No updates since January?! Where the hell have I been? A complete overhaul is in the works. Stay tuned …

I have been using Windows 7 BETA for a little over a week and a half now and I have to say I definitely love it. I had a rough beginning with sound issues and stand-by issues, but I was able to clear it up pretty easily with a little help from Google. Install was a breeze as I used the Windows XP partition manager to carve out 30GB of space on my other hard drive. After downloading the .iso I used Virtual Clone Drive to mount the .iso and ran the .exe file. After about a half hour and a few reboots Windows 7 was completely installed.

The good:
Windows Aero – I love the new windows interface, eye candy without too much strain on resources.
Usable – My family was able to pick up the differences and accommodate them, although they still accidentally log me off or shut down without realizing.

The bad:
Still buggy – I know its still a BETA, but there are definite issues with logging off/ shutting down. This could be a problem with my hardware but I doubt it.

The ugly:
Nothing that shouldn’t be cleared up by launch time.

I have decided to close the forums for good. There is virtually no activity and it is pointless to keep it going any longer.
The forum is now closed.

Just wanted to wish everyone out there a safe and happy new year.

New theme. I am also working on a theme to match the forum. Any problems let me know.

Somehow malicious code was injected into the site. Avira AntiVir Guard says it contains recognition pattern of the JS/Dldr.Agent.BJZ Javascript virus. I don’t know how it got there but I am going to do my best to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Please make sure you run your virus scanners to make sure you weren’t infected. One side note though, the virus didn’t get picked up by the scanner under Firefox, only Internet Explorer. I don’t know if this means that Firefox didn’t try to download it or the virus scanner just didn’t notice it.

Comic legend Bernie Mac died yesterday from complications with pneumonia. He was 50.

Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

“The world just got a little less funny,” said “Oceans” co-star George Clooney.

I have changed the theme of the site to my latest creation called dark5. Let me know what you think.

Comedian George Carlin, known for his edgy and provocative material, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday. He was 71.

Take Two Interactive’s CEO has announced that Grand Theft Auto IV has officially gone gold and that copies will be shipping out to retailers next week.

The CEO was quoted in saying that the “trucks [will be] rolling next week, and there will be a lot of them”.
