This is just going to be a shameless plug about myself. Well,
no actually, I'm too modest and reserved In Real LifeTM to
even force that on you.
However, I will explain why I've finally updated this site
after 2 years of dormancy and why I still cannot write a single
line of code in C.
The purchase of my Net Yaroze back in 1998 also saw me buying
my first Personal Computer, my then competent Intel Pentium II
350. I bought these as:
- The Net Yaroze looked really cool.
- I had intentions to learn to program on a console platform
thus using my newfound skill to get a job in the Games
Industry.
- I wanted a PC anyway and getting a Yaroze as well would be a
bonus.
- The Net Yaroze is multi region as standard, why Sony didn't
do this is the first place still confounds me. Admittedly,
this applies to other console manufacturers too.....
However, as I was sucked into the vicious circle of PC gaming,
my trusty stead has seen hardware upgrade after upgrade and in
currently spec'd as follows running the very nifty Microsoft Windows
2000 Professional:
- Dual (2x) Pentium III 700E Processors @ 784 Mhz. Nothing quite like close to 1600MHz worth of computing goodness!
- SuperMicro P6DBE (Intel 440BX) Motherboard
- Hercules Geforce 256 DDR-DVI 32 Meg
- 512 Mb PC100 CAS2 Registered ECC Crucial SDRam (256 x 256)
- 46.1 Gb IBM DTLA-307045 Hard Disk (IDE 1)
- 28.5 Gb Seagate ST328040A Hard Disk (IDE 2)
- 32x Teac CD-Rom
- Yamaha 6416s CD-RW
- Sound Blaster Live 5.1
- Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 91 (19") Monitor
- Adaptec 2904 SCSI 2 adapter
- Iomega USB Zip 100
- Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer
- Phillips 680k USB Webcam
- OPTi PCI USB Controller
However, as Pentium 4's are now imminent and the fact that low
end PC's are hitting the 800 Mhz mark, a new primary box looks to
be required soon, if only for braggin' rights. A dual Pentium 4 (Xeon?)
clocked @ 2.0 Ghz just sounds so cool. =]
These pages are authored to the current XHTML 1.0 specification
and use Cascading Style Sheets for formatting. There's a few bits
of JavaScript here and there but should be fairly browser neutral.
It does look best under the newest versions of Microsoft
IE5 and Netscape
Mozilla. The pathetic half assed and mostly broken implementation
of CSS in Netscape 4.x does evil things to these pages but I personally
feel that any one still using it deserves it, and I highly recommend
that they should get Mozilla ASAP if IE5 is not available on their
platform. They both are just much better browsers, even if Mozilla
is still in beta.
Any comments, suggestion or HTML bugs are welcomed, so feel
free to pop me an e-mail at jon@lambcutlet.org.
