After getting to sleep at 23.30 I was awoken at 1.30am by a surprisingly chipper ADT call operative, she was ringing to inform me that there was a fault on our works phone line which was causing problems with the alarm. I suggested that this could probably be sorted in the morning, she agreed, then added "but if anything does happen between now and then you may have a problem with your insurance". I thought I had better get down and check things out, everything was fine as expected but I decided because my daughter usually wakes up around 4.30 and it was 2am now I might as well just stay and upgrade the operating system on the other company directors PC. I have been putting this off for some time due to other peoples inability to back things up adequately yet remember everything they needed when they get the formatted PC back.
Anyway while installing the operating system and software I have made some progress. I have downloaded the MAME code, I have discovered that I need a separate front end but best of all I have found some contributions I can make.
The one problem I have is that it isn't completely open source it cant be used for commercial use, I don't think it matters too much its more the interaction that counts I think. I have a lot of documentation to read so I hope it is OK.
I AM TIRED!!
