Well that Mac ad, the one where the girl goes on about rescuing christmas, you know the one that was on some kind of drugs but they wontsay which ones. Well its all bull. I plugged in my photo printer and expected it to work, you know just like in the Ad. Well bollocks I spent 30 mins trying to find the driver cd then another couple minutes downloading the driver from the web after failing to find the driver CD. Then it wanted me to reboot. So I rest my case the ad is bull. I am still happy with laptop 🙂 It has been my mobile dev environment for the new code that went live on projectphotos a couple days ago.

What do you do when you hear that the country you live is on a high terror alert? Well I went and climbed the Hancock building in Chicago. Sorry probably in bad taste

Been futzing with computers most of the day. I made my mini-itx box worse. I should never have believed the post saying that the latest version of the ALSA audio drivers work. So I ended up trying them, nope still sounds like crap. Then tried the new linux-2.4.21-rc2-ac2 kernel. Hard disk controller works, and OSS audio driver works, but real producer (which I use for streaming my tivo) doesn’t detected the audio driver so that is now not working. Feck. I think I need to go find somewhere to eat and have a drink. Or will I make just one more change the to projectphotos code I have been working on……….(drag me away from the computers please)
