I’ve got a huge backlog of unfinished blog posts (at least 300 at last count) so I’ve decided to create an entirely new one based on what this website told me to do.

Got an email from Microsoft this afternoon. Yes I am aware the release candidate for Windows 7 wasn’t the final version, and yes I’m aware it wasn’t supposed to be used after a cut off date, but this is ridiculous.

Logging onto one of the shared computers at the UniSA Mawson Lakes campus this morning I got this error message. Again.

Something to wake you up if you’re having trouble doing so, from The Wikipedias this time.

Earlier this month I detailed how I was able to use DOSBox to run Windows 3.1 versions of software for someone in Singapore, and how what started as a silly nostalgic hobby was getting me some work! Well I figured why stop there, and over the weekend with a few spare hours I looked into running Windows 3.0! In other news, I really should publish posts instead of hitting the draft button.

Today’s Twitter tweet of the day goes to Long Zheng in Melbourne:
longzheng: i’m sick of tech “reporters” labeling Vista a “train wreck”. they’re the ones who derailed a perfectly good OS http://bit.ly/41ngGM
He’s absolutely right, Windows Vista didn’t have any flaws whatsoever, it was the all the fault of the evil media! I guess it’s true what they say, denial isn’t the only river in Egypt ;).
To be fair, he sometimes posts some really good stuff. I was intrigued by this idea he posted on the 11th, partly because the problem he describes is one I’ve been talking about for a long time myself. I’d be interested to see what happens with it, it sounds like a great idea.
longzheng: toying with a new website idea to promote originality in online news and giving people the credit they deserve

- Windows XP SP3
- Debian Lenny + Gnome
- Windows 7 RC
My relative subjective view of sluggishness/performance on a ThinkPad X40. Shorter bars are better.
