Well Monday is the beginning of my new position at work. I'm slightly scared and worried about doing things correctly, but also super excited for my future and being able to actually do right for my family. This new position will be a huge learning curve, but this will become a huge learning experience for me. Part of the job will involve keeping things super organized and trying to be as timely as possibly, this in turn might actually get my life in order better and learn more time management.
I'm looking at also starting to just recycle some of my old computer parts that are laying around. They are not being used and are actually getting in the way of my life. I want to work on organizing and cleaning my spare room/office, but the problem is whenever I look at it, I never know where to start.
Well in computer news, I think I will not be doing Windows 8 and will try to hold onto Windows 7 and maybe turn to Linux more when that is no longer supported. Along with this, I might look into just getting an ivy bridge i5 cpu instead of going i7 due to cost and my true needs. Along with that it saves some money to actually be able to get a monitor and better video card. We will see, but until then, have a great productive day.

Thoughts for 2013
This won't be a very in depth post but here are some quick thoughts for myself for 2013.
First off is getting myself organized. I'm sick and tired of so much junk being around. Recycling will be happening in my future.
Next, work on more programming. I've been wanting to learn Perl and Python for a long time, along with this work with php and mysql some more so that I can do some web programming along with my Java programming that I'm learning.
Along with this includes building my future PC that should last many years into the future. I am looking at getting the latest CPU along with a good motherboard and finally for the first time spending more then $500 on a system. This should be pretty future proof except certain aspects.
These are just a few quick thoughts so far. Hopefully this new position at work will allow me to get more money to be able to build this system along with this I hope it actually gets me some time programming and also learning of new things in my company.

The untitled post.
Well it seems like I really should start to use this more often. This might be a good way of getting my ideas for the future and my knowledge and trials with Windows, Linux, and maybe Mac OS.
The latest news I could say right now is that I can officially say that programming is my future and I love it. Mainly learning Java right now but looking into learning some PERL and some python seeing my work uses that as a bunch of their primary language. Along with this I have officially been given a promotion and will be starting this position in the beginning of next year and looking forward to the future.
The first project I'm looking at finally completing is getting my home server totally running. I am looking at ClearOS a lot lately and find it not a bad OS however it has a learning curve that I'm not used to yet. I have done trials with Ubuntu and Debian and have liked using both of them but I find certain things of them to be not as easy to use, but maybe I should stick with Debian seeing many places use it. Along with this I am looking at making my power mac G5 a web server, or something else but have no idea what should use it for right now.
The other exciting news is I maybe building a new desktop sooner then I expected. Looking at a Intel Core i7 3820, socket 2011. I love my laptop but lately this NVidia GTX650m is acting up and causes random issues. Oh well until next time.

This is my life
Well it has come to me that I am officially going to be enjoying the world of programming a lot. I have started my Java class and already think it will be a great, fun, and enjoyable class. Along with this I am taking a basic Database Concepts.
Beginning Java will teach the beginning of Java and just doing basic things, but will be a lot better then doing Visual Basic. I know that Java isn't the easiest thing but I understand things way different then I expected to.
Database Concepts is a nice basic beginning Database class. Most of the class will be talking about doing Queries, which with Java could make some really nice programs to be able to change information inside of a database.
Other things going on are that I have begun to do what I didn't think I'd do and have started an Apple/Mac collection. A fellow co-worker gave me a Powerbook G3 Wall Street, and a Powermac G4. Along with this another co-worker has offered to sell me a 2.0Ghz Powermac G5 with a 23inch Studio display, for a very nice price. So in time I will begin to do some pictures, and maybe if I get myself up to it, are some videos. Until next time, which hopefully will be sooner then this update.

Case issues
So I'm trying to find a good case to go with that dual socket 604 EATX motherboard but don't know of anything that isn't HUGE. I am looking for small but usable.
I'm also in search of good SATA cards that can be used with this system to be able to have better SATA support.
From now on I can say I will spend the extra money and get myself a workstation everytime.

Changes
Well I'm officially going to be going into Network Specialist Degree, hopefully this Fall, and have decided at the moment to learn Server 2008 and Linux. The best part about this also is I've been trying to work out my own network at home to be able to get everything nice and organized at home finally.
First off, I've gotten a Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz with 4GB of memory, all for free that was going to be thrown out at my job. I right away made sure it would boot and wow did it boot well. Started to do some testing onto it and research but barely able to find anything about the board itself, E7505VB2. All I know is it has dual Socket 604 and AGP 8X. It is a fast board and I love it.
So in turn, my desktop now, which is a dual-core AMD, with 2GB of memory will becoming my HTPC with bluray playback and TV tuner.
The Dual Xeons will actually become my desktop, and cannot wait. Running XP it is a beast, using a 6800XT with 512MB ram is a great card with it, and it can play all my games that I love.
My home server will be a dual core atom microatx board that allows dual channel memory. Great little board with SATA 2 and other great features for a server.
Now the fun part is to get time.

Snow Leopard
It's great to see that Apple is doing this nicely and cheaply. With it really not being tons of main features they didn't need to put it any higher then they had it. To get it will be nice and cheap and allow older intel macs to be used to their full power.
Added features include:
New Quicktime
Better support for multi-core CPUs
Built in exchange support.
Smaller install but everything is still there.
Core apps are now going to be 64-bit, thankfully this will help almost everyone.
All this for a whole $29, this could make Microsoft have to rethink their ammount for Windows 7. Lets see how this changes and helps out the Mac Mini.
