My Dream Machine in Three Acts
After spending late 2007 writing about and building my own fast PC – I realised there was a larger place for the story to be told. But not here. It was time to go PC enthusiast over on Channel 10.
The most difficult piece to write was the overture. Knowing at which technical level to target the writing. Feedback is welcome.
x64 is a barrier that the PC industry is going to push through during 2008. Laptops with only 4Gb of RAM are a bit cheezy and limited.
The overture:
And the three acts:
Next articles will be related to how I work on this machine. The old Toshiba craptop just isn’t cutting it anymore.

I To Do Therefore I Am?
Personal organisational skills. I can not has. They left me some time ago.
Microsoft has released some research on the gender differences of To Do lists.
About 70% of people have a To Do list.
20% of males keep their To Do list in their head.
Mine is a combination of email (whatever is still in there needs to be done) and my head (flexible rearrangement) and calendars (so I know where and when I should be)
If I spent my time managing my time I’d have no time to do stuff. And I’ve decided never to be so busy and stressed that I’ve got to have pages full of things to do. Been there, done that.

Enjoying life is not cross items off a list. Life is in the doing.

U IZ BANND FROM TEH TWITTA.
This posting on http://on10.net/ : “64bits. More than 2 times 32” has been in my Windows Live Writer drafts for too long. Sitting there, looking at me.
The topic was easy. I knew I was going to write something about Vista x64. Not that I am the world’s expert: and that was half of the problem. Researching, reading. Trying things out.
Writing it down, well that is another matter.
Some days writing is easy. It just flows. From your brain through the keys. Music going to get a steady rhythm. No-one in the house interrupting your thoughts.
Other days, you are not in the zone. Watch some video. Listen to some Podcasts. Twitter a little. Twitter a lot.
And twitter, my friends, is sucking the words from my brain. That’s it. Twitter is a word-sucking-vampire of thoughts.
