GCJ Bloggers

For some wonderful and happy reason, tromey,
mjw,
Anthony
and Jeff have all suddenly become active on
GCJ
again, all at the same time, after being dormant for
several weeks! For some weird reason, they had also all gone
dormant at about the same time.

This weekend I finally found out that the intermittent
and increasingly irritating crashes on my home PC while
building GCC on Linux was actually due to a defective RAM module - after removing the offending module, everything was back to normal, even after extended stress testing.

No to Windows Programming

I do not want to code for Windows any more!

As a developer, I have always enjoyed working on Linux
and have hated working on Windows. In the recent past,
I have been exposed to all sorts of Windows ugliness
trying to make GCJ work on Windows - I did not enjoy
it at all!

This just is not my cup of tea - I love working
on Linux and that is what I shall do.
