I spent more than half of this Blessed Mother Mary’s day (or make that yesterday since it is already 4<\/font>AM (again)), in bed… sleeping.<\/p>\n

Slept up to 12<\/font>Noon, fired up and tweaked some codes for a couple of hours, took my lunch at 3<\/font>PM then went off to dream away (Some dream episodes just hunger for sequels). Woke up around 6<\/font> in the evening and wondered how come time travels so fast.<\/p>\n

I should’ve went to the office today to work on a freon-filtered room and tinker with Fedora Core 2<\/a> in between coding, which I have just finished downloading a couple of days ago. <\/p>\n

I have burned the .iso images<\/a> last night and was able to convince qs<\/a> to ‘lend’ me her ‘not-so-old’ Pentium II 166<\/font>MHz IBM Aptiva computer. <\/p>\n

That computer currently runs on Windows XP SP2<\/font> so I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t run in a Linux-powered OS. <\/p>\n

Yup XP SP2<\/font> can run in that 166<\/font>Mhz\/64<\/font>EDO RAM machine. Although the prior Windows XP SP1<\/font> runs faster. SP2<\/font> tends to slow down almost everything.<\/p>\n

Stress on the ‘everything’ and not the ‘almost’.<\/p>\n

But then of course, the comparison here does not involve trojan\/spyware-infested Windows XP SP1<\/font> machines.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I was reading Stephen Sawyer’s post on why he is pursuing a different career<\/a> after spending years in software development. It makes you think of a lot of things especially if you’re into software development.<\/p>\n

EvenMore(DeepThinking++)… if you have slept too much for one day.<\/p>\n

If you’re not into a software development related career, what do you think you would be doing right now<\/a>? <\/p>\n

What if it needs to be a job that shouldn’t be computer-related… what would that be?<\/p>\n

Will you survive?<\/p>\n

Feel free to transmit your binary thoughts here<\/a> and let us hear some neuron decibel. (Note: You can post as GUEST… no need to register).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
