Chalk this one up as one of those “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?” ideas. One of the biggest complaints with Windows Vista and multiple display setups is the issue of wallpapers. Especially if you’re like me, and have two displays of differing sizes - such as a 1360×768 (16:9) HDTV, and a 1920×1200 […]

Okay.. nevermind. Everything I said that was bad about WHS? It’s worse on this thing. I don’t get the occasional pause or hiccup - I get complete loss of network connectivity whenever I use the thing. It seems that whenever I try access anything for extended periods of time, the NAS box just drops off […]

Not content with just 1.5TB, and a case poorly suited for the task, I decided to go on an upgrade spree. I’ve been meaning to make a dedicated fileserver for ages now, and when the Windows Home Server beta rolled my way, it only strengthened my resolve to get all those goddamn drives out […]

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 […]

Update: Microsoft support managed to assist in resolving this for me. Basically, it seems that while Activation considered me genuine, Genuine Advantage didn’t. Through a few troubleshooting steps, I’ve managed to get them both to agree with each other that I am not, in fact, a pirate after all. I’ve been downgraded to Orlando Bloom […]

Do you have embarrassing chatlogs on your machine? Don’t want anyone to discover your secret stash of erotic Cars fanfiction and fanart? Are you afraid that your mother may rip the hard drive out of your machine and discover your shameful interests in music from Guns N’ Roses and Poison? Fear no longer, for I […]

So a few days ago, I promised to update my guide on how to get your favorite non-Microsoft endorsed formats up and running under Windows Vista RC1, RC2, and possibly the RTM build when that eventually hits. This time around, I decided to make it a little more fool proof, by adding pretty pictures detailing […]

I haven’t really mentioned this on the site, except the update on the hardware page, but a little over two months ago, I bought myself a notebook. A Dell Inspiron 640m, to be exact (which you may know in the US as the Inspiron E1405). I primarily got it as a portable media & Windows-based […]
