The future from 1979, predicting 2000 2008-08-16 01:07:43 It’s funny to see what people thought the world would look today back in the days. I found this page.

Defrag the mess. 2008-08-15 06:22:23 Systems like Ext3 (Linux), HFS+ (Mac OsX) don’t have the problems of fragmenting like FAT and NTFS. One of the things that is know with Windows from the start, was the fragmentation that files over the harddisk. There is an build in tool that can Defrag
your drive. But it sometimes take -Days- to get [...]

Noise equals music 2008-08-18 15:53:21 Everyone is experiencing music differently. Some really like plain bold old stuff, my included (sometimes, rare). Others like modern, the majority likes Pop culture stuff. For everyone there is a shoe that fits. I never really got the point of mainstream music. It’s sounded, still does, like the same crap rewinded again and again. Reason [...] Read more:Noise

Ambient workspace, how I like it! 2008-10-12 05:06:14
Go to the Flickr page
My current deskop. Cannot remeber where the background came from. The theme used is called Razor2, and it replaced the Luna theme, finally! The Cd cover you see in the right bottom corner is the CD Art Display tool. Hooked up to Foobar2000 player. It has it bugs, but still is [...]

Windows 7, looking at it from here. 2008-10-28 16:42:41 Still not switched to vista, Microsoft released the first Pre-beta (Vista had many) of Windows
7.
Like vista, Windows 7 will have an brand new interface design. Opinions Differ about the Vista Interface design, personally if find it -Good looking, Sometimes unusefull-.
It’s difficult to tell from an Development beta how the Graphich interface will sustain.
