I now no longer work for MIPS

sad but true

they hired 2 new guys to replace me after I left (on good terms)
as you can see I can type again yeah baby
you dont realise how important your hands are until they are put out of action I could not earn money without them

well I now works for MIPS as we (Algorithmics) have been taken over BIG U.S. company and all the good and bad that comes of it

hmm and I've been stuck down by illness of sorts that means typing is painful

women dont look good in this country any more

oh my !!

what a long time

after working at ARM I now work in the 64bit world and twisted calling conventions of MIPS for a company called Algorithmics nice bunch of guys always learning something new !

haveing to learn emacs properly though and gdb'ing gdb and finding out that GDB frount end made from TCL (insight) is the most bug ridden £$%"$%"£%"£$%

managed to kill 300 regression tests with a 1 line change (bit of help needed but still pretty amazed)
