Hi
My friend Aldrich wanted me to make this post……….. Sorry.
My friend Aldrich wanted me to make this post……….. Sorry.
You may have seen my last post on the Tigers, and as you have seen, I didn’t like them too much. However, I went to yet Another game yesterday, and they won again, 2-10. I have to say, my faith has been restored in them. Hallelujah.
I just went to the Tigers game last night, and I have to say, they did really good. The final score was 2-10 (they were playing Texas). The most exciting part of the game was the 3rd inning, they scored 2 home runs and 3 regular runs.
Sorry for the short (2 day) downtime, it shouldn’t happen again, hopefully.
I love it when big companies make videos to poke fun at themselves. This is one of those moments.
Many people may not give a crap about sports. I only like baseball.
As some of you may know, I live in Michigan. Now, the only Major League team in The Great Lakes State is the Detroit Tigers. This season, they were projected to be like the best team out there. Well, those projector people got it all wrong: they are doing worse then anyone could have thought. They have won 2 games out of 12. Detroit Tigers: You Disappoint Me.
Sorry about the irregularity of these posts, I’ll post them when I get the email from the tracking company from now on. Now, on to the stats for the week of April 7-14.

OK, Well, you may have read about me making a Social Network. Well, I’ve decided to post some of the roadmap for that site here (although I’m not giving away the name quite yet).
Beta1
As some of you may (or may not) know, I run Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. It runs great for what I want, and it has a lot of nice features that you don’t see in XP. Recently, Microsoft released the installers for vista sp1. Last night, I was bored, so I installed SP1. The install went smoothly, completing in under 2 hours. However, after I rebooted my computer, something was absent. The sound! I was too tired to deal with it last night, so after I woke up this morning, I did a quick google search. It returned a link to the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
I had already tried to restart my computer (Several times), to no avail. So I followed the second step (unplug your speakers, and then plug em back in). Bang! The audio software popped up asking me what the jack I had plugged in did (I have 5.1 audio). YAY! My audio works again!
As for other things I’ve noticed in SP1, I’ve found a few in my few hours of use.
First, The reboot time of my computer has been cut in half. It was somewhere around 4 minutes before the upgrade, and now its down to 2.
Second, the general OS itself feels a bit snappier. Prompts come up quicker and Firefox and iTunes both load faster (amazingly), among other things.
Finally, I’ve noticed that my custom UXTheme was disabled after installation. You can repatch it again, but I haven’t gotten around to doing that yet. This was kind of a disappointment.
Overall, I greatly enjoy the upgrade to Vista SP1. This upgrade has made my decision final: I will never go back to Windows XP.
Well, I guess I haven’t been posting the stat updates on Mondays, but here is the stats for April 2-April 9
