Well, I guess everyone – and their grandmother is currently playing around with Windows 7 in one or another. And I guess that’s something I should be doing as well.

OK OK, I want to be doing it as well

However, as you might have derrived from the title of this post, I am installing it using boot camp  on my MacBook (and no, it is not the Pro version!)  I guess it’s a good testground for me to play around and see if I like Windows 7.

Shame / joy however is, that my main desktop will not be running Windows 7. Ever. 2 GB of RAM just is not going to cut it

Anyway, I’ll continue to post updates as they progress for those of you whom are interested in it.

Wish me luck!

Update: Just had to format the bootcamp partition. Let’s hope that is what is supposed to happen

Well I finally upgraded my site, and have finally moved over (almost completely) to my MacBook. Yes you heard it right. I am on a Mac…

I have noticed that a lot of people are saying that Vista is not as user-friendly as it can be at times, which I admit could and can be improved. Using a little time we might fix that.

However with the right tools and settings it can really become a lot better and user-friendly.

A while ago I got a link that brought me to TeraCopy, and since I installed it… I am loving it.

It’s a simple program, and just works.

Now you might wonder why I install a program solely for copying and moving. Well I recently had to move a lot of data, and that’s where TeraCopy paid off (pun intended as the program has a free version available…) Since the computer is in my bedroom, and makes some noise – which I don’t like when I am sleeping – I shut it off when I go to bed.

Now this copy-action would take several hours, and well – that would be a bit too much as I was going to bed in less then 2. TeraCopy just started copying away, and when I turned the computer on – and told TeraCopy the next day to copy the stuff over again – it figured out what it had to do

The joy!

Some claim it’s faster then Windows in regards to copying/moving, but I have yet to see any speed improvement. I will admit thought that it has a much smarter file-distinguishing-algorithm then Windows.

Try it… You might like it. If not, well – it’s free so no money lost. Just time.

Now, which program do you use? Windows Explorer? FreeCommander? Sound off in the comments

I am keeping this post short as I am working on the backend (upgrading things, yes again )

But if you ever run into this just like me, simply plug the USB-cable of your iPod directly into your computer, and not in an extension cable.

Ding – hardware connected
Dong – hardware disconnected
Ding – hardware connected
Dong – hardware disconnected

and so on. Itunes going crazy of course… as was Last.FM. I did the above… and now it works.

Darnit!
