Back from Holiday

31 Jul

As you might have noticed my blogging activity has reached a ‘below-zero’ level. Last week i was on a holiday for a week (i’ve been to France), i did my best ignoring my portable for 7 days, and i am proud to announce i succeeded !

Picking up my BLOG

5 Jul

My last post dates from the 10th of March, so it has been awhile ! Sorry i’ve abandoned you guys for awhile, i noticed traffic is still coming in quite well….thanks for that !

So what have i been upto ? I’ve been very busy with some projects & my current job.

I’ve decided that from August (this year) i will be fully independant & working for my company. Considering i have alot of projects at this moment, i think it’s the right thing to do… From then on i will have the time to fully dedicate my time on my company / personal projects, what will hopefully lead to a more structured life…

At this moment i am just running/stressing around between various tasks, always trying to finish the most urgent things first…..Slowly this way of working is turning me crazy…I am never able to really finish what i am doing, always have to end-up with 90% finished projects…And, i could really use some vacation !

My working environment (software)

29 Dec

I deciced to optimise my working environment, i am tired of having to format my disk every 2 months because things get slow….Just untill now i was a Windows user, i think all Microsofts operating systems passed on my computer….from ms-dos to windowsXp. And in my 10 years of computer user i formatted my machine at least 100 times….but i’m tired of it…

My current software environment :

  • Microsoft WindowsXP (sp2)
  • Microsoft OfficeXP
  • Openoffice 2.0
  • Zend IDE 5.0 (coding environment)
  • Wamp (Apache1.x, Mysql 4.x, Php5.x)
  • Email : Outlook (work / exchange) & Thunderbird (company / personal)
  • Mozilla Firefox (browser)

The future vision :

  • Ubuntu (a debian/linux based operating system)
  • LAMP (Apache1.x, Mysql 4.x, Php5.x)
  • Openoffice 2.x
  • Mozilla thunderbird : email
  • VMware : WindowsXP / Microsoft Office (exchange)

So lets start by installing ubuntu, and then go on from there
