Submission + - Free Windows XP to Vista Transformation Pack!

xt writes: If you think Vista is just a visually glorified version of XP, not worthy of your money, rejoice; using the free Vista Transformation Pack, you can transform your Windows user interface to ultimate Windows Vista! The project has no ties with Microsoft. It's a clever hack, replacing various resources and files to achieve the Vista look. Details and downloads at the project's forum and various other sites!

Submission + - typo takes tourist 13,000 km off-course

jfeldredge writes: A 21-year-old German tourist, who intended to visit his girlfriend in Sydney, Australia, instead ended up close to Sidney, Montana, USA, 13,000 km away (over 8000 miles) after mistyping his destination in a flight-booking web site. He was routed through Portland, Oregon to Billings, Montana, and realized his error when he was about to board a commuter flight to Sidney, Montana. He ended up having to stay in the Billings, Montana airport for three days until his family and friends sent him 600 Euros to buy a new ticket to Australia. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/12/29/germany .tourist.reut/

choices, choices, so many choices. all apealling, most of them likely to blow up in my face. i really guess i have to pick one, and pick the peices out of me if it goes off.

In other news i had two great days with my friend marybeth. we say a movie (free with gift certs :) and skied the next day.

Today i installed fog lights in my car. it went well, but we had issues finding a hole to run the wire through, and one of the connectors was miss wired.

micro management sucks. The best way to manage is to let people do their thing and to let them do it their way, as long as everything gets done.

im not happy. i used to look forward to going, but now i nearly dread each day, wishing it wouldnt come. i have been repurposed into something i dont like. i have no benifits, no hope for advancement, my only chance is escape.

hmmm blogs facinate me. You think you know someone, and then you read their blog. They seem much more eloquint in text then they do in life. i would imagine i sound less inteligent in text, given my lack of capitalization and horendus spelling.

I'm interested in this girl.. ive known her for years, allways had a thing for her. Shes a cutie, and has a great personality, today i casually approched her. next step Coffee.
