Happy Chocolate Bunny Awareness Day!

Let the Mac Hate Flow!

I takes too long to get things done on a Mac. Case in point an artist designed a presentation using a Mac and burned it on a DVD. The DVD did not work in a DVD player or a PC, it only worked on a Mac.

I called him up told him to put it on a hard drive and bring it into the office. I then burned a DVD myself on my Dell PC.

He then had the nerve to ask me to pay for his gas and validate his parking. I ignored him.

Microsoft Vista SP1 - Part 4

Update! My nVidia 8800GT OC/BFG, yeah baby, is idling at 60-61 degrees Celsius. That's a full 10 degrees Celsius less that normal. 71 degrees Celsius is chilly for a graphics card like that, 60 degrees Celsius is sub-Arctic, well for a video card at least.

Microsoft Vista SP1 - Part 3

An undocumented feature is that my computer is quiter now. How so? Well it turns out that Microsoft Vista SP1 has fine tuned its display capabilities for laptop and sub-notebook computers. So I thought, hey I wonder if this works on desktops too?

My graphics card, an nVidia 8800GT OC/BFG, yeah baby, idles better. I was able to remove a case fan from my computer to reduce the noise. Which means the volume of my TV is much lower now. Making my neighbors that much happier.

Tax Incentive Rebate?

I can't wait until my Tax Incentive Rebate arrives in the mail. Why? Because George Bush is getting me a new hard drive. Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Only $129.99 at New Egg. That's 640 Gigs!

Microsoft Vista SP1 - Part 2

So far so good. The complete install took a full hour and three restarts. My computer starts up faster now. The other notable change is that the "Search" function has been removed. Good thing I have Google Desktop. I will post more later. But I am alive and browsing.

Microsoft Vista SP1

CARPE DIEM! I have decided to install Microsoft Vista SP1, while nursing a very good and well deserved hangover from St. Patrick's Day. I will be back to post of my success on this blog. If you don't see an update in an hour everything has gone terribly wrong.

SXSW is the New Sundance Festival

Yahoo, Google, CitySearch, Dell all have booths at SXSW this weekend. It is like the New Sundance, back when Sundance was cool, before it became a shopping mall for SWAG.

SXSW is a music festival in Austin Texas from March 7th - 16th. If you can't make it to texas then tune into DirecTV's channel 101 for 24/7 music coverage. The 101 channel will carry music coverage from March 13 to March 15 to catch eight hours of daily live coverage starting at 5 pm ET. If you don't have DirecTV, then you fail at life.
