2025 17:38:01).

Device Name: Which device sent the message (e.g., webserver1, firewall1, printer1).

Facility: What type of program or device the log came from (e.g., httpd for web server, auth for security, lpd for printer).

Severity Level: How serious the event is (e.g., error for serious problems, warning for something to watch, info for normal stuff).

Message: The details of what happened (e.g., “Website failed to load” or “Printed document”).

This format makes it easy to read and sort logs, so people can quickly find what they need, whether they’re fixing a website crash, checking for security threats, or managing office equipment.

Why Syslog Matters: Conclusion

So, what is syslog in a nutshell? It’s a system that acts like a central diary for all your tech devices, collecting their “notes” about what’s happening so you can monitor, troubleshoot, or keep things secure. By bringing together devices, messages, network connections, servers, and software, syslog makes it easy to stay on top of everything in a network. Whether it’s catching website errors, spotting hackers, or tracking printer use, syslog is the ultimate organizer for tech activities.

Custom Prints: How to Choose Printers That Align with Your Architectural Needs

In the architecture industry, the quality of printed materials significantly impacts the presentation and execution of projects. Various printing technologies are available to meet these needs. How can architects ensure they choose the right printer that aligns perfectly with their requirements? This challenge is crucial for maintaining high standards in architectural work.

This guide will help you steer the options available, highlighting the critical factors to consider. Selecting the ideal printer for architectural uses involves understanding the different types of plotters and their capabilities. Each type offers distinctive benefits depending on the specific needs of your projects.

Understanding Plotter Printers

They are indispensable in architecture because they can handle large-format prints essential for detailed architectural drawings and blueprints. These produce crisp, high-resolution images on large paper sizes, crucial for detailed work. When choosing a plotter, it’s essential to consider the types available:

Pen plotters use pens to draw on paper. They are great for high precision but generally slower than their modern counterparts.

The Inkjet plotter’s spray ink allows for a broader range of colours and faster output. They are suited for both high-quality presentations and standard drafts.

Laser Printers for Fast Outputs

Laser printers might be the way to go for architects needing quicker print jobs for client meetings or internal reviews. These are not typically used for large format prints but are excellent for smaller, high-volume tasks where speed is critical. They deliver fast and reliable outputs, although with a slight compromise on the fine detail that plotters can achieve.

Key Features to Consider
