Windows XP Service Pack 2 madness

win xp sp2 finally has been released. not without its own teething problems.

WARNING: the cautious should probably wait a week or two as there seem to be quite a few problems being discovered.

i advise you read the list of "products that may behave differently". Strangely microsoft's own windows media player no longer seems to play MP3 files and isnt (currently) listed (use winamp instead it's better anyway). the list seems to be growing as yesterday there were roughly 30 listed applications and games, and today there are 200.

Programs that may behave differently in Windows XP Service Pack 2

(resolution of) Some programs seem to stop working after you install Windows XP Service Pack

one of the cooler things on the web

bored? BORED? yeah well.. give stumbleupon a try www.stumbleupon.com

just click the stumble button and 'like minded peers' will show you the light to a new/interesting page.. cool idea. specially the ability to add your mates too.


just hope they mean it when they say that whole privacy thing...

fun with javascript

some of you may know the sheer joy of trying to program in javascript. ah yes.. i hated it too. now theres Venkman. a fully fledged javascript debugger. not to mention nice and stable too

get it:
go to www.mozilla.org, and just grab the latest Mozilla release

use it:
Learning the JavaScript debugger Venkman

trust me you will never again miss IE's stupidly unspecific generic javascript errors

Ad-Aware SE released!

you may know Lavasoft's Ad-Aware.. now they have released a new version of the software!
IMHO this is one of the best products available..

Ad-Aware SE Whats New
Ad-Aware SE Download

personally i use it in conjunction with Spybot - Search & Destroy.. but it helps being pedantic with spyware.. specially if you are paying (with time, money and speed) for that ***** spyware sitting on your pc.
