Long time

It has been a really long time since writing here in my blog. I never really figured out what I want to say after all of these months. Due to a closing of an OfficeMax nearby I have a new laptop. Naturally I looked for tweaks since this is not the fastest out there, but for $267 with tax who can complain. What I did find was there are few recent notebook tweak articles out there. Many are dated on ‘03/’04 with the most recent being around 2007. I would think with netbooks on the scene and the general popularity of laptops there would be more tweaking articles.

So I am thinking of collected a set of general recommendations and notebook specific tweaks. I have to go now, so more on this later.  kbc

Short Stuff

Just a note to remind myself to write to this thing more often. Firstly I have a new PC which has been pretty easy to set up and adjust so far. Core 2 Quad, P45 motherboard, 4 gigs of ram. Runs virtualized OSes well: Ubuntu and Windows XP so far. Will try to install Mac OS X 10.5.6 soon.

Reached level 80 with my gnome warlock on World of Warcraft. Have not run a large number of heroics yet.

House is still a bit of a mess after household sicknesses and such. While all of us here could be really anal about keeping everything, we do want to relax.

Here’s a good shot of my son Liam who just turned one a short while ago.

Back to work

I’m back to work after my last vacation of the year. After August 21st of next year I’ll get an additional week of vacation. A long stretch from four weeks (13 years) and five weeks (20 years). Getting back to work was not really a problem, busy, but nothing intense.

Got both Sims 2 and Battlefield 2 to load using Daemon Tools and emulated drives. I have both originals, but I think Vista does not like SafeDisc DRM. I own the games damn it, what more do you want. Odd that I can’t find any way to get it working otherwise.

Just got the new Geforce driver with PhyX support. Wonder if it works on the G80 GPU.

Windstream has fixed the connection and my life can go back to normal. What, a party to prepare for?

Man I hope people don’t expect me to add content here. Firstly I’ll get my feeds from flickr and twitter going, then perhaps content for this blog only.
