Windows ‘Asta la’ Vista

I was bored.. so I decided to install Windows Vista Beta 2 via Virtual PC 2004 SP1 on my Shuttle-PC. The current MSDN version is now a ‘Vista’ build rather than Longhorn.
This article helped:
Help with building the partition. I used option 3 and got Virtual PC to do it. I didn’t seem to ever get [...]

Birds of a feather….

Flock. Wordpress (famed blogging tool powering the likes of the awesome istherefood.com) have begun touting a browser/blog tool. Built on the solid foundations of Firefox/Mozilla the browser is cute but nothing spectacular (IE 7 has become my browser of choice even though it’s still only beta) but the inclusion of a blogging tool is quite [...]

Menori

The Japanese never fail to impress, stagger, amaze (the right superlative is currently not in the English vocabulary). So much so as my love affair with the orient sparked the name of this blog.

The French

Joystick Wrecker

It makes cherry pie…

Off-line online gaming

I’ve been a follower of the MMORPG’s for some time now since I first got a free copy of Everquest for Mac. That didn’t last too long on my Powerbook simply because I found the interface a bit bonkers [and I was having too much fun producing pointless presentations in Keynote using the 'water ripple' [...]
