Iago's been doing good by me for the last 3 years. I can't believe I've held onto this little beast for the last 3 years. (Technically 2.6) And its still going strong. Not shiny new hardware strong, but it does what it does day in and day out without wincing.
(Hint: Wanna mess with a Windows user? Print the uptime. In my case: uptime
13:23 up 73 days, 15:38, 2 users, load averages: 1.72 2.35 2.88). 73 days straight, including editing video, working on files, compiling, and writing emails.
But alas, it can't last forever. The system updates have been stacking up, my VM is getting outta hand ( < 8 GB), and I'm sure I have a few dead processes taking up memory somewhere. Ahh what the hell, let's see how far he'll go before he croaks. If you haven't bought a UPS for your computer yet, its the best investment you can make. I used to be afraid of leaving unfinished work on the screen, now I save before I go to sleep, but I know it'll still be there in the morning.
Now the PowerMac G5, it's a nice computer, the system architect is topnotch, but I prefer the elegance of a QuickSilver, if they have a way to squeeze an dual G5 into a Quicksilver case then I'll put money on that.
It's unfortunate that a computer has more presence than most people. But anyone who sees it is drawn to it. What do you do with it? Is that a Mac? I've never seen one like that? I know I know. I'll leave him alone for now. He's ripping DVDs and it's quite a strain on our relationship. I've got work to do, but I can't get it to multitask the way I want it to. I need two processors! Maybe more...
This blog is now being written from the ecto. I'm evaluating it right now because I may use it in the longrun instead of the CGI interface.
If you haven't heard you should check out my homegirl M.I.A. Artist out of the UK. Beats are made crazy and I'm digging the colloquialism. You can also cop it on Amazon.
Listening to: Hombre from the album "Arular" by M.I.A.
