Another day… Another Vista Push.

http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/08/15/ms.windows.7.updates/ You know… My problems with vista are not some voluminous, ambiguous, undefined rant. The problems are real, and they make the OS completely unusable. Between my job and home I some how own three copies of it now. Take a wild guess how many of them I am using. If you forget the stupid forced obsolescence of tons of hardware(wireless/printers/cameras), the crappy drivers(nvidia/creative), the unfinished interface(why do we STILL have computer properties/manage, that link back and forth between each other?), the extra layers of gui crap on top of already buried functions of the OS(just try to configure that wireless network)… You still have to deal with god-awful slow speeds. Now server 2008 on the other hand… that is something. THATS more like it. What we don't need from you Microsoft, is more marketing. FIRE THEM ALL! THEY are the reason you are in this mess. No amount of bullshit telling me how "great" vista is will change anything. I desperately hope windows 7 will come better. My career depends on it.

Jenn… neverwhere.com is coming, but you blog is back up at jenn.mcbeen.com.
Joe… Your blog is back online at joe.mcbeen.com
The BBS is backonline as well. Complete miracle.
I'm staring at CPG right now trying to figure out how I want to attack it. We'll see.
Getting Better

Everything is finally coming back online. I'm in the process of restoring the site, but some of it may be a complete loss.
For things like coppermine, I have all the photos, but the since the db crashed on the old server, I cannot move the meta data over… kinda important. Same with the BBS. Not sure what I want to do about it for now. Ugh.
Anyways… Joe… your blog will be back online soon.
Jenn… I'm working on it.
