I never use capslock, don’t know when I would ever use capslock and hate when I press capslock and don’t know it so I found you can disable the capslock key. It works very nice. Try it out here… [ LINK ]

Here is a link to the cursors that I’m using now. It the Umbutu Cursor theme. I think its much nicer than Vista’s or the Mac os style.

Also If you want to try something different. Try a Live version of Linux. It’s and operating system that runs completely off the cd. It doesn’t mess up anything on your hard drive. Most people have Windows but there are a few Mac people. Steve and Matt that means you… I don’t know the procedure for Mac but for windows it’s easy. I have tried many different versions of live Linux’s? I like Ubuntu and PClinuxOS. Either will work but PClinuxOS 2007 worked the best from the start. You can buy it for $5.99 on a disk or if you can burn a cd you can burn a copy of linux to cd. Once you have the cd pop it in your cd drive power down and restart. On the restart hit F12 right away a few times and you should see the option to boot from your cd rom drive. Some computers auto boot to a cd when it detects one so the F12 thing wont be necessary. If you have a laptop it will set up your wireless connection when you start. Let load up. It takes some time so be patient. when it’s done click on Firefox and surf the web.

I saw this on digg. If you are into photography or you own a digital camera you must check this out. It shows a photo taken with and with out flash. It is really something to see. [LINK]

My laptop died slowly today. I am now using a 10 year old laptop I got for free. Thanks to Mike and a old wireless card. I still have the desktop computer that works fine’ish but it’s in the basement and dose not make it easy to watch Anna from down there. Oh well. That’s my life. I like to call it the “Friedl Factor”.
Now I’m having problems with the layout of this stupid post!

I thought I’d start a book log of the books I read. I guess it’s just for my own knowledge so I know if I’ve read.
Here it is. Ben Bova Mercury
Ben Bova books are a sure fire. You can jump right in, just enough tech just enough plot. REVIEW: Another perfect story. I didn’t want it to end. Space elevators, nano tech, cargo transfer ship, moon base. All good. The only thing missing is alien tech.
