Working still

Posted by Matt Fowler in Uncategorized on March 29, 2008

Hello Readers!

I’m still working on the site, obviously. You’d be surprised how much stuff you actually have to work on when you go from having a HTML constructed site to a WordPress site. There is a lot of getting used too. But, I can honestly say – I Love It! WordPress is so much more powerful than I used to give it credit. I have a Leopard theme on here now, mocking Mac OS X 10.5 — but… It doesn’t like widgets on my sidebar. SO, it may have to go.

Mainly because a lot of my WordPress plug-ins I have activated need this so called “widget feature”. And yes, I know you can activate them manually with a few PHP tweaks, but why do that when I can just find a theme to do it for me?

To the internet!

Fowler Takes on Vista

Posted by Matt Fowler in Everything on June 3, 2007


Well, I finally put Vista Ultimate on one of my computers, and I have to say (for the most part) I do like it.

It's just like everyone said, XP with a New Skin. But there are some interesting features that make you go "Hey! That's cool!"

I'm working on a full review of Vista, that I don't know when I plan on releasing, but so far this is what I have come up with in a nutshell:

The Good->

  • Vista seems to run really nice and secure, and the Windows Defender actually works
  • Lots of new programs -> Windows DVD Maker, Windows Meeting Place, BitLocker, etc!
  • New Skin, Aero, very nice!
  • Windows Sidebar actually is very useful
  • Pretty to the eye – Lots of Candy for your pleasure!
  • Networking functionality is absolutely awesome

The Bad->

  • Windows Internet Explorer runs dominant, you cannot change Firefox to default (or at least I haven't figured out how yet)
  • No different commands…XP Version 2? (This can also kinda-sorta be a good thing)
  • Too many Mac OS X copied features…
  • OneCare…sucks….end of story
  • Sound Cards….What? (I'll explain later)
  • Vista…dumb name

Although I could go on and on with The Good and The Bad of Windows Vista, I decided to keep them even..
