Microsoft released a number of new beta copies of their OS and application software yesterday. Naturally I downloaded the latest beta of Vista. There are also new beta versions of their next generation server OS and Office 2007. I’m continuing to update my Vista test log as I play around with the new OS.
Cats and Computers
One of my colleages sent me this link and I couldn’t resist posting it. (It’s just so cute..) While my cat does try to step on my laptop, it’s more about getting attention than looking for warmth. One of my friends used to have a couple of cats that enjoyed soaking up the warmth of his CRT monitors. Cats are so much fun!
LOST – Theories and Conjecture
Ok I admit it, I’m really getting hooked on this show. Tonight’s 2hr season finale was especially good. A lot of things were revealed, but as usual, with each new revelation comes at least as many new questions. For example, the “hatch” was shown to have a “real” purpose which also explains the magnetic wall and the plane crash. However, if it’s real, why did the tape at the “pearl” describe it as a psychological experiment? I’m also intrigued by the revelation, at the end, of Penny’s involvement, or at a minimum knowledge to some degree of the magnetic disturbances of the hatch. This is something that occurred to me after the show:
“The Others” may be a group opposed to the Dharma Initiative and may have attacked them at some point in the past. (seeing the ID of the man Sayeed found buried at the balloon site might help here..) I’ve also considered the possibility that they may be the last remaining members of the original team.
There’s nothing like a good mystery…
