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.
