10:46 PM - What an interesting day...
Well get this, Apple introduced Xcode 2.2 with gcc 4.0.1. That should help with the frickin' bugs i see on a daily basis with it.
HP started selling TV sets like Gateway and Dell. Apple sells mp3 players and the new iMacs are practically tvs without tuners.. WTF? What happened to PC vendors? Like i'd really buy a tv set from HP.
I saw benchmarks from zdnet and microsoft today showing that FreeBSD and Linux are faster than Windows and that Windows is faster than OSX on x86 running on AMD64 chips. The catch is that the 3x speed increase was runing on dual core amd64 AND the mac app (itunes) was under rosetta stone G3 emulation mode. On an intel chip (p4m 1.2), there was an 8 second difference with Windows winning and total time was only 21 seconds for windows. Odd enough the AMD test has windows at 20 seconds but on a 4200+ Athlon. AMD sucked ass. Now i'm sure all the code is intel optimized and probably on intel compilers but still. Specifically on the other test BY microsoft, Linux and FreeBSD were 5 times faster starting a process than Windows XP SP2 and still faster than their new OS albiet not as bad as XP.
Open source wins.
I've been listening to audioslave a lot today for some reason.
Chad made me waste 2 hours showing him how to use Disk utility to dump a PREBUILT image to a mac hard drive. ID10T.
I razzled evan a bit in the chat box. Nothing big, but he said some funny shit today. Maybe we do have a language barrier with the british?
My prof in cs485 actually moved up our fucking assignment that was supposed to be due at the end of the semester to Wednesday. Thats BS! Now i must code heavily this weekend in LISP! I wanted to work on Midnight BSD and the jj client. I did get a lot done on the JJ client though. I started options tonight and i'll have a bulid up soon. (without options working though)
WMU has no bandwith.. just thought i'd share that.. i get more out of my cable modem. OIT can't fix it because they can't find their head up their ass.

11:23 PM - (no subject)
JJ bug of the day.. comments blocked but yet i can still post...
DOH!
I have to do a real overhaul on the java code soon. I mean big this time. The windows client in comparison is so much more stable. I'm just a good .net programmer :(
