I (finally) got this wonderful second monitor to my work machine. It’s a near-HD widescreen Dell thingy and it makes working with multiple windows so much nicer.
But of course, things ain’t better and they could be perfect. The thing is that Windows XP don’t scale. In this case, it don’t (or doesn’t) scale the stuff on [...]

I ran into two usability problems today. The other one midly funny, the other outrageous. But not in the funy way.
I more or less depend on Firefox’s ability to automatically restore my tabs and windows between surfing sessions. I have a bunch of fun stuff open in a multitude of windows — i keep work [...]

On my work computer (the one with Windows :)), i usually play my music using iTunes or Winamp (due to their scrobbling capabilities) and as a test, i installed Jajuk (because of its network qualities, and because i’m a geek). Everythings been nice and fine. 
The other day, i stumbled across SF-Anytime, an online movie rental site supposedly [...]

I found a better screen shot tool today, Window Clippings.
WC (hardy-har-har) is a bit like the screen shot tool that comes with One Note 2007, i.e. when you want a screen shot taken, you crop from your whole screen what you want shot, so to say. Which is handy when working with One Note (WC [...]

Avinstallera NVidia-drivers.  Boota om Windows.  Installera om NVidia-drivers.  Boota om Windows.  Bejubla de återhämtade pixlarnas glans.  Be till St. Anthony att pixeltomten inte ska komma tillbaka. Använda Windows m-y-c-k-e-t försiktigt och med silkeshandskar. Hoppas att Vista är bättre.

Vi har en hel del tomtar på jobbet, men inte bara i juletider utan året om.  Tomtarna är i regel ena skojare och brukar tycka om att flytta på saker. En av de vanliga tomtarna är installations-CD-tomten som nu senast har burit iväg med Visual Studio 2003-skivan.  Ofta far oxå MS Office-skivan på tomtens väg.
Mitt [...]

What started as a whine about the horrendous amount of “bye-bye” options in Windows Vista has turned into a rather interesting tour of software project management.  Joel Spolsky today (well, yesterday) published an entry about the Windows Vista development process (if that’s what you can call it), based on input from a real live and actual [...]

Joel Spolsky has an excellent deduction of user interface complexity on line.  Windows Vista (and XP, and most Linuxen) have a myriad ways of logging off, shutting down or just getting the heck out of the session. The Vista equivalent of the Start menu has buttons to lock the session and to shut down the [...]

Fish will perform live in Portugal and on the web in about 48 hours from now.
Showtime is at approximately/probably/possibly/maybe at 21h GMT, but i suggest you check the link above in good time. The webcast will be in Microsoft WindowsMedia format, so majority OS only, i’m afraid. Or a good codec. Anybody streamripping? [...]

If you’re bored with the Windows “crayon” (sorry, Luna) theme, you could always check out the Royale Noir theme — while waiting for a similar one to appear with Vista.
According to legend (”I read it on the Internet, so it must be true”), the theme originates from Microsoft but was never released to the public. [...]
