Live Everyday Like It’s Your Last
American Beauty is a profound film that will always be with me, ever since I first watched it in 1999. If I find myself losing my way in life and the meaning of it, I only have to watch this to feel exactly what life should be….
This is the ending’s monologue. It’s absolutely tear-jerkingly brilliant:
Vista in Use – Day Two’ish
If I am honest I have had trouble writing this second part. Not because of time or computer issues, or even that near myth-worthy sentiment that Vista is unstable. To be honest this should be Vista in Use – Day Eight. The reason I think I have had trouble writing this second part is that for the most part I have been able to get on with things much as I have become accustomed to in Windows since Windows 2000 and then XP.
This may sound like code for, “It hasn’t changed much so why bother?” It isn’t. It’s more to do with being busy most of the week and to this point, Vista has not hindered me despite being a rather different beast. That is a very good thing.
So what have I noticed that is really a great improvement over Windows XP?
