As of this writing I have 17118 files in my "photos" folder on my computer. These totals to 19 GiB and are mostly pictures taken by me from 2001 to now. The larger portion of these are also tagged by content and I've removed all the failed ones.
Just so you all know.
How's your photo folder?

I made the Nailblog a bit more resistant to cross site scripting attacks.
Go get the patch from the Nailblog page.
Update also includes a few minor bug fixes.

Ding! Level up!
Today my 6½ month old daughter learned to crawl.
I guess it's time to start moving stuff from the floor to higher places then.

But here's another row of icons.
Note that the detailed ones doesn't really look like me. I'm more skinny and have a smaller head. Nor do I own any green smiley-face sweaters.
Also. Click here for an animation on the drawing of that dragon picture. Ooh! Moving pictures!

So here's a short list of what needed to be done in order to install Windows Vista on a new HP Compaq dx2400 Microtower computer. I installed Kubuntu on it too, partly for comparison, but mainly because I think Windows sucks ass.
Windows Vista Business 32bit | Kubuntu 9.10 32bit |

You probably get what I'm trying to tell you by now.
I also might add that we're talking about a factory built computer package with Vista-ready stickers all over it. Funny you'd need Internet access in order to get Internet access for it. Funny it's not Vista-ready even though it claims so. So funny I'm ready to cry.
My story continues. Apparently Vista didn't manage to remove the old graphic drivers in order to install the new ones, so I had to remove them manually. So here's the rest of my tale:
It took two reboots to get from an empty computer to a fully working and up to date Linux environment. About an hour worth of time, if I recall correctly.
It took ten reboots to get Windows Vista installed and up to date. I'll still have to install the anti virus and all the programs I actually want to use. How much time this took is anyones guess. Actually.. Not as much as I expected. I think it took about two to three hours or so. But still.

why didnt you test windows 7 instead?

Will probably upgrade to either 7 or XP. It came with Vista.

Apparently they dropped support for my graphics tablet (Aiptek Media Tablet 14000U) with the latest Ubuntu release. That's annoying. I was really happy with it using Linux MINT 7 which was based on Ubuntu 8.10, I think.
Why remove something that works?
