A New Dimension
Anyone who has read my blog in the past knows that last July, CUBE went down for several weeks due to me losing my laptop’s functionality. The screen on the device was totalled, and I had no immediate solution. I had to wait two and a half months to get a replacement.

The Sims 2 Revisited
Back when CUBE first opened in 2004, I was full of anticipation for The Sims 2. The new game had me excited for over a year before it came out, and when it finally came out, it was seriously one of the best things in existance–it won the very first ever Best Videogame award at [...]

The Joy of Web 2.0
You know…over the past couple of years, the new “face” of the internet has been incredibly intriguing. It all started with the invention of the blog, in my opinion, and since, it has grown into a worldwide phenomenon of everything. Everything that makes up Web 2.0 is essentially how That One Blog came about, and [...]

The next-gen Browser war has been intense…Firefox vs. IE once again. This time, the clear cut winner isn’t Mozilla, in my opinion. After spending the past couple of days with Microsoft’s new Internet Explorer 7, I’ve decided to revert back to using the program completely once again, and here’s why.
It all involves speed. Lately, Firefox [...]

I Hate Computers.
You know…I’ve been really excited about Windows Vista and using it since I started using the RC1…then some problems came about, and it really made things complicated. So, when RC2 came out last week, I thought I would just go ahead and download it. And with RC2 came a new set of problems, almost immediately–for [...]

A New Era Has Begun!
Wow…two and a half years of waiting finally ends, and I’m FINALLY using Windows Vista. Last night, after a major computer crash caused by PCLinuxOS, I finally got things running smoothly with my Windows Vista installation, and so far: It’s great.

But, now the good news–hopefully before the end of tonight, I will be running [...]

There…That’s Better.
Earlier today, I posted about how I was having troubles getting PCLinuxOS installed onto my computer. Now, a couple hours later, I’m just wrapping up with the installation, and wow…it looks amazing. Even better than it did before.

PCLinuxOS: My First Run
Today I had my first “true” run with PCLinuxOS on my new computer, and I’m just a little bit disappointed–I’m having a hard time configuring my settings so that I can install the operating system on my computer. But we’ll get to that later. For now, the good stuff:
First of all, graphically, it looks very [...]
