Vista Beta/RC1/RC2
Just a friendly reminder to all you Vista Beta 2/RC1/RC2 users out there.
Today is the day when your copy expires. If you use it past today, Vista will switch into “Reduced Functionality Mode,” causing the OS to reboot every 2 hours.
Back up thine data now, or be faced with the Windows ME-like results…

New Wheels: Conclusion
Well, I got me some new wheels.
Yes, it’s a Focus. It’s an ‘07, fully-loaded, has very few miles (around 17,000), and I got a heck of a deal on it.
Today at 6:30 is when I stop by the dealership to drop off the trusty Explorer Sport and pick up the new guy.
More details after I drive it [...]
Blog Updated
First, there was Jaker’s Blog, hosted on Blogger, and written because I didn’t want to do my Accounting homework.
Then came Jaker’s Blog 2.0, hosted on my site and running WordPress. It was good.

I’ll be damned if he was right.
Introducting the Microsoft [...]

LOLCODE
This site is absolutely amazing, especially if you’re a programmer (or have programmed a little bit). It’s even better if you are familiar with the unfortunately popularized “12 year old AOL-speak” lingo of today.

Pending New Wheels
Several weeks ago, I made a silent decision that if gas went to (God forbid) $4.00/gal, I would drop everything and buy a car that was easier on the wallet in the gas category. Once I made that silent decision, my mind started to subconsciously look for cars that were out there. Then last Monday, [...]
Hello to Gentoo
Hello! I’m back. Back on Gentoo. It feels good to be back. Especially that everything works now (except wireless, but that’s because I haven’t gotten to it yet).
And the system runs fast. Very fast.
Installing Gentoo wasn’t the only thing I was doing this weekend though (see post to come.. )

Farewell to Vista [for now]
Windows Vista and I. We go back. Way back.
There’s so many things I love about Vista. They’ve improved so much of XP. The design and “flow” of the OS is excellent. Sadly, there’s some key things that are lacking:
