My Linux History
Why GNU/Linux?
Good question! Linux is one of those tech things reviled and loved in equal measure, though mainly for the occasional zealotry of some of it’s user base on both counts.
A Week With Leopard
Caveat: This is not an all encompassing review of the new Apple OS - I'm not qualified to do that, this is purely relating to things I bumped into in the first week and a half of usage, and what I'm personally interested in and use.
Mac Setup
I currently own 2 current Mac computers as below. However, if you were to pry in the dark corners of my apartment, you'd find an old Powerbook which only works from mains now, and a desktop G4 Mirror drive Door which is now retired. Before these, I owned a Powerbook 190, now sadly not functional.

CPU: Intel Core Duo 2GHz
Computer Usage - Sept. 2007
It's only been about nine months since I last reviewed the software I use on each of my boxes, but it's been a strong year of transition (babies will do that, it seems), and this seems to have altered

Tech Review of 2006
It's always hard for me as a person to even approach this annual review of my online activities without referring to those event in my *real* life; that life when I don't sit in front of a machine.

My Gadgets - August 2006
Gadgets
Ok, let's get to the heart of this - I'm a techie kind of guy. I live in Tokyo. If you stick those 2 things together it amounts to a person who lives in fear when he gets his salary paid into his bank over whether the next weekend is spent in a bar, or poring over disturbing amounts of readily available technology in the bowels of denki-ya, or the fearsome Akihabara.
A Month with Zenwalk 2.4
I think this is the first time I've ever posted a review of a version of a Linux distribution.

2003 Reviewed
This is just a quick review of what's gone on in the world of brightblack and nanikore. I hopefully won't be going on about other 2003 events, such as the appalling MatrixRevolutions.
