Havent updated in a while.  Been BUSY.

 
New home system: (for Linux testing and games)
Athlon (Thunderbird) 700Mhz, Chrome Orb heatsink/fan
ABit KT7 motherboard
256mb RAM
20Gig Maxtor IDE HD (5400RPM)
3Com 3C905 10/100base-T ethernet (PCI)
3dfx Voodoo 3/3000 2D/3D graphics (PCI)
Plextor 8/4/32 IDE CD-RW drive
VisionTech MVCast MPEG-2 realtime encoder card (for
digitizing movies and shows off my TiVo, onto VCDs that
I can play in the DVD player)
Cheap ALS400-based sound card (PCI)

 I'd kill for a GeForce 256 MX-based 32mb AGP video card,
but I cant justify replacing the V3/3000 just yet, since
it really does everything I need it to do, and I havent
found a game that *doesent* work with it yet (most problems
have been due to Win2K more than anything else), so I
guess I'll wait for them to stop updating the drivers before
I upgrade to a better card.  Compared to the Celeron 300/
Riva TNT-based system I had a year ago, I cant complain
about this setup at *all*.

 
New home system: (for REAL WORK!)
Sun Ultra 60
dual 360Mhz/4Mb-cache CPUs
dual 9Gig F/W/Ultra-SCSI HDs
Creator 3D/FFB2+ framebuffer
1Gig RAM (yes, 1024 megabytes!)
This is the system I do all the SunHELP development/testing
on, before I move things to the actual colocated server.

 So far, Christmas is boring and depressing.  

 Currently evaluating  
Miester Code versus the upcoming new release of
PHPWebLog for the
next reincarnation of the SunHELP web site, which will
happen between now and the first week of January (when
I'm taking a week off of work for vacation).

 Wasnt able to actually do much *work* this week - had to
work 16 hours over last weekend on a HP-UX 11.0 upgrade
project, then took Monday off as comp time.  Tuesday I
had to take off at 4pm for an emergency dentist's 
appointment, and then had some work done on Thursday,
causing me to take Thursday and Friday off due to being
doped up real good.  Vicodin is good stuff.
