So it’s no small secret that I have a thing for Microsoft beta programs. One such program, that was announced a few weeks ago, is the Windows Home Server beta. Microsoft are essentially pushing this thing as all the cool technologies that geeks have had in one form or another for a while now, […]

I figured I should do up a nice little freebie for those users who:

Visit my site
Have Vista Ultimate
Like anime

This probably extends to myself.. and maybe one other person, but what the hell. I’ve been hunting around my collection to see if there’s any particular HD anime with some slightly less lively scenes that would make […]

As loathe I am to send my Pretty Cure review to the inner depths of page 2, never to be seen again, I figured I needed to post an update on my new wallpaper. It truly is the greatest wallpaper ever. Also, considering this is the WEB TWO POINT OH BLOGOSPHERE now, I have even […]

This post has been superseded by a much better one. I’ve left this post here for redirection and archival purposes. Please follow the white rabbit to my newer MKV/OGM/MP4 support guide.
As you may or may not be aware, Windows Vista RC1 is upon us! I just spent a short while dicking around with the registry to […]
