FFXP My New XP release (vhd link in first post finally!!)

[Mevi]

I've always done my builds on a hdd, partly for speed, partly the ease with which I can plug it into the laptop and access all the partitions. Once it's running ok, I image a USB stick from it and set it running 24/7 and try to kill it.

Maybe I have an unfair advantage in that I used to build, install and support ePOS systems for a living. Touch screen cash registers, and stuff.

Mevi,

Yes you have a nice advantage there.

I started initially and mostly testing using the Zif or mini IDE drive; then going to USB stick and finally to USB SSD. Lately instead I have been shortcutting it mostly to USB sticks then no testing really to USB SSD sticks. Lately just letting 4 jogglers run 24/7 with just mostly remote interaction and some basic touch stuff.

Interesting mention of ePOS machines.

I "played" with that world in the 1990's some initially using light pens, then IR, Capacitance and Resistive CRT screens.

For a few years (2-3?) in the 90's my children each had old (today standards) CRT touch screen monitors for each of their computers.

I had simple graphics and games for them to play on them with. They were basically my "testers" and help me with my poor color rendentions.

In the 2000's at a different level; played a bit with kiosks, middleware product development and global kiosk deployment; way way different level though...and it was maybe 2-3 years from the get go to deployement...

Never did get to my Christmas Cards today.....

All working here no errors on my usb SDcard ?(through a hub) still have ff installed! only problem is wifi is broken? seems dhcp not working? saying its connected but no IP no? also no lan driver installed?

[danfoshizzle]

Wow that's a new one no wifi, and the LAN is installed but can be a bitch some times,

That is a slight advantage there mevi,first time for me doing this sorta shit.

Although did once build a rom for the San Francisco it was rubbish lol

I considered getting a San Francisco for a bit. Got an iPhone instead.

I worked for a company called Xn who make touch screen tills, clients were dotted around the country, all pubs, clubs, hotels, restaurants, holiday parks... all hospitality trade. Did IT for a decade until I burned out - worked for Essex Probation for a bit, now I'm an alcohol counsellor.

Dan what rom are you using on your san fran at the mo? Just trying out Cynagenmod myself after a spell with sweedish spring .... i think we would all fancy an iphone if the truth were known Mevi
I had a ipod touch, jailbroke it, broke it, fixed it, got bored, sold it and bought my san fran, just love the flexability even though an iphone it is not .
Working as a telecomms eng sorting out slow speeds etc also installing the new 40 meg infinity
Keep up the good work boys .....

@ hawsey currently using ginger sir fry b25, fast and stable but missing some of the bells and whistles of cm7, and yes got myself the san francisco as I could not afford an iphone, Although the san fran outperforms all iphones except the 4/4s lol

@Mevi, interesting name choice considering your line of work, mevi rhymes real good with bevvy, lol
