When surfing the web, I came upon an old site we (read: Rootspirit) used to host.
Nick, one of the posters, wrote an article I totally agree with. It really reflects why I’m using Mac instead of Windows now.
Read about it here (Dutch), or here (Google translated, far from understandable)
For those who have to work with IP’s and subnets, I have only one word; Bitcricket IP Calculator.
It converts decimal IP’s into binary or hexadecimal IP’s (and, the other way around too); it gives you the IP class; it calculates subnets, with the number of hosts/subnet, and gives you the number of host bits; and many more!
Shiny tool to quickly do subnet calculations. Has proven it’s use when doing the Cisco CCNA tests. ;)
For a few courses I’m following at school, I need to be able to run Windows.
As I’m owning a Macbook Pro (with Leopard) that shouldn’t have to be any problem using Bootcamp.
I created a 5 Gb partition and installed WinXP a few weeks ago. So far all fine.
As I don’t really like to reboot into XP (I can’t access my mails, don’t have my IRC client, all my Camino tabs are closed, …) I tried Parallels.
So, after years of ‘why should I have a blog? No one is going to read it anyway…’ I finally made one. Don’t ask me why.
It’s probably going to turn out into a rather tech-blog, as I’m not the kind of person to write down my emotions on the net, or to keep some kind of diary, but nevertheless, hope you’ll enjoy it, or even better, hope someone might read it. ;)
