Relapse five!

I have to agree, this is still my favourite of all Barney’s high fives!

Classic Cars – Highnam Court May 2011

It wasn’t all just belly dancers, here’s the pics I took of the classic cars at the spring fair too! 🙂

Bhakti Tribal Belly Dance – Highnam Court 07-05-2011

Had a great time at Highnam Court Spring fair. I managed to shoot a few photos of these belly dancers (I missed most of their dancing so I had to shoot the pictures very quickly). Just a shame I got so few, they were very challenging to capture as they were constantly in motion! 🙂

Acer Aspire 5552 – First impression

I just took delivery of an Acer Aspire 5552 and I have to admit, although it feels a tiny bit cheap, its just as good as the one I have for work! Lighter too.

I’ll keep playing with this ting and let you know how it goes…. More soon.

Windows 7 Junctions

I’ve been recently working on trying to update some of our older install scripts to work with Windows 7 and I’ve been giggling at the new setup for the all users profile (as was). Back in the good or bad old days you had C:\Documents and Settings\All Users to sling all the various shortcuts and so on that you wanted to be visible to all users. Now its all change!

As detailed in this rosetta stone of a page on Jimmah.com, the folders that we used to use are now all over the shop (yet strangely more logical in their approach, weird!). Now for example, if you’re throwing things into everyone’s Start menu, it goes in C:\ProgamData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu instead. I’m sure we’ll all get the hang of it, it’ll just take a little while.

Old timers like me still remember seeing the Start button and behaving like cave men seeing fire! 😀
