Nvidia drivers.

I am not a fan of the Nvidia display driver installer's old-ish look: it covers up the screen with a faux-maximized window and prints the software's name in big bold-italic Times New Roman. It always installs quickly, though, and much more so when I upgraded my card's driver from version 185.85—to my pleasant surprise (and as Microsoft has promised Vista would allow for years), installing 186.18 didn't restart the rig, as a few others have noticed.

Well, sort of. It does restart Windows Explorer, at least, and that nukes taskbar icons of programs that don't know better. A simple logoff and logon (relogon?) fixes that in a flash, and lets me finally enjoy Vista's "no-reboot" boast.

Touch-screen feedback.

Or to quote templest, “Finally! I can feel what it's like to touch boobies without having to steal mannequins from Sears!”

I am still here.

No, I'm not dead, though my sense of sarcasm is at an all-time low.

As loqqq posted on digg, TrueCrypt was updated today to version 4.2. Making an encrypted volume on your drive with it can help keep your sensitive files secure--and who doesn't like more security?

See you at the impending draft!

Automagic transmission.

The main page posts are now auto-generated. Expect a bit more posting. The feed is still mostly manually typed.The RSS feed is now automagic too.

Aren't faulty translations great? Of course, if you're really a English-loving bigot, there's Engrish.com.

I notice some more Windows updates are coming.Nevermind, but I was half-right; Windows Defender updates using the same taskbar-icon updater.

Online job application.

I hope this Web application* and similar things replace paper. I think it's faster and easier on the expense report for companies to comb through computer files for new employees, than to rummage through piles of paper that can get unstapled, crumpled, or lost in delivery truck accidents.
