Shiiiiiit!

I feel like shit. Not too drunk just tipsy. That's what you get drinkin proper stout really fast.

Roads, Mash and erm cough

I'm back from my one nite stay in Birmingham with my beautiful girlfriend and thought i should share the experience with you internet folks (well not all of it hehe).

To be on the helpful side i'm going to recommend a few things. The first being Selfridges sweet section. If you have spare money and your in Brum then get yourself to the bullring centre, get in selfridges and buy yourself some lucky charms!
Second is my favourite: The mash house, absolutely amazing food. You get a choice of mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes and mashed potatoes. With sausages and gravy of course :D
Its a unique but great place to eat, they sure know how to make creamy mash!

Yeh i know i lacked a little on recommendations but those were worth a mention. I'm gonna cut this post short as i'm at work :s but i'll leave you with my mis-interpreted quote about birmingham:
"roads are easy to cross arent they" (dont ask)

Gaz :D

Windows vista, is it really that bad?

I've been sceptical in the past of new operating systems especially Windows Vista. Being an avid computer user i expect a computer to run at a speed which i'm comfy with and hearing that vista was a resource hog really put me off. I don't have the best pc's, there now a bit outdated and slow compared to todays bigger machines. But i still expect a fast (or fairly fast) and flashy user experience, because i know it can be done. My prime example is Ubuntu. I ran that on my laptop and it worked like a charm even with 100% of the "bells and whistles" graphics turned on.

The other day i sat pondering as my xp machine ground to a halt once again. The installation was old and i'd tried to change that many things it was barely running. Thats when i gave in. "shall i try vista" i thought. After much thinking i upgraded...

Ahhhhh it was terrible, the upgrade i started at about 9:30ish at night was still completing at 20 past midnight. Then once in vista it was sluggish and held all the problems of the former xp machine it once was. Not satisfied but really wanting to give vista another chance out of curiosity i set on backing up my files.

After a slow and painful hour backing up a few files (yes an hour for a few files!) i booted from the vista disk, chose the hard drive, and pressed the format button *dramatic music* thats it there was no going back. Now i have a fresh install and other than minor hitches its working okay.

I'll post more as it progresses, no doubt something will go wrong. Please Microsoft learn something from Linux and Mac. Try and make something nice that doesn't need space-age hardware next time!
