saying I’m going to update this when I blatantly don’t. But anyways…

Emma finally discovered this blog… she awww’d. a lot. We celebrate our year anniversary in a matter of days, so here’s to many more of them, and a long life together ^_^ *hugs*

In computer news I’ve transitioned away from x86 completely, believe it or not PPC is now my arch of choice in all its incarnations. It’s so much more efficient in terms of flops vs megahertz, and what with its use of EFI/OpenFirmware as opposed to that outdated shite known as the BIOS I find it far more flexible and geek friendly. And to those who say PowerPC is dead, you have obviously never seen a PS3. Or any Cell-based machine for that matter. With Power7 on the horizon, it’ll be a worthwhile competitor to x86 for years to come.

On the subject of PowerPC machines, if you have an old OS9 Mac I’ll be putting up a page in the near future with speed tips and tuningness for G3/G4 machines that actually work as opposed to the crap you see on other ‘old mac’ sites. I’m writing this from Em’s ‘house iMac’, specs G3/400, 384MB RAM, 9GB slow-as-molasses hard disk. When I came across it it had Virtual Memory and RamDisk enabled, and as you can imagine that + slow HDD = PAIN. That has since been remedied by yours truly

The recession seems to be showing signs of waning at long last — I’m now taking up a post at Colchester-based web dev house WDL as a code monkey there. The folks seem nice and they have a purty website (http://websitedesign.co.uk/) to boot.

Finally, I’m offering CV and cover/spec letter writing services on a trial basis. The people I’ve done this for so far seem to be quite happy with what I do to their stuff and it’s got them so much further in their jobsearch. If you’re interested in this drop me a line the usual way (see Contact page).

That’s it for now I guess, I’ll try updating this on lunch breaks and stuff in the future, but of course no promises.
