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 [...]
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, [...]
Day 10 – Picture, screenshot and specifications of your primary computer.
This is my normal working set-up, which is nice and easy to transport around to the various places I work. I run a Lenovo X300 ultraportable. 1.2GHZ Core 2 Duo L7100 4GB RAM 64GB SSD
