the muses of a tierd windoze user

Today windows barfed up the famous blue screed of death no less that 3 times and besides that there were at least 2 times ware it just skipped the blue screen and went right to rebooting. I have to say that all this is making me kind of reconsider my habbit to use my windoze computer so much more that my old power pc mac with a Nvidia go video card, maybe it is time to pull out the ol' power book and star life anew with a mac.

Halo 2 vista on XP

A company called falling leaf systems is working on an API that lets windows XP users run windows vista only games. This is a fact that I am very very excited about because it means I can play halo 2 on my xp maciene. I used to have vista but I uninstalled it because of the reasons listen in my "to hell with vista" post. When late july comes around I will be glad to fork whatever price they want for this software as long that price is less vista home premium.

ClipMarks

So after I installed a new system I do what any other sane person would do and I install Firefox plugins like theres no tomorrow. One particular plugin that I game across in called clipmarks and its purpose is to let you create and share little scrap books of text movies and pictures that you find on the web. I think it is fun I I really recommend it.

back to firefox

Today I think I may go back to Firefox and it might just stay that way for a while. I have said this before but now that I see that Scribe Fire is a good way to blog from my browser and that there are Firefox extensions out there that let me sink my bookmarks with delicious FF may be here to stay. Besides just being able to do everything that flock could do(that I cared about) FF can also support more extensions. Your befuddled blogger over and out.

to hell with vista

Today I wiped my hard disk and replaced vista with XP. At first I thought that vista was great, ya know it auto installed my drivers and that sort of thing. Then I found that many of my programs would not work in vista and when I bought Halo 2 for vista and it did not work on vista, that was the straw that broke the mammal's back. I think that if M$ wants to make a successful OS they need to th make it backward compatible, at least for the most part. I might buy vista later but that will be only when it's really necessary. Now I am blogging from Linux and installing XP on the computer next to me. Your disappointed blogger over and out.

This seems to pride itself on good design and it is right to do so, their applications look beautiful and they are functional. The program nostalgia is the greatest for exploring flicker and Harmony is like walking in 3D through your music library.
