Recently I downloaded Google’s attempt at a web browser. For the most part it is impressive. It seems to handle css rather well. I would compare it to using firefox. It does not suffer the typical issues of the IE variations out there, it does not suffer the same issues that Apple’s Safari browser has with redirects or other header calls. Overall it is well thought out and works great. More or less it is like they stole all the good ideas from the leading browsers and put it all together into a mash that they call Chrome. One issue I have noticed so far is rather trivial but could be viewed as a bug. I have included a little image to show the one and only issue I see so far.

Rather disappointed with the result of yesterdays upgrade to SP3 for Windows XP. I use a notepad replacement called metapad. I actually replace notepad.exe with it. That is “ALL” instances of it. This is done within micro seconds of each other so windows doesn’t realize it is being done until the files that windows would use to replace the alleged corrupt notepad with have been replaced so the one that appears corrupt is replaced with what is actually metapad. I have had windows XP pro installed for over 3 years now. My notepad replacement has never been an issue before.

First off I would like to say that this laptop has been a complete joke since the beginning.
When I purchased the laptop I asked the fellow at Staples if it included a restore CD because I intended to install WinXP Pro on it. He said that it did and that would not be a problem and claimed to have done the very same thing himself. I paid a little over $1000 USD for the laptop.

We have recently really pissed off some folks with our willingness to tell it as it is and as a result we have seen a serious increase in the amount of Spam related traffic. It could very well be coincidence but that is highly doubtful given the IP addresses of the offenders. Just the same we have investigated the traffic and found that the majority are attempts at email forgery where a Spammer tries to send email with our domain as the return address so it would seem to have come from us.

Hello folks, a few weeks back we had some issue pop up with Big G and their Adsense program. We have not spoken out about this for fear of Big G taking action against us by banning us from search results or whatever have you but have since seen so many things that cause disgust on the big G’s part that we wont sit idly by and watch.

I was just looking at our last addition to the downloads section and I see in the upgrade to the new site the download section broke. All you would see when trying to download a file was a white page with the files name :/ That was a simple fix but I want to apologize to anyone who had been trying to download one of the files. All is back to good now

About a week ago we had noticed the image server we were using for the album art covers was failing. Looking into it we found that the image server must be under a high load and there really is not too much we could do about that since we do not own or control that server so we decided to add a new image server of our own to even out the load from all the album art covers. During the process though we had to shift the load somewhere since the image server was down about 80% of the time. I set up a small private server that handled the image requests until we could get this all worked out.
