Now why did that take 6 hours - well because the run out to the stadium isn't working, cos the set up that was working fine on one fibre run has decided that it doesn;t like the run out to the stadium and although the little red laser light is coming trhough both ends it refuses to make a connection. Oh and cos to find an old computer to run the DNS I had to find a mouse and a mouse ball that worked and then enough a power point to plug the thing into. Oh and of course the stadium and Network Central are at opposite ends of the school and Network Central is upstairs in the library and I have to lock and unlock everything cos it's a weekend.
Managing our new servers will create new difficulties, whilst at the same time allowing a lot more utility and we have to buy a $180 program to manage our user lists - which isn't much for a school except that we have to buy it from US and we will prob have to use Credit Card, which means good ole brendan will have to front the money and hope that the school pays me back quickly.
Anyway, I love working with Computers!!! I do, it is just a pain to have so little to show for 6 hours work. Nothing exciting anyway. Tonight is a Risk night tonight and I am looking forward to that a lot. Oh and another highlight will be reading Understaning Using Net Info.pdf a classic tale of domains, user, groups, root, parents and children all written in Palatino with Headings in Garramond Narrow. I'm EXCITED ;) [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Also Apple has started a no hold bars gloves off takin' it to 'em Media Campaign - "Switch" tells it all - but if the word doesn't tell you then having a read here or a watch here might help you out....
Warning - Iif you watch all the ads i think the music in the background must carry some subliminal message, cos I am feeling compelled to buy a Mac, even though I own one, have a work iBook and work with them all day.... Arr Mac, until you use one, you don't know what you are missing. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]
I have been using OS X on the iBook the school got me - I thought it might not be able to handle it, but it is going fine. The down side is that I have too many legacy applications and so I must bid farewell to the beauty and stablity which is OS X. Mind you I find that OS 9.2.2 is mmuch much more stable than previous OS, it's been a long time since I have had a serious crash in Classic either. So I guess I will get over having to go back to Classic on my iBook. I can still reboot it into OS X when needed - just hold down the X key on startup.
Well the printer needs more paper - until next time, cheers. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Oh and I made it into Core again with the Evolution of Halo story - yeah.
The guys at FSD Web Design tell me that mattydempsey.com has had a bit more content added and should have some more up by tomorrow - I think it's looking good. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]
The quality is not great, it is a Camera recording of a low quality movie, but to give an idea of what the vision of Halo was it does it well. There is a commentary from Bungie staffers but it is hard to understand for the most. The highlight for me was the sequence where they go through about 10 different weapons, some are funny others make me wish that the technology/time could have met the vision.
In this movie I see the Halo that I heard about back in 1999[???] and fell in love with. [although I am glad they went more 1st person] (oh and did I say it is 52.1MB) [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]
