Windows 7

It's very pretty. It's also pretty quick, faster than Vista anyway.

However, upon first installing it, it took me three hours to successfully connect my bluetooth mouse and keyboard. And even now, they are falling asleep after 15 seconds, so I've got to keep them moving or else everything becomes jittery.

The other problem I have is my HFS+ drivers in the form of MacDrive aren't supported on the OS, so I'm left without any music to use in Audiosurf. However, I have got Spotify and Last.fm for any general music-ness.

And that's about it.

And my MySpace profile is compatible with everything that I care about (Firefox). The CSS is also 25.29% smaller. Which always helps the dialup folk.

Lol. Something like that.

And it's coloured just like this website.

Orangeeee.

MySpace's inability to conform to standards still makes me feel sad inside, however.

I think everyone I know has already seen this.

Visit my Photojojo 'Time Capsule' for my most interesting photos from a year ago.

I want to go back. =(

Render it from the raw PDF (pretty big and graphics intensive).

(Plus, I don't know why or care why Wordpress is interpreting the HTMLs for the alignments like it is. Should still look pretty in RSS though.)

Internet Banking

Why must you be so not-letting-me-access you for the past two weeks. It's annoying. I want to see whether I've got any money, but I have to call the bloody bank to sort out my details.

But if it's called internet banking, I really don't see the point.

And I've got a lovely big mat today to cover up the hole in the carpet. Turned out the tape didn't work as expected, causing bigger holes. Silly thing.

ZOMG

Today was a bad day for networking.

First of all, my firewall died on me, causing my iMac to refuse all connections which confused the router. After fixing the firewall, the router was still confused and didn't acknowledge there was an Ethernet cable plugged into it.

After rebooting the firmware on the thing, it still wasn't recognizing the damn cable, accessing the router via my Nintendo Wii. I was like oh teh noes. After trying three cables to no avail, I decided to try setting up the WiFi. Copied all the details from the Internet Channel, connected, then told me I did not have an IP address.

At this point, I went to have a sandwich.

Then I came back and went through all of my settings. It was at this point I found out that the firewall software itself had hijacked the network settings and said that there would be no more incoming connections. Which wasn't good.

Stupid security software. It's alll supervellous though now.

And I need to stop posting posts beginning with Today.

Oh well. =)
