Alot’s happened recently and I haven’t really felt like wiritng here because of some other things that have happened and are happening in my life at the moment (which sort of affect everything) but here we are..
- I went back to my High School to help them with their musical production, Grease, because on the opening night when I went it was absolutely shocking. So you could say I saved the show. Hehe.. Though I did have lots of fun whilst doing it.
- As per my previous post, I finished my TAFE course. To my disappointment TAFE don’t give High Distinctions in anything, though i’m happy to say I got Distinctions in every module. Go me.. Hehe
- I purchased a dedicated server for both SurfiOnline and MyBB (more so MyBB). This means that I can finally have some freedom in how things are setup and I don’t have to put up with the slow speeds of shared hosting and crappy uptime.
- Right now i’ve setup Subversion to allow us to develop MyBB as a group alot easier with code management. I’ve also setup trac as a project manager which has an interface to subversion.
- I’ve moved over several subdomains of both mybboard.com and surfionline.com to the new server however I haven’t moved anything major as of yet because I still need to test mail, as well as create name servers and fiddle around with DNS (uck.).
- On Sunday (this last Sunday) I bought a new laptop to replace the one Harvey Norman lost (they will be paying for half of this machine). It is a Toshiba F10 (sorry Michelle, still not ready for a Powerbook ;)). It cost $4,000 and came with a Canon MFP390 printer.
- Intel Centrino M 2.0 Ghz processor
- 1 GB DDR RAM (2x 512mb)
- 100 GB Hard Disk Drive
- 128mb Nvidia GeForce 5700 Go Video Card
- 15.4″ Super Bright Widescreen LCD (And it is very bright with two lamps - looks awesome)
- Built in TV Tuner (With Svideo/Component/Ant Inputs)
- Remote Control
- 100 MB LAN / 802.11g Wifi / Bluetooth
- Harman/Kardon Speakers (These sound excellent)
- Plus other stuff
- Runs Windows XP Media Center Edition
I’ll try to update again soon, if i’m feeling more like it..

Nice, very nice. I mean the specs of your laptop
Great to hear Subversion is being deployed for use as well, I’ve been using it for myself for some time now and it is extremely useful.
Oh and I must say that the dedicated server is quite fast

Where are you getting your dedicated server?
Too bad you didn’t get the PowerBook, you don’t know what you’re missing…

Exactly, i’m about to setup SVN on my linux server here and probably use it to manage client work and other things on it - it’s becoming a necessity of mine.
