Other. Both of my primary machines are currently running Windows 7 because im too lazy to get xdmx working, and I paid for MaxiVista. However given the choice (and time!) I would be running linux for everything. Also, Portal2 doesnt run on linux…..

Day 21 – Favourite thing & worst things about working in IT
My favourite thing about working in IT is all the cool toys and technology I get to play with on a daily basis. Theres nothing more exciting than a cool new piece of kit arriving. However, the worst part about working in IT? The users! (sorry if any of *my* users read my blog…) I’d [...]
Day 19 – Most hated computing environment.
I’m not really bothered about the environment I work in, as long as it gets the job done. I’m quite happy working with any OS or GUI/shell (as long as the proper documentation is available) As for physical environment, I quite like working in the cool, dark server room – rather than my office, which [...]
Day 16 – First computer you’ve ever owned & your favourite ever.
I kinda answered that with my previous post. Commodore 64. As for my most favourite computer ever, it would have to be my current Lenovo x300. Nice and powerful, in such a tiny shell! ~ In catchup mode, so these are short ~
Day 15 – Earliest geek experience
My first computer (that wasn’t a PC) was a Commodore 64 and I didn’t have a tape/floppy drive to start, so I would be found, on a lot of days, typing out BASIC application code from books! ~ I’m in catch up mode so these are short ~
Day 14 – Favourite computer conference?
I haven’t actually been to any computer conferences This needs to be rectified!
Day 13 – How did you become such a geek? Career? Personal interest?
I really don’t know why I’m as much of a geek as I am. As soon as my parents bought home our first computer, it was all I spent my time on. (so much so that rules such as “only one hour of computer after tea” had to be implemented). My career came out of [...]
Whats #blackout?
LIVE STREAM OF PARLIAMENT TV: http://www.parliament.nz/LiveBroadcast/house-128.asx Lots of people asking what the #blackout tag is on twitter. Last time the copyright amendment was before parliament (2 years ago), everyone on twitter that supported the bill NOT going through, blacked out their profile pictures to show their support. The deal was that after “3 strikes” you [...]
Day 12 – What area do you want to expand your skills into?
For once, a post not strictly IT related. At the beginning of next year I’m going to do the NYIP course, and become a camera/photography geek as well as a computer one! Short post today.. sorry
Day 11 – Favourite hacking environment – music, light, seating, etc
At the moment my favourite work enviroment is the offices of Indelible with Dan Browne I have to have music. Silence while working is just not productive. While I’m working (especially when tired, which is most of the time) I listen to trance/dance, because it keeps me going! During the day natural light is fine, [...]
