I’m in Love… with my Mac

December 3rd, 2007

seriously, it’s super good to use. so stable, reliable… ahh, the joys of having a ‘nix core. i’ve been wanting to get on mac for so long but only got to it now after the lifecycle of my previous fujitsu was thoroughly over. I lasted me for a good 5 years but it’s bye bye fujitsu.

my information systems infrastructure is now much more oriented towards ‘nix variants now. i love the idea of being able to play around with various variatiions of nix: mac, ubuntu, gOS, ubuntu server, fedora core…

i’ve never really dived into ‘nix systems until after graduation. somehow there wasn’t a major need to use ‘nix stuff back in school. the curriculum just didnt make it cool to use ‘nix so much. however, in the commericial world, it’s very different. reliability is a requirement and there is a strong business need to use secure, reliable, lightweight systems.

i’ve been putting myself through a rather punishing schedule of theoretical and practical learning about ‘nix systems. i know that it will take me a few years to get to a high level of proficiency, but it is now a personal goal to seriously master this.

initially, it can be tough, but with effort put in on a daily basis to learn it up, it shouldn’t be too difficult. especially now that I have some really good friends who can teach me really well.

strive on!

    Justin,

    Imagine a company where everyone uses Mac or Macbooks. Lucky for us, we do!

    We’ve just come out with our initial product called MorphhelpME. It isn’t much now but we’re dreaming of bigger things. And yes, I do believe in the Davids in Asia and in the JCurve!

    None of us are going back to PC and I believe so will you.

    Best.

    why not? all mac is good!

    but i think a mix of mac for workstations and linux for servers would be cool too

    so what does Morph Exchange do?

    We’re going the direction of SaaS – offering and operating within Asia.

    We’re developing a platform which we hope to launch by next year. We hope to attract open source developers who would help us test this and ROR enthusiasts as well.

    Appreciate your reply.

    Best.
