Feels like going back to Windows XP

A bit more than a year passed since Vista installed. Actually this is the first time I have survived more than a year without formatting. However there are some annoying problems.

1. The shortcuts in the start menu for Office applications do not work. When you click on them nothing happens.
2. If you reboot the PC you have to rebooted several times again and perhaps also reboot the router, just to get the internet working again. Otherwise you will have timeouts.
3. Whenever problem 2 happens the songs played pause every 20 or 30 seconds fcuking up the listening experience.
4. Whenever problem 3 happens the mouse freezes for about half a second fcuking up the mouse movement.
5. Mozilla Firefox installers have fcuked up the hyperlink clicking in Office Outlook emails. If you click on a hyperlink in an email you get the error: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.

6. CD Bank Cataloguer has stopped working!

Once I go back to Windows XP I will have

1. Windows Movie Maker 2.1

2. Dual recording TV Shows

 

Do I deserve to go back to Windows XP?

Tagging Classic Music albums with Mp3tag for iTunes and Last.fm

I realized a lot of people having trouble with tagging Classic music. Initially, I got into Classical music to take up this challenge but now I am hooked into it because of its nice sophisticated melodies. There has to be a very straight forward way of tagging music. The ID3v2 specification provides us frames for the following tags that can be used to organize classical music:   Artist AlbumArtist Conductor OriginalArtist Composer Album Name   My goal is to devise a plan to fit all of these tags into Classical music appropriately, so that the Classic music composers will appear in Last.fm statistics music will be organized and displayed well in iTunes   The primary focus is given to how the music is organized. This means tagging conventions for track names is not one of the primary concerns in this article. First we familiarise ourselves with the ID3v2 frames for the tags above.   TPE1 The 'Lead artist/Lead performer/S

Having to remove shoes before you enter someone’s house

I have to put this in writing before I forget it over the time. While at work, I got a call from a friend of mine to help him connect to his new ISP. I drove after work to his house and as I approached the main door, I noticed all the shoes being removed and placed at a side. Conscience told me I had to remove the shoes I am wearing. The steel toe shoes I was wearing were strictly indoor and only had house-dirt if you call it that way. I drive to work and I have separate boots to wear during site visits. The shoes came up to my ankle so it took some time for me remove both and finally enter the house. The guy was just waiting at the main door like it was part of normal activity, but *not* for me it was! After I set up the new router it came to the point where I needed the new ISP username and password. Without a surprise he had no idea about it and he said that we will have to go to his cousin’s house to check his email and get the login details from the ISP’s email. I got out of the
