I heard some fun speculation about how it will enable them to directly compete with Microsoft on the X86 platform.
I know I would try MacOS on my PC; it looks more fun than linux could ever be (yes, I know its OpenBSD based, but still!) It’s got the polish that the linux desktop market has yet to achieve for me.
When I type stuff in here, it magically appears on the front page again!
I should use this power to do nothing but bitch about politics and Apple moving to Intel. My life is over now that the binary code that runs it will be decoded into a different set of internal processor instructions. Processor instructions that were forged in the fires of Mount Doom!
Seriously though, Mac fans will get over this. They adjusted to having processors from IBM , didn’t they? If you remember the 1980’s at all, that’s probably a bigger shock in retrospect than the Intel thing.
When that image above works, you’ll know we’ve fixed the problem preventing me from posting Viv’s new feature.
Awesome feature, Graeme!
My ribs still hurt sharply, I think you bruised the bone!
We need to get body armor and have full-contact kickball this Sunday.
Yes…yes indeed.
Contains one (1) leg-humping.
Well, we’ve been down awhile, haven’t we? For the sake of filling in those that didn’t know, I’ll copy the updates I gave in our semi-pseudo-faux-forum.

We’re being moved to a new server to fix a problem with our Ensim control panel that was preventing us from doing much of anything, such as backups, uploads, etc.
It was supposed to be a seemless transition. I suppose it is not.

What happened was that our ENSIM control panel just died, along with many others at Fuitadnet, back in mid-May. The support staff decided the quickest and most painless way to fix the problem would be to simply migrate everyone’s data to a new server with a properly working manager, rather than try to fix the old one while keeping everyone up. This was supposed to be a seemless move.
However, for whatever reason, our DNS record did not update. I’ve had fuitadnet refresh it three times, and the third time is the charm. If you check right now, Jux is finally functional again. Part of the problem was that I couldn’t receive email while Jux was still down, and part of the problem was…I have no fucking idea.
It’s going to be another day or so until everything is back up and running. The main page is fine now, but our subdomains still aren’t, and this is likely something I will have to reconfigure by hand (or else is a further problem with the DNS servers). I’ll have the new IP address of our ENSIM manager by tonight, but the staff page isn’t working yet, and that means it’ll be at least another 12-24 hours before I can update the website itself.
This is not something I took lightly, nor something planned.

Staff subdomain still down. If I could get in touch with Kenny I’d try to restore old /staff/, but I can’t do that right now. I think he’s reformatting his computer for linux or some shit, and I don’t really want to call his house unless necessary.
I’m optimistic about being able to update by tonight, still.
And that’s where we are now. Our main domains aren’t up yet, but we do have some access to our news and feature poster scripts, as you can see, so we’re back in semi-business.
Lots happened this past week when we were down. The first real kickball game of the season was held, despite nearly being stopped for rain. A feature on the outcome is coming. Team Hannah won by 5 points, 19 to 24. Team Hannah consisted of: Hannah Bobo, Samantha Boylan, Travis Rosenbaum and Peter Rosconi. Team Graeme was Graeme Hefner, Scott Hankinson, Kelley Sosebee and Vivian Rath.
Given another full inning, we would have trashed them.
Also, when it comes to WoW, I now roll with an epic mount. Just thought I’d mention that.
Finally, my school assignment for the summer is to watch Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, North by Northwest and the Birds. Lucky fucker = me.
