On my box

Who knows what a fantastic things will happen in this year.

I think this one will be the year of 64-bit (at least for Windows user).

I’m not expected to view all user switch to 64bit OSes but I’m sure we’ll see more closed source company to move their apps to 64-bit world!

Flash 64-bit? Java for 64-bit users?maybe firefox? nvidia driver for notebook?

Well, let’s hope so.

Happy new year!

Usually, I don’t enjoy game like this but I’d give it a try for this time

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

My result is:

“That’s almost never shared memory” –from Scott Meyers’ “Effective STL.”

As you can see, I was working while the game took me.

I’m thirty and I’ve been a Windows developer for a decade. Now I think it’s time to move on at least on my own box. I’d like to become a kernel hacker. It’s a very hard resolution, I know, but I think to have right motivations.

I chose FreeBSD to hack. It’s a good open source operating system and has a great community around, good documentation, simply to use and… I like beastie (the mascot of the FreeBSD Project)
If you want to learn about a new Operating System you have to use it as you primary OS so I’m going to install it on my HP Pavillion dv9000 series.
