Nearly a month since I last posted, and I even wrote this one on 31 December and didn’t have time to post it.

Things that changed last year:

• My job: Went from working in Bunbury to working in Perth as a systems programmer and integration engineer.
• My living arangement: Went from Living with my parents in Allanson, to living in the doc hold and now in Perth.
• The dual celeron (the original) is gone and all the money received. Recent thoughts have lead me to contemplate selling the replacement celerons reaping some funds back for yet another project.
• My parents moved home in the very last part of this year (mid december) thus severing most of my links to the south west. You get that.
• Playstation 2. Following a work pissup I bought a PS2 for dvd playback and Tony Hawk 4 ! Kickass
• Changed ISPs. Went from iiNet in Allanson to Netserv in Dalyellup to Arach.net in Perth.
• Video codecs: Divx went from 4.01 to 5.02 with lots of iterations inbetween. Xvid has matured into a coded more people are using. The Ogg project gained a video codec.
• Pub lunches: Office has moved, was good but expensive while it lasted.
• Main PC upgrades: It’s been over 9 months since I upgraded my main PC’s system board/cpu/ram combination. (Granted the Video card changed at least once and dvd and burner changes occured and later on a hard drive was removed.) If things continue down the current track it will be about 3-6 months more before these get replaced by a kickass laptop.

Things that didn’t change:

• I still have too many computers (wanna buy my sweet and totally cute chick magnet of a laptop … mail me)
• Reload. It’s still going, numbers are up, interest is still there. All is well in this camp.

After looking back at some of my posts from the later part of 2001 I was able to see where things have come from and it’s given me a bit of insite into where things might be heading over the course of the next year.

I didn’t reach my 3 gig quota last month, damn. Though I did do about 2gig in the last 2 days of peak time international traffic. I’m not home enough to make good use of the peak quota, and scheduling applications make off peak p2p action very easy, around 35gig a month easy.

Sorry I honestly didn’t find this.

More later.
