Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka and Rocking Ramadan
Only a short post at the moment, Happy holidays everyone, hope your having fun in your neck of the woods.
I say neck of the woods as checking my server logs yesterday I had some interesting results, I have had a DoComo user here on their mobile phone I am assuming...weird, Japanese people now visiting my site... possibly on a mobile phone...
morganstorey.com へのこんにちはそして Happy Holidays 歓迎
Probably means nothing as it was babelfished anyway Happy Holidays to all my readers all around the world.
A Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night :P
Peace out all.

Another Year over
Well almost tafe is finished, done, kaputsky. It was fun while it lasted, a bit on the easy level, but that’s expected hope I can do it next year, hope next year I don't feel like pulling my hair out due to its being aimed low... No offence to the noobies that were in the class they picked it up pretty quick, but myself and the other people who knew what a hard drive was should have been allowed to skip ahead with no detriment to ourselves...it is not my fault I am smart...arse...heheh. Though I was paid a rather nice insult (???) yes I said insult, I am sure it was meant to be an insult but I took it as a great complement cause that is the kind of pompous and conceited guy I am... heheh I kid I Kid... the insult/complement was "You sure do read a lot, don't you Morgan". This was after I was blabbering on about the chip I mentioned in an earlier post, then I started to look at the junk I read, the register, penny-arcade, annanova, smh, overclockers, the almighty zzz, and New scientist and atomic (eww hardcopy) damn maybe I do read a lot... ah well same teacher also gave me another complement/insult, well have to complete it later someone else needs this pc, l8r
Welcome back to this year in review...
Well back at work it is the next day now where was I? Oh yeah the other complement insult from one of my tafe teachers... She said "Obvious someone who will be a network engineer one day" After I did a presentation that was suppose to be short that went for 40minutes on network technologies.... heheh uber geek :P
So to recap my year, WDS, Tafe, Engaged :) and Now Optus, and own dual cpu web server...heheh there in chronological order trust me...

insert wavy lines, Its flashback time
For those who don't know the internet has been round a damn long time, and I am coming up to my first decade online... that is right, and scary, I have been surfing and trolling and chatting and well being my online presence for almost ten years, so it is time for a little flashback brought on by finding this site, a little trip back in time, check out "the emulator" section, very funky, check out netscape navigator and even internet explorer, back when i first started using it, netscape was the only browser to use, IE suxed the big one, and that is what websites looked like gotta love the grey background.
On looking through these emulators I found a link to a post on the IE emulator, I am pretty sure I have read it before, it is what originally deterred me from using frames on this site, how easily I crumbled, when I read it, it reaffirmed my vigour for disliking frames to an extent, so be prepared for a major change (again) to remove the frames and make it look all schmick, like other sites I visit.
Frames are bad and good people don't use them :P
I got rid of my inline frame, I learnt to live without it, I am sure my top and side frames will not be difficult to remove, maybe while I am at it I can learn to use style sheets instead...hmm
Well Peace out all, even those who are determined to undermine the "ease of use of the web" with their icky frames.

SMP Pr0n
Have a look at the image below if you are at all into computers like others on the Overclockers.com.au SMP Forums(more specific link for those of you with ocau logins) then you will realise this really is Pr0n for the SMP geeks...lol
Can I say goddamn... gotta look at some of the specs of this thing, when I first heard of it I thought it sounded like the neural net processor out of the terminator series.
What with its individual processors all connected via a high speed bus, no not that kind of bus...lol
But the multi-processors, make the chip supposedly run cooler as a whole and make it scalable with current technologies so that it is in keeping with moores law. It also means with its massive 144mb of cache (a fact I learnt from the new article) that it can cache all instructions and SMP threads...drool. This model looks to have 8 processors on board each running at 1ghz, but that is not a real measure of this baby, the processors are supposed to interconnect with such speed and efficiency that the processors work more closely and as one, as opposed to current SMP (symetric multi-processor) systems such as AMD MP's/Opterons, and Intel Itanium/XEON's. Were talking the ability with this chip to perform equivalently to a pentium 6-7ghz... looks like IBM maybe back in the sadle so to speak now where can I get a 120mm square peltie/heatsink combo.
Basically though this goes back to the early days of intel when they toyed with this kind of technology, they had dual 486's running on a chip that had the equivellent power of a whopping 133mhz machine... interesting that IBM decided to revive it with impressive concequences.
The idea is that it is a fully scalable chip as single cpu's become smaller and cooler running they can be put on this chip to interconnect, the smaller they are the more can be fit on one chip the faster it becomes, one day we may all be running and rating computers in how many ghz processors we have on our chip. All I can say is funky.
Like the above article, gonna try and get it printed on zzz, been following this chip pretty closely and it sounds like an awesome leap forward in r&d...
Well one quick anecdote and then I'll go, one of my friends who shall remain nameless but has a blog in my links, should really learn to look before he leaps even no espeacially when people are watching/warning him to watch out for the tumultuos amount of water running through the guytter next to the door he is about to exit from.
Well peace out all.

WTF?
Only a short post tonight.
I know that you know telstra is big well here in australia and their ego is obviously huge, but seriously check the link (you will need a pdf view to view) Link as you can see, if you bothered to check the link and have a read through, checkpoints firewalls now support Telstra Bigpond's connection method, so I here you say, so Telstra is an australian company worth maybe a billion dollars, so thats what 500mill US, now checkpoint I am pretty sure is worth almost as much why should they give a flying proverbial procreation what happens here... and espeacially on a sub-standard broadband service in a broadband backwater? weird huh.
Well thats my rant for the week :P
Peace out all.
