I took the plunge and went 64-bit, Part 2

June 3, 2008 | No Comments Posted

As you probably read here, I upgraded my notebook to Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  As of right now, I'm still with 64-bit and won't switch back!  It's like a breath of fresh air; it's stable, fast, and very reliable.  I mainly think that it's far more stable because the system isn't dragging behind a semi-truck full of legacy 16-bit shit from the stoneage of computing.

I've put my notebook to sleep multiple times over a period of nineteen days and I haven't had to reboot the machine once!  Loading program after program, it's just stable... rock stable.

I took the plunge and went 64-bit

May 7, 2008 | No Comments Posted

I put 4 GB of RAM into my HP Pavilion DV9235NR notebook and installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. At first I thought nothing would work but much to my disbelief, everything worked.

All of my favorite applications work wonderfully on 64-bit Vista. Surprisingly, it runs faster than 32-bit Vista and has far less problems than 32-bit Vista had.

Why didn't I go 64-bit earlier?!?!

My hair is naturally a dark brown.  Here I am, 26 years old and I already have gray/white hair in some spots on my head!  Seriously, WTF!

Parents and Birthdays

March 5, 2008 | No Comments Posted

Ever felt that no matter what you did was somehow wrong in the eyes of your parents?  That somehow, even though you thought you were in the right they felt that you were wrong?  Felt that you were a disappointment to your parents?  Well yeah, I feel that way.  Until now.

So, I confronted my father today and said what I had to say, asked what I had to ask.  I just came right out and said that with the way he acted around me that I felt as if I disappointed him somehow.  When he looked at me and said that I wasn't a disappointment to him it nearly knocked me on my ass.  I replied that it was news to me.

I didn't know that.  I always thought that he thought of me as a failure, someone who didn't live up to his expectations.

Well, my birthday is coming up in a few short days in fact.  I'm going to be twenty-six years old, damn I feel old.
