Well it has been a couple of months since my last blog entry. I have been so busy with work & life this thing has kinda been put on hold. Time to buckle down and start writing again. I need this outlet to vent a few frustrations I’m having at the moment. The major worry (as you can see for the post time on this) is that I am unable to sleep. This may be down to stress, or it may be something completely different, but the lack of sleep has led me to catch up on the net.

During the past couple of months I have been developing my webskills at work, and I have been concentrating heavily at home on getting my CompTIA A+ and Network+ exams done. I have done a hell of alot of studying, and I can’t wait to sit the exams and gain my certs. Also I have started my driving lessons again which is sweet, and I’m really enjoying that.

I have been working on some pretty high profile projects at work, URL’s to follow.

Besides that I have been testing Vista, now its gone to RTM on MSDN. It’s looking damn good, apart from the crap driver support. Using the ATI vista drivers for my Radeon 9600 256mb I get an error code 43 message and a device can’t start issue. And that is using the official ATI RTM Vista drivers. Shoddy work….

Also my Mass storage adapter (promise Ultra ATA PCI) doesn’t have drivers for Vista and I still haven’t got the Soundblaster Live drivers working. Not a good start with Vista really!

Well I have a busy week ahead with a photography portal site to develop, and we are moving to new offices at work which should be good, a change is as good as a rest and all that!

Ill not leave it so long next time.

Adios
John
