I’m posting this as a part of an experiment that John Walkenbach is conducting….. he’s trying to find every site that links to to the post below:

He plans to publish a list of everything he finds – and investigate any that are reported as unfound. Should make for an interesting little experiment.

How cool is this? Over on the
Very, very cool – and user extensible…. as
Well, the install of
I tried the 2 dvd’s I burnt originally and then tried a freshly burnt one too….. so I’ve got the hump with that machine for the time being!!
I’ll just have to go back to using
I’m trying it on some spare kit here now – a Compaq d330D P4 2.6 with 512Mb RAM – just as a straight install – stuff the Virtual PC idea….. I’ll post on progress in a bit – in the meantime I need to find my install key …. off to MSDN I go again….. I really should write it down somewhere!! 🙂
I’m guessing that I’m not the only person who’s going to tie all this together – but I’m amazed at the sudden buzz around
Well, I left the

All in all, not a bad start to the day!
Well, I’ve fixed the image problem – but it makes it much lower resolution than I wanted to use… so I’m guessing that some

Well, unless I can work this out, it seems that my install image has kinda bust the blog…. or the blogroll at least!! The width of the image seems to have pushed all the blogroll stuff to the very bottom – as the “central colum” isn’t wide enough to fit it all in….. I’m going to try resizing the image – but I guess I’m going to have to learn some php and work out how to make the colums resize on the fly / automagically…. or even just learn how to make it bigger full stop!!
The Gimp seems pretty good for this sort of stuff – but I’m a total novice with it…. so the image sould get a little fubar’d before I’m through!!
Well….. all I can say is – don’t expect it to be quick…..
Admittedly, I am running it on a P4 1.7Ghz Machine – but there’s been nothing else running for the last 3 hours – and it’s got 512 Mb RAM allocated to the VM – so it shouldn’t have a problem with that….. it just takes ages to complete. I’ve been looking at this for the last 45 minutes…
The progress bar gets to the end, and then starts again….. over and over and over…… I’m sure it’ll be lovely when it’s finished….. I can’t wait!!
I’ll let you know what it’s like in the morning……
On a related note, the memory upgrade for my laptop has been dispatched – I’m buying 512Mb each month (this and next) to upgrade it from 256 to 1Gb – which hopefully will make Vista a more enjoyable experience for all concerned!! Once it arrives I’ll actually start the upgrade process on that – based on this experience, I think the memory might be a killer right now!!
I’ve also just downloaded the Beta of the
From what I’ve read, it’s designed to keep folders synchronized between machines – so I should be able to sync my photo’s from my PC to my laptop at home for example. I’m currently using
