About this blog

Hello I'm Dava

 

Blogged on Tech for over 10 years since 2007, pretty much retired though. Started on ZDNet, moved to OCN (where I cause a minor stir in the industry with 'Real World Performance And What it Means to You'). Had an argument with one of the admins on OCN for deleting an article.. without even sending it to me first so I could back it up and post elsewhere.. rest of the staff got on really well. An OCN friend started 'For The Republic' FB Group we admin'ed there til life took us in different directions. I still blog on the FTR blog and get OK traffic for pretty much no exposure (50+ per article avg).. looking to blog here as I am pretty sure I heard Linus directly quote one of my articles from back in the OCN days hehe or maybe I imagined it.

 

Enjoyed LTTs media from the start and even used to watch the team on the 'old' channel. ... the 'old' is in quote marks because.. LTT is what 11 years old and that old channel was what? 5 years old if that? hehe.. make myself laugh. I have a gifted IQ but am disabled.. so bare with me. My disability leaves me in much pain derailing my concentration.

Dava's Hitchhiker's Guide to 'End of Life' ..so long and thanks for all the chips!

(originally posted on the FTR blog on: Friday, 29 August 2014)   [Here is a lighthearted look at 'End Of Life' known also as EOL, when a product moves from the support phase to a coffin somewhere in the ethernets of a Skyrim graveyard.. or no longer supported by the manufacturing company, while this is not always the worst thing ever to have happened in existence.. try paying £4000-12000 for a MacPro and tell me in 6-10 years if you feel like having a little cr

Dava's Hitchhiker's Guide to Operating Systems ..BYOBF (bring your own babelfish!)

(originally posted on the FTR blog on: Monday, 12 May 2014)   [I hope you enjoy this lighthearted look at operating systems. now please imagine hitchhiker's guide voice in your head for the remainder of the article*] Far Far Away, long long ago in the awaking land that is the 1950's people got bored, and without the internet and iPhones and interstellar travel, it's easy to see why.. they wondered 'wouldn't it be nifty if this calculator thingy did somet

Dava's Hitchhiker's Guide to Computers. ..bring a towel..

(Originally posted in the FTR FB group on : 29 November 2013) Hi guys we've had a little influx of members new to building so.. as you do.. I thought I'd share some info. My speciality is Operating Systems. (I hope Rob does one of these on networking, he was a network admin a few years back as you might already know). I VBoxed for many years as it was a hobby of mine, not done it now since 2011 but i keep a hand in reading up about OS's from time to time. but in that
