Windows 7

I’m not gonna write another article (as in, loads of people have written loads of articles) on Windows 7. But I’ll link you to the keynote that introduced it. Dunno how long it’ll be up.
Get it here.

Ah… Don’t you love ‘the arts’ department…

Okay, so with this new system we have at our school all the teachers get a new notebook. For whatever reason – Education Queensland has the option to get a MacBook (it’s probably some contract they have with Apple). So of course, most of the art department got them (total of six in the school, out of eighty-something). Now, unless they install Windows XP on it – they won’t be able to get on the network (Windows Server 2003) or use any of our software (funnily enough, that means the art staff don’t get to use Photoshop). So they will install XP.

So there is absolutely no point, other than the teachers wanting a pretty brand on their computer, of getting them. Also, seeing as they cost $600 more than the Lenovo notebooks with the same hardware – the kids are missing out on that. They shouldn’t be allowed to do that.

Louis Theroux and the Nazis

I always like Louis Theroux’s documentaries.

One thing - this guy (Tom Metzger) is screwed up, really, disturbingly screwed up:

…and this guy on the left, is the crazy-nazi-dude’s agent. He reminds me of Bebe Glazer off Frasier.

This is just sick. It’s so sad to see these little girls signing about killing the “ape-like” [black people].
