Flowcode 4

Flowcode 4 has finally been released. (Good job because I here they had formed an escape commitee)

Got the trial version installed, and I'm very impressed.

More Ferodra 11

Finished downloading the ISO image last night. All 3.4 G-bytes of it :)

I'm now burning the installation DVD.

Once thats done, I can try installing it on the main PC.

Raining

Its starting to rain again, where's this summer weather we are supposed to be having this year?

Fedora 11

Currently downloading the new Fedora 11.
Thats one of the many different types of Linux operating system.

The dvd iso is 3.4 GB so quite a big download.

Prefer Fedora (Used to be known as Red Hat in the past) to others.
The Ubuntu is currently on the drive, where it will be installed.

Best thing about Linux is it's free.

That will be installed on one of the removable drive caddys on the main PC.
(Windows 7 is staying on the laptop)

Ubuntu 9.04

This post is from my Ubuntu Linux System

More Windows 7

Im really getting to like Windows 7.

It runs quick, no real problems. All main applications work. Just installed the webcam.

(It is a microsoft one so updated drivers on their site :) ).

Found google chrome as a browser really flies, much faster than IE8.

Memory Transplant

Decided the laptop could do with more memory.
It can support up to 4 gig (had 1 gig), but 32 bit windows can recognise 3gig.
Ordered it from crucial, got the exact spec and a matched pair as well by using the details on their website. Laptops are muh more piccy in memory than home build desktops.

Took out the 2x512meg modules and fitted 2 x 2gig modules.

Not as easy as updating normal pc memory, getting the covers off under the bottom is a bit fiddly, but the operation worked.

Certainly runs faster but it will show more with memory hungry apps.

I now have a pair of Samsung 512meg SODIMMS without a home :(
