Upgraded my ISP Account
A small update about my ISP account. I do not have an HDTV and won’t be getting one any time soon (unless I get lucky and get a load of money suddenly) so now that my ISP (UPC.nl) has introduced new accounts with discounts it was worth looking into it to see if I could save some money. Not really, just a bit, but I got more in return for it.
Austin Texas
On Justin.TV I am talking to some very nice people on a live cam about Wordpress and vBulletin (and about how much Drupal sucks).
Here’s a plug to them

Using my Mac Software
When dealing with data such as a video file, audio file, text document, spreadsheet and such, I have always been told to use a office solution of some kind. Something that ties things together. So when I moved away from Windows to a Mac solution I have purchased additional software solutions to replace for example Microsoft Office. I’ve also tried out a lot of open source solutions. And while there are great programs out there that do the job, I still felt like I was perhaps missing out on something. Leopard provided the solution.
MacBreak Tech Podcast
So, today I think it’s time to let everybody know I have tried to avoid listening to Mac Break Tech from PixelCorps.tv. I expected it to be like Mac Break Video, short tech chats about something trivial. I used to love Mac Break Video, but now it’s just about that moron who has a book on how to do something with the Mac (final cut or who cares really). So I thought this would suck. Verdict: It doesn’t!
CES 2008
CES 2008 has started and all the tech sites are going crazy over it. They’re posting the thinnest and largest monitor, the easiest new devices and the super cool technology etc. Personally I am not impressed, but I should be.
Windows Oh Windows Why Are You Such A Pain
Today I’ve tried to work on installing BootCamp 2.0, doing a 32GB partition for Windows XP Pro with SP2. Boy oh boy, that cost me a few hours of nothing but frustration. After a lot of screwing around, a lot of reboots, a lot of forced shutdowns and a lot of swearing towards Microsoft .. it’s finally here. A working version of XP so I can play my old games like Half Life 2 and Counter Strike: Source. And .. I had to write a review which required native Windows (no emulation) for a specific benchmark program.

Die Hard And Fireworks
Yes! The HDDVD Box with the four Die Hard movies has arrived. And it’s the 31st of December today, which means that we are enjoying enduring an evening of old classic movies or Christmas movies, and top100-everything lists on TV, speeches and musicals before we start having fun with friends and family, set of fireworks and get drunk. Not me! I got Die Hard *grin*



Revisiting Scrubs
It has been quite a few years that I have been enjoying Scrubs and I am following with anticipation the news if they get an 8th season or not, or if the 7th one is really the last one. Let’s hope for the better. But despite chatting about it on wetalk.tv/scrubs I have also gotten the episodes from s01 to s07.
