| _______________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 11:24pm - the_reverend ""] the image quality of my photos is going to go up once I get this done. I'm coding over an issue with the old image library I wrote. can't wait to get it done. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 11:48pm - the_reverend ""] of course... first try of winxp and the key didn't match. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2006 12:25am - the_reverend ""] well, i guess I don't get to install windows. damn. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 15,2006 9:11am - the_reverend ""] finally got a working version! |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2006 10:48am - the_reverend ""] awesome! I was running at 166MB of RAM used after the re-install. then I installed googledesktop and it went to 196MB. I'm also switching from outlook express to thunderbird. going to test that thing out. it's importing 6GB of old emails to thunderbird right now. if I like thunderbird (since it has spam blocking built in), I might turn off 99% of the norton crap and |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2006 11:02am - the_reverend ""] hm.. maybe I won't be using thunderbird.. it's importing my mail from OE to itself.. but 6GB of mail in OE is 25GB thusfar in thunderbird! |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2006 12:00pm - the_reverend ""] I let it get to 45GB and then killed it. fixed an issue with a single file and now I've got it working again. windows is also installing 64 patches! |
