Still Blogging...

Yes it has been a while since I blogged. So here’s what’s happened over the past while:
- My PowerBook kinda died. The onboard RAM is dead. For a while, it wouldn’t run more than 10 minutes without locking up. But the last time I started it up, I was able to dump all of the data without any trouble – that took more than 3 hours. I’m going to see if the locking up thing was just a passing phase (it was locking up consistently like 4 months ago for a weekend, but that eventually passed). Either way, it will need service eventually, but I hope it’s usable enough to bring on vacation.
- I fixed my Nintendo. I replaced the 72 pin connector and cleaned up some games. Now I can play Battletoads the way it’s supposed to be played. You’d be surprised how good NES games sound when you have a sound system with some bass.
- Been trying out test driven development at work. I’ll have to sum up my findings on that once I’m done the current project. A preview: why would anyone NOT do test driven development?
- Got User-mode Linux going… I’m quite impressed with it. Very soon I will blog about how I’ve integrated it with Slackware’s init scripts.
- Renamed this blog. Still looking for a better name though. I also want to try and upgrade this to the bleeding edge version of Typo. I got that running at work and it’s crazy. It’s improved in almost every way, and the Ajax features are quite impressive. Once I do that, then I’ll look at customizing the look a little bit.
