Well the last few weeks I have been really busy with Lacrosse. Unfortunatly it has meant I have not blogged and shared my insites as much as I would have liked.
I would like to start getting this on track by recomending a todo list called rememberthemilk. It is shareable and you can even Integrate it with your Google Calendar. I am using it to help keep my life organized:)

Last week it was announced that CBS was purchasing CNET. To those outside of the techie world this does not mean a lot. To those close to the industry it can be seen why this was the prefect purchase.
Cnet need a cash infusion to expand it’s multimedia Technology Empire. CBS is a copy that has deep pockets so money will no longer be an issue.
CBS needs a way to increase it’s multimedia holding and provide better streaming for it’s core programing. In purchasing Cnet they have obtained exactly what they need. Cnet is more then strong in the Multimedia area.
As you can see a marriage made in heaven.

Personally I like Windows XP SP3. It is basically a roll-up of all the security patches since XP2. Their are enhancements for Wireless security in it as well. WPA-2 is now supported.
I have been running it all week on my home desktop, gf’s laptop and my work laptop and I have had no major issues.

Well Day 1 with Windows XP sp3 does not seem to have made any difference to the way my home PC is running. As a result I will be installing it on my laptop as well as my work desktop tomorrow. More comments to come.

The install went painless for me. It took about 30 minutes to do the install. So far everything is running fine:)

It seems Microsoft has noticed that their are issues with Windows XP SP3 and AMD chipsets. Despite these latest issues, Microsoft is not prepared to stop distribution of this important update.

For a long time I have been using a DNS server called opendns. How it works is you replace your DNS entries on your pc or router. This service works great. It has automatic spelling completion amongst other things.
