XP SP3 further upates in progress. Currently, A-D services is finished.

Tuesday, April 29, 2008 @ 8:54 AM PST

XP SP3 information is in progress while the archived Service Pack 2 information is now online. I currently have verified XP Home SP3 with the other versions coming (hopefully) soon.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 @ 3:02 PM PST

I will be updating all of my service configurations for XP SP3 upon its public release. Full updates may take several weeks and I will be uploading them in stages, but rest assured, they will be completed. I thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Looks like the connections are back online early. Sweet. :)

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 @ 7:00 AM PST

Both internet connections went down at around 5:11 AM PST today. I contacted AT&T and they told me a network outage is affecting my local area. As such, the domain is and will be down until approximately 10:45 AM today. If you are reading this... connectivity is restored. :)

Windows Vista Services SP1 "A - Z" has been finished (at least this round). Dependencies still need a run through to verify all information. First thing is first. :)

Tuesday, April 1, 2008 @ 7:40 AM PST

Currently, "A - R" is done, but several other Vista services have also been updated.

Tuesday, April 1, 2008 @ 4:56 AM PST

No joke! I am working hard on Vista SP1 information to include "Additional Reading" pertaining to the particular service in question as well as a "Discussion Link" to the service on the forums. Currently, "A - H" is done, but several other services have also been updated. Stay tuned! Much more is coming!

Added a new page: WoW Mod Listing. This page is a listing of all World of Warcraft UI Modifications that I currently use.

Sunday, March 9, 2008 @ 4:17 PM PST

Lots of work ahead of me tonight. I am adding individual service discussion links, verifying all dependencies as well as expanding all services, starting with "A" tonight and tomorrow with regards to Windows Vista. Stay tuned for more!

Friday, March 7, 2008 @ 1:20 PM PST

Everything is back and online. Enjoy!

Friday, March 7, 2008 @ 7:28 AM PST

The main site, DNS, Email and forums will be coming down for about 30 minutes "sometime today" while I install additional memory and run a quick Memtest on the system.
Don't phreak out. It will be back up shortly after (if all goes as planned at least).

A moment of silence for Gary Gygax, whom passed on March 4, 2008:

Co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, he claimed many hours of my younger years as I read and was enthralled with the books drafted about D&D.

I salute thee.

Rest in Peace.

Tons of link modification and general clean up with the domain. Over 1300 pages, so it takes some time. But do not worry, more Vista SP1 updates are coming as well as the soon to be released XP SP3 information. Stay Tuned!

Tuesday, February 26, 2008 @ 6:15 AM PST

All of the old news should be online and edited to remove links that are no longer valid. Reading through it all really brought back some good memories.

Monday, February 25, 2008 @ 6:38 AM PST

After about five months of time away from World of Warcraft, I decided to fire up my subscription for one more month. Maybe I can get all of my characters to 70, now. :) The character listing now includes /played time, updated a few minutes ago, next to their name.

Total time /played = 292 days, 17 hours, 35 minutes, 9 seconds

Monday, February 25, 2008 @ 4:27 AM PST

"All" of my old news is back online. Of course, no updates were posted during 2006, but all the way back to 1999 is back. Some links will go to pages that I have long since deleted, but they should be fixed/removed in the next few hours (I hope). :)

Monday, February 25, 2008 @ 3:01 AM PST

The redesign is complete. Please contact me with any display issues you may find "after" refreshing/clearing your browser cache.

Thursday, February 21, 2008 @ 11:36 AM PST

This weekend, I plan on doing a little redesign of the site to include getting rid of the ads on the right side of the page and placing them near the top. This will help those visitors/readers with lower resolution settings view my pages easier.

The Pursuit of Perfection... Failed?

Subjective content, meaning opinion based methods of evaluation, leave quite a sour taste in my mouth.

The Rant: Pursuit of Perfection... Failed?

Monday, February 4, 2008 @ 9:42 AM PST

Updated more pages for Vista Service Pack 1. They should all be finished in the next couple of days.

Tuesday, February 2, 2008 @ 6:54 PM PST

Updated many pages throughout the domain.

Monday, January 28, 2008 @ 3:12 AM PST

Updated all Registry Patch and most Services pages for Vista SP1. Even though it took only a few seconds to type that sentence... it took many, many hours to actually do what it states. :)
