Amazing. It's almost ten days since my last blog entry. What happened to the time?
It has been an interesting almost ten days. Dislocated a disk in my back - oh the pain. Almost got over that when I loaded up on a an airway infection... drugged to the gills and losing four days off work in total. So now it's catch up time. Get those to-do's down to a small avalanche and not the absolute tsunami that it currently is.
I'm also building a new PC in my spare time. Connected up the mother board, ASUS Crosswire III, with an AMD Phenom II x4 64-bit CPU, a NVIDIA GTS 450 1GB video card, 8GB main memory, SATA hard drives... just wish whoever packed the mother board box packed an English manual. Had to hunt down the motherboard on the ASUS website and get a PDF for it. Now, I need to spend some time finding out where what plugs go.
It's been a while since I've built a PC from components... so there's a bit of re-learning involved. This setup is so configurable it might just give me a head ache to get everything just right. Hope to be running a version of Linux on it and maybe dual boot to Windows 7 or 8. So much for the spare time.. now it's back to the J-O-B that pays the bills. Got some DB's to take care of. Document some scripts. Test some C++ source compilations using the GCC cmopiler... don't know if this is a futile exercise to compile an OCI library for the GCC environment... well I'll find out in due course.
Talk to you all soon...
