My week. (+Thoughts on Special A and Kanokon)

Well nothing much has happened this week. I have been asked by Flatcher (Another blog poster on here) if I could help him fix his brand new dell computer this week. He just got this new computer on Sunday and he has already broken it. He had probably broke it from downloading too much porn on limewire, but that’s just a guess. I really don’t understand how he keeps breaking his computer. So from now on I’m not going to help it. I have had enough.

I have started watching some new anime this week. The ones I have currently seen are Special A and Kanokon. Kanokon was ok but it isn’t the sort of anime I like. The animation quality and story was below average in my opinion as well. But I am sure many people will enjoy it, but I probably won’t continue watching it.

Special A was the one I have been looking forward to see this season. Special A is about a group of high schoolers who are the most successful out of all the students at their school. The focus of the story is on Hikari Hanazono (The girl who is ranked number 2 in the school) and how she continually challenges the boy who’s ranked number one in the school. The first episode was ok, probably not what I was expecting but it was quite entertaining and I will probably continue watching it.

Not much else happened this week. I went to the dentist for my 6 months check up. Luckily I have very good teeth so I have never needed a filling or anything like that, so I wasn’t nervous about going or anything. My teeth were “absolutely fine” according to the dentist, and all I need to do now is get an appointment for the dentist in another 6 months.

Well I think I will end the post here. I’ll add some Special A pictures at the bottom of the page.

First Hand Experience : Vista

Despite hearing many times about how bad Vista is, I have decided to get a whole new computer with Vista Business installed on it. So far I’ve only used it for 3 days and theres nothing bad about it. If you are planning to use more than 3 gigabytes of RAM then I suggest 64-bit. Why do you ask? Because I currently have 32-Bit edition with 4gbs of RAM but it only registers as 3.25. As for specs, I suggest turning UAC (User Account Controls) off. Everytime you need to install or run something it pops up asking you to allow it. One thing that Vista uses to lure people in is its stylish design. Personally, I like the OS and design. Many people I know say Vista is a resource hog and and slows everything down but, so far, I haven’t experienced anything going slower than usual. If you were to buy a new computer then I would suggest Vista and not XP. By choosing Vista you can get the maximum out of your gaming by using DirectX 10. Currently I have a 8800 GTS which can run DX10 but I can’t use it because it won’t fit into my Dell case. You need a better computer then a Dell to fit a 8800 because its pretty meaty. It barely fits inside but it takes up 2 slots and bumps into my fan so I bought it for nothing. It’s going to go into my closet for now.

As for first hand experience it was pretty amazing for me. The Windows Update automatically found all of my needed drivers for wireless, graphics, and sound. Although you might think that this feature is good it might miss some unknown hardware that Windows might not know. So, in about an hour, my computer was already set up and ready to use.
