What kind of sandwich is that, Steve? Peanut butter, banana and prawn cocktail crisps. I wish I could sleep. These midnight (4:18:33 am) snacks are getting ridiculous. I think I'll hit the Weetabix next. Cup of tea and a fag. Kids'll have me up at 8:30am </sigh>  4:21:03 AM

Do I ever move away from this friggin machine? Don't seem like it sometimes. Anyway, how's you? Bored here except for work. Bradley and Esme come back from skool knackered, and though Bradley's well behaved, Esme gets 'sensitive' We try to please... I think we do wrong, we should tell here her position more, but she's blackmailing us because we don't like the screaming involved in the battle of the wills that ensues.   3:14:09 AM

Are new Power Macs on the way?. Faster versions of Apple Computer's Power Mac G4 desktop can't come soon enough, analysts and Mac resellers say. Although gauging comparative performance is a tricky issue, Brookwood said that Apple appears to be losing ground--with the exception of programs that make heavy use of the G4's added instructions for multimedia tasks. "For general-purpose computing," Brookwood said, "it's real tough to make up for a 2-to-1 clock-rate difference." Such computing doesn't use the multimedia instructions [CNET News.com] Damn, I'm in the market for a new server. Thought, nay hoped, that I could get away with a 800 Mhz dual processor G4, whacked with Ram, running Frontier native in OS X and Apache. Maybe I should go for Windows -- oh no! Maybe Apple will bring in something stunning?   12:22:42 AM
