now that my softswitch is done for now, i'm free to think other things through...
back to the linux?
i'm still mulling over whether to go back to linux or not. running tomcat on freebsd isn't as straightforward as on linux. you have to have apache, plus a connector, and then tomcat... and i havent got the time to muck around in non-programming tasks! being a master of server configuration is fine and all, but, pardon my french, system administration is NOT programming!
of course, there's also that newbie-factor... everything is so... so new! i always get sidetracked as i start discovering all the bells and whistles that freebsd has to offer! but then again, sysad != programmer && power_user != programmer!
come saturday i just might revert back to linux at home. i'll probably stay on linux until june at least... after my thesis is done, THEN i can waste entire weekends mucking around freebsd!
to livejournal or not to livejournal?
i'm also seriously thinking of moving to livejournal. but not because of that kuro5hin article mr. andico posted to plug! the HELL if i care what he or anybody else thinks! (actually i mostly agree with the article, it just DOESNT have anything to do with me going to livejournal) its just: 1) tripod has annoying popups, 2) tripod is soooo slow sometimes, and 3) you have to open a browser to post to tripod, whereas with livejournal, you only need logjam.
i'm going to miss this blog's clean design though... i'd be hard pressed to customize livejournal so that it looks as clean as this one...
at any rate i've already leeched (w/ wget) all my old blogs so i guess i'm ready to change blogs anytime now...
