I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

Oh, what was that? The sound of money going away from Three again? Yeah, maybe. I think I have this effect on them, I bet the site was working fine until five minutes before I tried to access it. Or maybe Three just suck. ;-)
Clearly, real businesses don’t run open source software. (Just thought I’d throw that into the mix before Steve got here ;-) I’m also allowed to say that now, having reverted to the Dark Side with Vinyl 45!)
It uses the term SMS exactly once. MMS doesn’t get a mention, and, just to make sure it’s not a parochial thing, I checked for PXT as well… also no mention. If anyone has any good stats on messenging by Australian mobile SPs please leave a comment. Telstra are great, Optus/SGT are not so great. Clearly as an annual report it should be more than fluff followed by some financial boringness. Competitive analysis, etc., would surely be not a bad thing to have in there. Mind you, weighing in at 192 pages, there’s a lot of fluff already.
*growls at corporate types*
It’s here.
DFI LanParty UT NForce4 SLI-DR VENUS, AMD 64bit 3200+ (939) @ 2.4GHz, 2GB (2 x 1GB DIMMS) OCZ Platinum DDR PC4000, 256MB GeForce 7600GS PCIe, 250GB Sata2 Seagate, Pioneer DVD Combi drive, OCZ Powerstream 520 Watts… and XP Pro still sucks. Necessary evils, I suppose. 2221 3DMark ’06, don’t remember ’05 score.
All this firepower and I’m sitting here playing seven-year-old RTS games anyway. Sigh :P Next stop, another hard drive (just so I don’t have system/data on same disk… I’d complain about the pagefile — wow it’s weird calling a swap partition that — but somehow with 2GBs of tasty memory — mmm brains — that shouldn’t be too much of a concern just yet ;-)).
Also, I’m rather sold on the dual core myth so if anyone has an X2 939 they’re trying to get rid of… PWTB. Not that I need it right now so it’ll wait a while. I’m planning on saving again and getting some decent video hardware to go with my new Sony PVM-411CE :-)
I’ve got some case mods planned but am thinking they’re going to have to wait until summer break for reasons of time and money. And it’s now 1.30 in the morning and I’ve got to be up in five and a half hours. Doh… computers suck.
| In procrastination I observed this yesterday and was prompted to take a photo for no particular reason. Would be a potentially good stock photo. Think usage by people trying to sell last minute HSC services at this time of year : |
It must be crap. This thing is finished nine hours early! Cruising! The language is a bit all over the place, but it’s all in english, and the content is a bit year-11-and-12-rehash in places, but it’s mostly pretty alright (lots of Bahktinian self/other stuff going on, not that I actually thought to mention his name).
In other news I’m really hoping my new PC rocks up today. And that I have money to pay for the damn thing. We’ll see how it goes; if not today, tomorrow. Then I’ve got to get a copy of XP Pro and then I’ll be lost to RTS games for a few weeks. Sigh *good sigh*
