Living Room / Animated Map of Girl's Names Throughout the Years

« on: October 26, 2013, 06:57 PM »

This post is an experiment. It's an interesting animated gif, but it's 1.06MB in size and I have been burned recently by uploading a big file. So I am testing it out here. If it crashes this thread, nothing much will be lost. A partial sucess, you can download it and view it in your computer, just not here. I guess you can have 8MB of pictures in a post, just not in any one picture.

I think there's been a lot of talk about being an introvert on the 'net recently. There was the Kayne West interview....

 ...and this article.

Living Room / Any one else have a bad Window update?

« on: June 02, 2013, 10:14 PM »

My Windows update today with 17 items on my XP machine went okay until after it rebooted. The cursor moved(but didn't curse) and clicking on anything did nothing. I tried control-alt-delete and clicking on the taskbar to get the task manager and clicking on the start menu icon to reboot. Nothing worked. I had to use the power button to reboot twice with no better results. I booted to Safe Mode to run System Restore to get it working again. Any other XP users here?
