Hard Drive Failing?
2007-07-16 17:08:00
Well, after my previous entry, BSOD & NTLDR Is Missing, I turned on my monitor this morning and there’s that blue screen again and my hard drive magically disappeared. Now, I know I did not bump my case since then, so it can’t be that a cable is loose. But, I open up my case, ...

BSOD & NTLDR Is Missing
2007-07-13 21:20:00
First off, yes, it’s Friday the 13th. I’m not very superstitious on this date, but I’ve also never had anything horrible happen on this date either. Until today. Note, I didn’t even know today was the 13th until after the following happened: Last night I backed up Windows. (Lucky me, or subconsciously I knew something would ...

Windows Vista Ultimate in a Virtual Machine
2007-07-12 20:41:00
I’m not that fond of Vista just yet. Besides the annoying (are you sure you want to open this, even though you just clicked it?) messages, Vista does have some nice features that XP is just missing. Nicer looking interface Better system tray Clock supports multiple time zones to show more than one time A photo gallery Widgets, gadgets (whatever ...

Entry Dates Linked to Archive
2007-07-10 20:21:00
Some of you may have noticed that the dates for when my entries are written are actually links to the archive. For example, today is July 10, 2007, so if you move the cursor over July, it would take you to the archive for July 2007. July 10 would show you July 10, 2007 and ...

AJAX-Enabled Wordpress Themes
2007-07-08 09:30:00
AJAX seems to be a very popular feature on websites. I was curious as to how many WordPress themes are AJAX-enabled. Here is a large enough list of themes that have AJAX built-in. I am not including a preview with these themes, but there will be a link to the demo (if available) and the website ...

2007-07-05 15:21:00
Just about everyone would love to get their hands on a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate , considering how much it costs if one was to buy it. Even I would like to have one, two or three copies. I would sell them and probably keep one for myself just for testing. Getting a free copy ...

I know there are a lot of blogs that discuss the best WordPress themes, but sometimes I see themes in their lists that I don’t really think should be considered the best. Here is a collection of the best, in my opinion, WordPress themes not in any particular order. Included for each theme is a preview ...

AJAX Loader Image Generator
2007-07-04 16:58:00
For my search box above, I wanted to have some kind of animation for when the live search has begun. There was an image already with the theme, but, it wasn’t transparent enough; it showed white around the edges. That doesn’t look good on blue. Since I love those AJAX loader animations, I thought I would ...

Computer Slowing Down
2007-06-30 12:48:00
Computers can run slow for many reasons. If your computer used to be fast, then it probably isn’t the memory. It’s possibly fragmented files, a build-up of applications that have been installed over time and applications loading at startup. Another reason can be spyware, adware, virus, etc. First, check to be sure you need all those ...
