Windows FD

Windows FD: A semi-preconfigured version of Windows XP Pro Corp that has taken the BitTorrent community by storm. And unlike some other lame ass attempts I found it to be quite useful and as such it now replaces the old SP1 slipstream that I’ve been using for ages.
What you get:
- Windows XP Pro corporate with [...]

How forums work …

Annoyances.org: How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

… 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add “Me too”.
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again …

More BitTorrent related

While on the subject I noticed that Empornium.us is facing shutdown. Apparently someone has been running the site off their employer’s office connection and now he is gonna find a new job so bye bye freeloading. I wonder what kind of employer lets you run something as bandwidth intensive as Empornium on their servers …
Anyway, [...]

Suprnova.org anniversary

Suprnova has been up and running for exactly one year today. Can’t say I was there from the start, but I have been checking the site three - four times a day for the last 10 months or so. It’s probably the site I visit most often. It’s hysterical when you think about it. According [...]

Radio Blog

RADIO.BLOG
Nice concept that I haven’t seen before. Could be something to consider for the future. Even if it of course presents a big copyright hole that could shut the site down just like that (even if I suppose it could fall under so called “personal broadcasters”). And the bandwidth usage must be staggering. Can’t tell [...]

Italics Test

Have we fixed the italics bug in IE yet? Have we? Oh, the suspense is killing me. For some reason the border (on the right) seems to go out the window as soon as there are fonts in italics (at least Verdana / Arial) next to it. What actually happens is that the box is [...]

Unruhe

Not much happening this week. The univ seems to be masturbating over the new and almighty but oh so superficial and pointless reorganization. Good for them. I so adore ignorant people who are walking on air. Especially when they fall and go splat. I’m a gloater, so get over it.
And on a similar matter, I’m [...]

Nightwish “Once”

The name of the new album has been revealed.
The album has been signed with Spinefarm / Universal and Nuclear Blast. With the sort of unpretentious album name and the heavily styled new promo pictures being showcased on the official website, it seems that Nightwish is attempting a fresh start. Or at least a slight shift [...]

Farscape, end of

Sometimes I wonder where I would have been without the BitTorrent protocol. Probably doing something really important. But enough about that.
Farscape is one of the first complete series that I’ve sat through, thanks to BT and a vacant schedule. And the fact that only four seasons were produced.
I thought it would be a good idea [...]

Oatmeal Rolls

I must say it was a tremendous success, baking oatmeal rolls that is. And it marks bread number two on the repertoire. What is the big deal?
Ok, here is the thing. Among my many and apparent flaws is the fact that I’m lousy at cooking. It’s not that I lack skill or interest, it is [...]
