This post is an archival post from the original Datamancer.net blog, which is no longer online. It was written by Richard Nagy between 2009 and 2012, before he passed away. We have kept it public, unchanged apart from the layout, so the information stays available to as many people as possible.
Here are some quick snapshots of my new PC, “The Clacker”, named in honor of the “clacker” characters in the Bruce Sterling/William Gibson novel, The Difference Engine. I had hoped to finish this PC in time for the Oxford Steampunk show but I ran into several production delays with outsourced parts, so I sent some smaller stuff instead like the Steampunk Laptop and the Warehouse 13 Sojourner. Anywho, I don’t want to give too much away too soon, but here are some teaser pics. Enjoy!
