'Starfield Simulation' screen saver in Windows 7 64-bit
The only screen saver in Windows 7 64-bit that I actually like is "Ribbons". All the others are terrible and require way too much horsepower just to run a frickin' screen saver.
For the past few years now I've been purposely seeking out movies I saw in my teens or younger years and re-watching them. Many of these were sci-fi flicks where as a kid I had absolutely no clue what was going on in the movie, but watched it anyway. One of these flicks was Logan's Run.
I think it's safe to say that Internet Explorer 8 is the last "bad" IE that will ever exist, because IE9 is pretty darned good. I've been using it off and on and it's definitely a good browser.
In the '80s and '90s I was all about metal, although I never really dressed nor acted the part. Unofficially, it's par for the course that if you work in IT, you're a metalhead. I have no idea why this is, but it's pretty much guaranteed that in any IT dept. there's at least one guy who is.
A few days ago I started using Zimbra Desktop for my primary email account, which happens to be Yahoo! Mail. Describing what Zimbra is isn't exactly easy because it's not exactly a local app yet not exactly a web app either. In fact it's both.
Network is a movie from the late 1970s which, shockingly, I hadn't seen until very recently. It's shocking because it's the type of film that's right up my alley especially considering my college degree is in Video & Radio Communications. Come to think of it, I'm puzzled none of my professors ever mentioned Network, as it is a damned good movie that shows a lot of what happens in a live television news production studio.
I'm not a tattoo person, but these two are pretty frickin' awesome.
I received this in email. 99% of the time I can't stand receiving joke emails, but this is the 1% of the time where it's pretty good.
This is a slightly embarrassing story considering how much I know about computers, but I'm sure it will help out a few people.
Back in the days of olde, all movie theaters and drive-ins had a break half-way through the movie called intermission. It originates from stage performances where the show would take a break so the actors could get a breather.
