Office 2010 is here

Some screen shots of Office 2010 beta 1.

Physics Fail

 

V = Delta x / Delta T, this could be >0, = to 0, or < 0

 

SO ANY NUMBER RIGHT?!

Wow, a 10 minute feature

Ace, that feature lasted about 10 minutes.  Knarly

Why me?!

It would seem I have been chosen by twitter for a Beta RT program, cool!

Multitasking mania

I wanted to test Windows Seven’s ability to manage many applications on a reasonably low powered machine, so I launched some of my development programs, all of office 2007, iTunes (playing some metal), and a whole host of other applications, the results were impresive.  Although performance did take a large hit from all that memory and CPU usage it did not crash and things ran rather smoothly, here is a screen shot of the task manager running on top of all the other windows

Some new music to program too…

For a long time now I have advocated that fast heavy music helps me type, think and program.  Perhaps it is only because my mother played it to me as a baby (did she mis-hear that Beethoven is what makes babies smart?)

Now I program away while listening to System Of A Down, or Cradle of Filth – and so on.  Today we got some new music, two System of a Down albums, the new Megadeth album and some more Metallica (7 of 9 are owned now…)

It perhaps has escaped your attention why this is important and I am blogging about it, to be honest there isn’t much reason than to add some personality to a not so popular blog.  I am really only writing this so any readers out there know a little more about me as a person.  I will try to follow this post up with similar posts giving some meaning to who I am and what I like and what I do with my time.

Space Cadet Pinball for Windows – 7?

Disapointingly in Windows version 6.1.x (Vista + Seven) Microsoft have put pinball down after many years of Windows Feature service,  Now though it can be played once more in modern versions of windows.  Well sort of.  I have been running Windows NT in a VM and set Pinball as a start up item.  Now I have pinball for my modern OS!  I am a happy boy.

Here is a nice screen shot for you

Image heavy blog

CAUTION – the blog you are viewing is java intensive.  It uses many images too.  If you are viewing this on an under powered machine your computer may explode!  I repeat, because you can’t go back and read it again – your computer may explode.  This blog crashed IE 6 on a school computer, it may do the same to you.  In about a month – or if you had to scroll to view this – it won’t matter because if you can scroll the blog hasn’t killed you.  Too late for those other bastards though.  I encourage you to laugh evilly at this point.

What the..

In what situation would you click this button?!  It is a button to say – no, actually I don’t like my peripherals to work properly.  WTF Microsoft – silly button, take it out for Windows Eight.
