Beyond the Valley of Sleep

[andrewducker]

Monday night: Was about to turn off the computer at 11pm when I got frantic email from nICk because Outlook Express had crashed and lost all of his email. Fortunately this is a problem I know of, so I could retrieve it all for him. Still, finally crashed out at half past midnight. Had to be up at 6am to get a train to Glasgow (due to train strike).

Tuesday night: got home at a half reasonable hour (10:30) and was actually in bed by 11:15, leading to feeling almost human on Wednesday.

Wednesday night: Mulholland drive started later and lasted longer than expected, got home from Glasgow at 12:30, went to bed by 1am, phoned by GF at 1:05, managed sleep by 1:30. Alarm went off this morning at 7:00 and I was sooo close to just going back to sleep. Tonight I have no plans except "get to bed early and be snoring by 11pm"

If only my eyes will stay open until then...

Looking for stability in all the right places

I do like that about OSX, the fact that it's based on a very powerful infrastructure with a nice GUI is pretty cool. I'm not likely to move across to it in the near future tho - I've got far too used to things like Fast User Switching in XP (allows me to leave all my software running while my flatmate switches to his login (with his favourites/shortcuts/mail/etc.). I'd be tempted to give it a go if it wasn't Mac hardware only. Hmm, how well does OSX do multiple logins on the same machine? Or is that not something it deals with?

I'd love to run my own webserver, but I really don't have the money, unfortunately. Here in the UK broadband is still heinously expensive, especially if you actually want to run a server.

I'd also do more writing at work, but I can't listen to music either, due to running support and having to listen for the phone. In my last job I coded all the time (well, mostly) and thus had my headphones pretty much attached to my skull - made life a lot happier.
