I was randomly looking up a date on the calendar using Windows 7 Beta today and accidentally discovered a new feature! Turns out this feature is also in Vista but I guess I never noticed in the past two years of using Vista. I’m sure many of you know about it but I just thought that it was worth sharing. In Vista, if you click on the clock in the bottom right corner of the task bar, then a little calendar widget pops up with a cool analog clock on it like so: What I realized is that if you click on the Month name it will “zoom out” the...

Maybe its the fact that my sinuses are horribly infected due to allergies and I have had a fairly constant headache since Sunday. Or maybe its the fact that its Hump Day and I’m dying for it to be the weekend. The point is, people can really start to annoy you after a while and here are 3 things that have been very annoying today. Mind you, it is only noon: Professors who insist on writing on a green chalk board in white chalk without turning on the lights that are intended to illuminate the white board. I sit in the second row, have near perfect vision...

Firefox is an excellent browser and I personally use it constantly. Installing Firefox is usually the first thing I do after installing a fresh operating system and I use Firefox constantly since I spend many hours on the computer through out the week. One common feature of browsers now a days is the ability to save your passwords. The first time you type in a password on a website, a nice little bar pops up at the top of the browser asking if you would like to remember your password. Sure! Most people gladly click ‘Remember Password’ so that...

Well this week has just been one of these weeks where I didn’t even have time to shave. I had a number of assignments due this week and a couple of exams that took a lot out of me! I went to the library with a couple guys to study for our Physics exam and ended up staying late which definitely helped on the exam but unfortunately I got sick! So the second half of the week kind of sucked considering I had a cold and a pretty constant headache. Fortunately though I was able to get enough studying for my Physics exam and Differential Equations exam and...

I certainly have neglected this blog recently but really hope to start writing on it more. I have been fairly busy with work but I’ll be done working for the summer in about 2 weeks so that is pretty exciting! Then I’ll start posting some more and will be working on uploading some of the programming projects I have been working on for anybody to look at. Anyways, time to talk about the title of this post! I have been looking for one of my flash drives all week and just could not find it. I threw some laundry in to the wash this morning and never...

Well, summer started a couple weeks ago and I started working as a PC Support Specialist again! As a part of my first week of work I started work on re-doing 18 Dell PCs that are set up in a “museum” type setting. These PCs have a variety of interactive Flash applications and websites that visitors can use. Naturally, these PCs need to be “locked down” as much as possible so that people can’t just press CTRL-ALT-DEL or minimize the browser window and mess around with the computer. These computers were not set up very well initially...

After finishing off my duties at the Engineering graduation last night it was time to finish preparing for my move back home for the summer! I am officially done living in dorms! Next year I’ll be living in an apartment off-campus with my own bedroom and own bathroom! CAN’T WAIT! I definitely enjoyed living in the dorm and I’m glad that I did it. It was a very interesting experience and I met some very strange people along the way but I guess that is the point of college! I am glad to be done with freshman year and very glad that I can finally...

Well, I started this blog a few weeks ago with the intention of keeping up with it. Then again, most people initially say they are going to keep up with a blog and then stop within a couple weeks. Starting a blog for most people is like making a New Year’s resolution the lose weight: worthless is most cases! Things have been rather hectic lately with the end of the school year finally here. I have one more exam tomorrow morning and then a Physics final on Saturday and then I’ll be done with freshman year! Oh, the joys! I’m definitely excited...

I was studying for my Physics quiz the other day and was reading a chapter on Gravitation in my Physics book when I stumbled upon the term “Great Attractor.” To quote my book, “The Local Group is part of the Local Supercluster of galaxies that is being drawn by the gravitational force toward an exceptionally massive region of space called the Great Attractor. This region appears to be about 3.0 x 108 light-years from Earth, on the opposite side of the Milky Way.” WOW! What an interesting concept and strange phenomenon. The first thing...

Hello world! I have decided to start another blog! I used to have one over on wordpress.com but then I stopped keeping up with it for some reason. I now have my own domain name set up and hopefully will be added lots of stuff to my site in the near future. I hope to upload some of the random computer projects I am working on and just talk about life. Hope you enjoy my blog! Thanks for stopping by!
