BrandonNew Stuff for me!
I've just ordered a 4GB CF card for my thin client that I will end up paying for. Also my sister was borrowing a keyboard and spilled stuff on it, so my dad is buying me a new Logitech 100, pretty nice, and hes getting a P3 Kill-A-Watt so we can test how much power shit uses! I plan to use the keyboard and CF on my thin client, install Syllable and use it as an everyday system, in the process learning C and working to improve Syllable.		2009-04-019:02 PM

Learning on C are we? Remember: "garbage collection."		2009-04-0110:07 PM

C gives you a lot of power over your computer, but it's so darn frustrating when you type a letter wrong and the entire program crashes and you don't have any idea what happened.		2009-04-0111:39 PM

My thin client was $20 including shipping, 300MHz National Semiconductor Geode (Its about as fast as a P100 or P150, but needs no fans so the system is 100% silent, I can't tell its on), 64MB PC133 RAM, with a 32mb CF as its primary storage, plugged into a CF to laptop hdd caddy. I know syllable will run, I had it on a laptop hdd and plugged it in. Yeah, I figure its time for C, I want to help the Syllable project, as long as they keep things simple for the end-user, low hardware requirements, and keep network minded. I'll probably have to develop for Syllable on my Core2 or my Athlon, 300Mhz seems like not enough, but a Dual Core should be enough :P PS: I'm also building a Quad Core system for my uncle (hence the stuff, the more you buy the more you save, shipping wise), Phenom X4 9650,4GB DDR2 (2x2GB) its gonna be a beast.		2009-04-026:52 AM

What media does it boot to? Some boot to a permanent flash chip.		2009-04-021:39 PM

I looked it up, I think it boots from CF maybe. Also it says it runs X windows.		2009-04-023:25 PM
