Has it really been this long since my last entry ?
(posted at 10:33PM GMT)

I have just about recovered from Christmas and my 25th birthday (it was on Boxing Day, for those of you 'orrible gits who forgot it!).

Many thanks goes to those who sent me texts, e-mails and even real birthday cards in real envelopes!

My TODO list is so mega-massively-huge right now most mortals wouldn't believe me when I say that I'm going to be busy all the way through to next March... still, all that work means that I get lots of money to spend on computers and wimmin' (heh, I wish!).

Not necessarily in that order, of course :-p

On a side note, I actually managed to get firmware source code out of American Megatrends for the MegaRAC G2 card; admittedly, they have kept their proprietary bits closed but they have given me everything else... and the thing even builds!

I only need a spare MegaRAC G2 to test the new build on now!

Watch this space.
