Lost Time Travel Theory

I discovered this recently on the UCC Forum.
Its an amazing theory that must have taken a load of research and time to put together. What i like most is that he references the series throughout and manages to explain even the most bizarre elements including the Polar Bear and The Black Smoke!
It takes a while to read through so take your time.

Vista Service Pack 1

Finally, he update i wanted was eventually released on Windows Update. I downloaded it last weekend and to be honest at first i didn't notice any change. i was gutted. then i stopped looking and started to notice one or two things.

Firstly my major problem with Vista is that it is too heavy on the RAM. I mean atleast 65-70% of RAM goes into just keeping the laptop idle. Since updating though i have found that its now gone down as far as 50%. i've never seen 50% ever on it! Also the demands on the processor have significantly lessened.

Secondly, the power consumption seems to have slowed, i can now get a good hour with a few internet windows open and be playing games, or uploading photos. This is a major bonus especially in college.

A new feature with the update is the ability to selec which drive to fragment. previously this was not possible and it was a case of all or nothing. Its a nice touch.

At the end of January I wrote a blog about what should be in Vistas new update. Apart from the Gadget clean up, which has nothing to do with Vista, everything i could hope for was provided. Even checking for updates now takes place more regularly.

Reflections on a crazy week.

This has been the busiest, most stressful week i've put down in a while.
It began last monday with collecting money for science ball. It was a lot of hassle to be honest. i just ended up running round like a headless chicken ringing and redialing people.
Then on wednesday i come to college to hear that all the tickets were sold out.
I had booked tickets but i was still worried in case someone had sold them so then spent the rest of the week terrified about what to do if there was none there. But alls well!

Feelings On Vista and other such important matters

I got a Vista laptop. Its an E-Systems laptop. And don't worry if you've never heard of it before, neither had I.
It has 1 GB Ram which means doing to much to quickly will hurt it. But whatever way Vista is set up to work with hardware whenever i put it under pressure to perform it speeds up a huge amount. I had read that ReadyBoost, the new feature on Vista that can use a memory stick as a Flash Cache, only works best under pressure and perhaps its the same for the core.

Visually vista looks amazing. the Aero effect is quite spectacular. I still have an XP computer at home but it just looks so dull, so lifeless. In terms of visuals only Leopard can come close.

I find that the Sidebar is quite useful only for keeping an eye on my connection and Core. otherwise its a bit shit. there isn't enough yet for it.

SP1 is due out in a few months and hopefully it will fix a few problems with Vista, Perhaps:
Lower demand on Processer.
Lower demand on RAM
Lower demand on Battery time. On the lowest power setting the laptop still won't do an hour and a half.
A Clean up of the Gadgets available that simply don't work or crash the Computer.
A way to set up auto checks for updates. Without it i find 24/36 hours goes by without it checking for an update and since Vista is so finicky still any update is brilliant for it.

If Santy can't help me with this, I'll try Jim!
