Treat you blog with Respect

hands I have blogged for many years, and at the top of my blogging experience I had to stop doing it, for personal reasons.

This happened two years ago… I was the owner of some blogs, under Portuguese language, and was participating on several others, posting and commenting.

I didn’t stop immediately blogging, I really stop posting new content, but I still leave my comments on some blogs(with less frequency).

Nowadays I don’t have a routine for “the blogging”, I even tried to maintain this blog, but I have lost many respect for it. The lack of available time was really an excuse for posting(now I see that)

If I had the right respect for it, I would be posting regularly information. It doesn’t have to be LARGE posts. It could be some tiny paragraph, or several quotations, showing my interest on some topic.

Vista tryout #1

My fist experience with Vista started bad and ended worst.*kidding* Not that Vista is a bad OS, it is good and pretty.
The installation was fast and easy, didn’t change anything, but I don’t have available space for vista, plus the slow graphics card (GeForce FX 5200 - 128mb), and a small pray, it worked and booted right.

In the first boot, I discovered that Vista has a boot manager - better than XP. After the first bootload Vista tested my Hardware and gave a few points for every section of it(processor, graphics, …) - got 2.6 at graphics…weeeee. After that was time to login and how pretty it was. Entered my new Desktop and voila - got amazed how good looking the windows are. Without the AERO theme it will look like XP, but the feel is another thing - the mouse interface with files remembered me of Gnome, and the right click scheme feels like Linux too…and then the first Blue Screen[forget the linux part] - Vista Crashed! It Crashed and has done a fast recovery, some count down and - boom - restart. The boot is incredibly fast for a ‘heavy like hell’ operative system and the login was just like a blink.

I won’t say much more, even because NVidia drivers didn’t work, they made the first crash and after a few tryouts I have quit - I didn’t spend much time trying to make them work, and didn’t crash anymore - and because of that, the graphics performance were a bit down.

I don’t want to tell you more, get it and see it for yourself.

P.S: Already removed Vista - Installed on Saturday Afternoon, removed in Sunday Night.

3 months…

3 Months Subscription - This is what I’ve won as “consolation price” for not winning the duhcoolies journal contest( and for being one of the 52 runner-up winners in the contest).

I know I could’ve done something better but I had a lack of time to spend in that. So I joined the contest just in the hope of winning something, and 3 months subscription is something.
This is the opportunity I have to explore the possibilities and “the good things” of being subscribed to DA.
