Where is it?

So now that the underdeveloped world has installed Firefox 4 for 32-bits Windows, where is the promised x64 version? Yes, there is is nightly trunk version, but where is the release? Why oh why is 32-bit still the main development platform? Early adopters have x64 systems, early adopters are consumers that have the latest hardware (and they don’t mind testing), which by the way has been x64 for the past 7 or 8 years approximately.

WTF! Oh wait, there’s an Android version now. Right. Like I want a slow browser that eats away 40MB just to start on my GSM? Why embrace a new market when you don’t even have the capacity to keep up with the current clientbase?

It seems that switchbl8.nl now resolves to the correct IP-address. Probably for some time now, but life distracted me from the important things like setting up a new domain!

I’ll try to setup the new domain later this week, and redirect the blog to the new domain.

Finally did some work for switchbl8.nl. I modified the hosting options at DirectNIC, so it knows I host the domain. Changed the domainname-server to point to me. Modified the nameserver here to serve switchbl8.nl too. Downloaded the new WordPress (3.0.4) and extracted it.

More later.

Server outage

The server was down this afternoon. After reboot, my devices were mixed up, so I guess a disk (old one) died and that reshuffled the whole numbering. Up and running since an hour or so, not really sure whether I miss something or not. We’ll see.

SwitchBL8 as a domain

As long as I can remember, I used the alias SwitchBL8. It started when gaming got network-capabilities and the first “clans” started to appear. I was member of a clan of friends/colleagues, the [CBB]: Clan Brutal Butchers. At that time, we were brutal butchers. Look at what 15 years changes… 😉

Today I registered SwitchBL8.nl (or just switchbl8.nl) as a domain. This weblog will move eventually, but first I have to get everything in working order. I’ll keep you all updated.
