Windows XP

I have had to reinstall windows several times in the last six months and it is beginning to drive me insane. I loose all of my data and then hours of my time updating windows to its current version. Well I hope your having at least a little more success with Windows and enjoy it while i struggle with it. Please note that my YouTube channel will not be updated until next week, as i have lost all of my pre-recorded videos. I have now got Camtasia, which should make my videos better.

Boston Bruins

I don't know how any of you feel about sports, but I love them! My favorite sport is hockey, which I play. I also like baseball and my favorite team is the Boston Red Sox. (World Chapions Again!!) My favorite hockey team is the Boston Bruins and they're not doing that bad, even though their "star" defenceman and captain, Zdeno Chara, sucks. Leave a comment about your favorite sports team or try out the poll that will be uploaded soon!

New Theme

I know its not a new month, but the holiday season officially starts today. Every 3 days there will be a new music track so keep checking!

The audio controls are above the blog archives if you want to turn the sound off...look for the little Quicktime bar.

Firefox 3

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today, I downloaded the Beta release of Firefox 3. Its AWESOME. Better than Firefox 2 by leaps and bounds. Its incredibly stable for a beta release and I am yet to find any bugs. Unfortunately, not many of the add-ons work, only two did in my update. Firefox 3B1 does not overwrite Firefox 2 so you could run them side by side. Firefox 3 is FAST all around. It loads web pages and launches faster than IE or Firefox 2. Heres a email I sent to one of my friends earlier today:

Anti-virus Software

What anti-virus should I use? I personally use AVG. AVG is a free program that scans emails,files, and overall protects your computer. It updates at least twice a week so it is always up to date. There are other versions of the AVG software that you need to pay for, but they do not add much to the program. Most people use Norton. DO NOT USE NORTON! Norton just slows down the computer and takes up hard disk space.

Firewalls

There are several free firewall programs out there some are good and some just suck (like norton. I use Comodo Firewall Pro. Its free and professional quality as the name implies. The first times you launch a program with Comodo installed it asks you Allow or Deny connection to the internet? I found this annoying at first, but now it is not a big deal as it doesn't pop up as much.
