You know, adding humor into your life is probably one of the best work pimps we can suggest. If you can’t laugh at the silliness of work sometimes, well you better keep that bottle of Maloxx handy.
This morning, I have a cartoon from Blaugh. Since I’m going back to fix the machines at the garage […]

I got an e-mail from Tom Hodgers today. Remember him? Yeah he was one of our contest winners. It sounds like Tom has been getting into MindMager and told me about a really cool new MM add-on called ThemeReader. Here is how Mindsystems describes it:

Did you know the daylight savings time is coming a month early now? You bet, it starts in March now, not in April. So the big question is, is your computer ready for this change?
If you’ve made the switch to Microsoft Vista you’re OK. Microsoft has already updated Vista for the new daylight savings time rules. […]

One of the most important things you can do to keep your computer, and applications, safe and happy is to keep it updated. Back in the day, when the Internet was young and I was doing tech support, finding updates wasn’t fun or easy. We pretty much had to do a lot of the work […]

Sure there are programs like Launchy, but I’m on a path to keep my new Vista […]

When we last left off, I’d set up a dual-boot partition for XP and Windows Vista. It went pretty well, I was able to use both XP and Vista. But no matter how hard I tried and using all the tips and tricks I found, I still couldn’t get the audio to work in the […]

So you know from my continuing Vista saga that I had to wipe my drive a few times:
Now one positive note on the “clean” install was that while I got a clean install of Vista on my drive, all my old files were saved. Yep, all of them. They were stashed away for me, ready […]

When we last left our fateful hero (moi) and Vista this is where we were…
I’m on the fence. I’ve told some friends, and now all of you, that I have an OEM copy of Vista for Business (64 bit) available to buy. I’m hoping, actually, that someone will leap up and want it (I’m only […]

In part 1 I talked about trying to get Vista to work on my laptop. In part 2 I went into my second try, which again resulted in me returning to XP. So here in part 3, I’ll bring you to the final aftermath—getting back up and running again.

At the end of part 1, I was resigned to go back to XP. It hurt. My machine was working faster, and well, I wanted to be running Vista!
So I boot from my HP-supplied XP install CD. I do a clean install and a format. I wanted to make sure that old Vista stuff didn’t […]
