for the geeks…

April 25th, 2003

You know what’s funny? I’ve been playing around with Windows CE .NET 4.2 - on an emulator on my workstation. It comes with a compiler to build the OS - kernel and all - onto the platform you define - down to the hardware.. You can write your own “boot” drivers to supply the data that winCE needs to boot on your platform.. So if you can code in assembly, if you have to, on your hardware, then you’ve got it made.

Linux - for the hardware geeks. Go forth, ye geeks - and start designing your own hardware around processors (other than intel’s - or including theirs, if you’re obsessed with the Itanium), and you can build the perfect platform - no matter how big the box.

Nice, Bill, nice.

hate to tell ya hoss but CE is one of the easiest os’s for “newb” users to use in a server centric network model.

just cause it has bill’s name on it don’t mean it’s bad.

I tend not to use those icons.

They make anyone look gay.

Homo.

Catch that the icons are gay or catch that you’re a homo?

Heh… don’t answer that. *laff*

For the record though, you post so infrequently that I often do read everything you write (besides the fact that you’re incredibly worthy of course).
