Good Grief! I’m awake at 6 am!
It’s 6:08 am and I’m actually up! and yes I’ve even slept for 6 hours too.
Just wanted to say that some geeks can get up early if needed.
Ok, back to bed

Halloween: One Night Stand
Still not sure what to be for Halloween? How about being a One Night Stand?
This is such a funny costume. I was going to order one but they appear to be out-of-stock. I’ll have to get one for next year.
So what are you going to be for Halloween?
Ready for Windows Vista?
Just a few moments ago I posted about Windows Vista needing a ton of RAM and since most of my posts recently have been pretty technical and I haven’t done a funny one in a while according to my friend Jennifer, here’s a comic just for you:
Vista With 2 Gigs Of RAM
Windows new Operating System Vista set for release in January 2007 may need double the RAM that Microsoft recommends, a Dell executive said earlier this morning.
In a speech at Shanghai’s Jiaotong University, Dell chief executive Kevin Rollins told Bloomberg News:
I think they tell you maybe 1 gig [gigabyte] of memory is okay. No. Two gigs of memory would be great.
According to Microsoft’s Vista Web site, they recommend 1 GB of RAM for running the operating system’s touted Aero interface. The minimum system requirements, however, claim that 512 MB of memory will be sufficient.
We’ve heard things like this before with Windows XP. They claimed it could run on 256 MB of RAM, which technically it does but it’s so slow and choppy. I tell everyone who wants to run Windows XP to have at least 512 MB but 1 GB would be much better.
Personally I run 2 GB of RAM on my laptop and 1 GB on my desktop. Feel free to check out my detailed system specifications for more information.
According to a September 2006 report by Citigroup Inc., the average amount of memory installed on new computers is 750 MB which is a nice amount of RAM for most applications. If you do a lot of Photoshop work like I do, the more RAM you have the better.
Microsoft has said as recently as this week that Windows Vista remains on track for delivery to volume license customers next month and to the retail channel and end-users in January 2007. We shall see.
I’m sticking with Windows XP Professional for a while until all the bugs get worked out with Vista.

You have to watch the video demo of this new application. My jaw dropped when I saw what this thing can do. I can see how this will help myself and my clients.
The beta is suppose to be released this month, so hopefully we’ll see something soon as we only have a few more days left in October.
Christmas in October?
The other day I posted about the 32 Gigabyte Flash Memory USB Drive from Kanguru and how I’d love to have one but not at the $1,499.99 USD price tag.
Well I just finished catching up on my business email and came across a message from one of my distributors saying they’ll be sending me one of the Kanguru 32 GB Flash Drives free of charge for me to test and review!
Good grief!!! I get to play with a $1,500.00 toy. w00t!
But wait, there’s more… the email says after my testing and review, I get to keep the drive. There is a legal document I need to sign, etc. but so far it seems like an easy process to get this thing into my hot hands.
Of course I’ll be posting my full review of this cool technology marvel soon as possible or when my official review is published. It will depend on the contract terms. Yay contracts.
