Remote Posting

This is a test of FlatPress’s new plug-in for XML-RPC. Basically what that means is, is that I can open up a program like Windows Live Writer, write a post, like this one, and then post it on the site. Without even having to log in to it.

iPod Shuffle and iTunes Review

Anyway before I start the review, my sister got her new iPod Shuffle on Friday, and well it was smaller than we imagined.

Review time:
iPod Shuffle, (Second generation):

The great strorage amount makes up for the light weight,small size and concealment of it.

Even though the first generation iPod shuffle was easy to lose, the second generaton is easier to lose with its small size.

Still its neat

Score: 9.5 / 10
—————————–
iTunes 7.0.2:

Not much in UI change, actually, none at all.

The easy to use interface was made easier in version 7. But iPod 2nd generation support was recently added to 7.0.2.

Still a nice UI and much simpleer

Score 9.99 /10

Visual Studio 2005 Review, (Moved from Old Blog)

Visual Studio 2005 is ok for Professional Developers plus it is good for programers who program n multiple languages.

Even though Micorosft Offers Visual Studio Express for free, you have to download the languages for it seperatly, but then they dont intergrate with each other.

Even though it takes over 2 GBs of Space it is very usefull.

Over all i give this app 9.9/10

WinFLP Review, (Moved from Old Blog)

I know, people might have waited a while for this review, but after 2 unsuccessful install discs I found one that works and now I’m ready to give it a review about it.

Like I said earlier, I had two bad ISO’s for WinFLP. But eventually, I found a good ISO. During install it was like, a Vista install, with the WIM image, and the GUI install all the way through. But it was Had the XP Install background with the orbs, but the background was different, and the install told you what it was doing.

Then after setup, it had to go into the first boot agent, which with it it rebooted 4 times.

Then after the first boot agent was done it rebooted the last time, then brought me the login screen, (for those with FLP, the username is Administrator, the password is the one you set in setup).
After I logged in, the desktop was in 1024×768x16×60, (1024×768 at 16 bit color with 60 refresh rates), which the color sucked, so I increased it to 1280×1024x32×60, (1280×1024 at 32 bit color, with 60 refresh rates). After I increased the screen resolution, the icons changed to the XP Standard.

Some of the Pre-installed software are Windows Messenger 4.7 and Windows Media Player 10.

After a few days, I upgraded to IE7 RC1 and its working right now, iTunes, and QuickTime works as well, but in iTunes, when your ripping a cd to the library, it goes at 0.1x speed, instead of at least 2.0x or 2.5x. Symantec Client Security is working like a charm as my firewall and Symantec Anti-virus for anti-virus, they’re both working good. Yesterday, I installed Microsoft Pinball for XP, and it works perfectly. So I wondered if the Windows Vista Sidebar 5342 would work in FLP, so I tried it and its working awesomely. So after I installed some other software, I decided to install the Media Center Royale, style and its still working like a charm.

Some of the downsides of WinFLP are, the lack of games, (I know, its a business OS and Games aren’t usually needed), and the lack of desktop wallpapers, but the wallpapers problem was easily fixed.

Over all I give WinFLP a a 9 out of 10.

SP3 Review, (Moved from Old Blog)

Ok, after a cpuple of hours of installing I got it installed. Thats right XP SP3 Preview Pack from TheHotfix.net, version 1.20 works on Windows FLP.

I started at 4 pm on suday, and it was done extrating at 8:00 pm, weird oh well. But after I agreed to the EULA of it, it took only 2 hrs to install then, after the install, it rebooted, and well, my computer is now going faster cause of that.
