But It's Pretty

So I caved and I got Vista.

You know what? I don't care. Opes Source, it's great, it's wonderful, it's free and beautiful and it's XGL, it's powerful, it's secure, and it doesn't like my Radeon so the OS that recognises it wins me.

And all MS Operating Systems I've tried in here have been smooth. And now this one utilises all 256MB of memory much better. So yeah, sorry Mr Shuttleworth, I'm using pure evil and until you make something that doesn't crash X.org every time I even try a Live disk, I'm using Vista.

And you know what, I like it. It works, and it's fast. Especially Sleep mode, which didn't work under XP. You want to see fast booting? It's running before my monitor has degaussed.

This isn't a major update. I reinstalled everything, I formatted, and I'm totally into this girl and can't get the courage to tell her I like her. But aren't I always? I spent a fun evening with Qian, and Dan came along. Other Qian threw her laptop in anger and destroyed it, and we got to look at it. But she cooked us food. Dan and I flew kites all afternoon, and we saw that dude who introduced us to kiting about a year ago. I'm sure the photos are on Flickr. I'll check. Oh, here it is.



Anyway, the lacklustre wind made me think there was something wrong with the kite, and this guy helped us and told me it was fine. He knew how to fly, he had talent.

Natasha's gone home, it was good to see her again. She saw the two beautiful monitors in cahoots, and sadly since then one has died. I'm tempted to go in and try to fix it, but Dan recommends against it.

Anyway, busy day tomorrow. I hope you are all well.
