I have a separate blog that's about 25% done that I was hoping to post tonight, but seeing as how it is close to 4AM and I've got another early start tomorrow I'm going to save that one for tomorrow night and post this instead.
To those of you asking about the AT Mac section, it is coming. The site design refresh was pushed back from late May to the middle of June, there will be some new sections introduced with the new site - the Mac section inclusive. The first article in the Mac section will be the long awaited article about my 30 days with the G5 (and my subsequent integration of the G5 into my office). For those of you that are curious, the G5 is still running very well and it's still my primary workhorse. I will also add that the worst application I've used under OS X continues to be Microsoft Office X (ok so it's not an application), and that's coming from a user who is quite fond of the suite under Windows. I'll save the continued harsh criticism for a separate Macdate.
I'm slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things. It's been about a year since I've been able to have AT as my real focus every day and as much as I'd like to hit the ground running, I want to make sure I hit the ground sensibly. I setup my first test bed last week (the storage test bed) and things are proceeding smoothly, tomorrow (I guess technically today) I'm going to add a second and see if I can't get this new storage suite done before I leave for Computex.
That's right, it's that time again. This Saturday, Derek and I will be making the trip over to Taiwan to meet up with Kris and Wes for my first Computex in 2 years. I couldn't make it last year because the SARS-delayed Computex conflicted with school, but with that no longer an issue I'm ready to take the 14 - 18 hours of flights to wear a suit in humid weather that puts NC summers to shame. It's been so long that I'm having trouble remembering why Computex was my favorite large tradeshow, but I'm certain that once I see that show floor and get in the grind it'll all come back to me.
At this point I'm really exploring ideas for next steps. We're lucky enough to have a great team of writers here at AT now, giving me the flexibility to tackle a number of areas. I'm definitely putting storage as a top priority (finally), but I'm always looking for new ideas. Anything in particular that you all would like to see me handle? I can't guarantee you that I will, but I'll do my best to accomodate as much as possible.
Forgive me for any spelling mistakes, I'm dead tired and laying in bed on my laptop (not laying on my laptop...I know, my humor shows my age...times 10).
Goodnight and take care :)
