Well as most of you probably know, I was on Dialup (Yes, that connection still exists). I just got connected up to ADSL yesterday It’s only a 8000/384 connection due to my line being on a RIM, so no ADSL2+ for me, even thought it is so much cheaper I’m loving the speeds of the… Read More
I saw this guide over at Chris123NT’s blog about an extensive power guide for Windows Vista that Kristan Kenney originally wrote. I have not tried it yet, but it looks like it would be a good start to getting performance and battery life out of Vista on a laptop. Once I try it, I will… Read More

Micah came to… Read More

Other than that it was quite decent, you never really got to see the monster until the end, and never did find out where… Read More
One of the most essential tools I think you need is the Image Resize Powertoy, now this currently only works with Windows XP, but after much searching around, I found one that does the job just as good as the one made by Microsoft, except it works with Vista. The Image Resizer for Vista is… Read More
Josh’s car broke down yesterday about 70km’s South of Sarina, and got it towed to Sarina which is about 35km’s South of Mackay. We got a phonecall asking if we can go pick him up, so being the kind people we are we set off on a long trip. Mind you, I did all this… Read More
I stumbled across this post made by Chris Holmes on his blog over at Chris123NT but to quote the original from Kristan Kenney over at Windows-Now. So, I’ve run across what seems to be a very serious bug in Windows Vista and it still exists in Service Pack 1 RC1 (and I really don’t know… Read More
Rachelle went out tonight with some of her friends and catch up with some from her work, so I decided to do something nice for her. She was saying the other day that she cleans the house and the next day it is a mess. So, while she is out, I decided to clean up… Read More
