Countdown to power down

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

In about a hour the university data centre will go down taking the entire computer system with it. As it is my job to make sure everything works, and it purposefully won’t, then the rest of my week will be ‘interesting’.

And I love this ‘lolcatz’ no-war picture, so I’ll share it.

I was planning on coming home to talk about the good things about the Mac and OSX. There are plenty of things that are very good about it, but after getting back on Vista and connecting to works network drive am amazed at the speed. I have no idea how I managed to do anything in Cardiff.

Dreamweaver to the server on OSX takes about 15 seconds to ‘put’ a file, whereas on Vista it is about 2-3. Vista has some trouble, but when it comes to VPN, network drives and Enterprise systems, the mac is a rubbish as I thought last week.
