March 08 Google Earth Error?March 01 Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Coming Soon!!Windows Vista SP1 is due for release to the general public for Mid-March of 2008. I've heard of specific dates like March 15 or 17, I'll go with Mid-March. I got to beta test the Beta 2 Refresh 2 version (The version right before the final release). Then they told me that the Beta 2 Refresh 2 version has the same codes as the RTM (Ready-to-manufacture, or final release). So, basically, I got the RTM version installed on a Virtual PC. Not much graphical improvement, just performance and security updates. February 29 Getting Closer to Level 3 on Windows Live QnAI'm getting closer to Level 3 (That's 1000 points) on QnA. Right now, I have 870. Each "Best Answer" is 25 points, each answer is 5 points. February 28 Kurt-051's braveryI recently read about one of the other SPARTANS in Halo books. His name was Kurt-051 (Like Master Chief's John-117). He stay behind and detonated two FENRIS thermonuclear warheads to help his team escape and stop the Covenant from going after the rest of his team. Here was his last words with him and the Elite Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree. He did a great honor by sacrificing himself for his team. "One last fight, demon. You will die and we shall reopen the silver path."

Music ReadyThe new batch of music on WMP is ready. 31 Total. Notice I moved around some things. Halo 2 Outskirts Alternative EndingI saw this awesome video of an alternative ending on YouTube of Halo 2's second level (Outskirts) and third level (Metropolis). Bungie made this video. They should used this level instead of the actual level, it would look much cooler. Look at the ending.
First Post with Windows Live WriterThis is the first post I'm doing with Windows Live Writer. I can post blogs offline, that's pretty cool. Later I can inserts maps, videos, pictures, etc. Very cool. February 24 New wallpapers and monthly screenshotI added new wallpapers for Gears of War 2, coming November 2008. Also, I've decided on a new "habit" I'll take start taking monthly screenshots of my computer. No preparation, just a screenshot. Windows Media PlayerI'm taking Windows Media Player off the site for a day or two. I'm going to add a new batch of music. Specifically, both CD from Halo 3 Original Soundtrack. I don't like some of the songs, but someone else might. Also, I'll put the module somewhere ontop, so it's more direct and easier to see. February 23 5GB Windows Live SkydriveWindows Live SkyDrive has gotten a makeover. It's capacity has been increased to 5 Gigabyte. Wow. I was on my Skydrive when I noticed that there was 5GB. I was thinking "Am I the only one?". Lol. Another thing, It's Windows Live Skydrive, not Windows Live Skydrive Beta. I'm thinking it's the final version. February 21 Stop Graffiti!Here's one of the pictures I made for a project. If you can't see the embedded one, go here: http://cid-4e316f373d02416b.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Stop%20stencil.jpg OR http://boxstr.com/thumbs/small/1099665_rvvoe/Stop%20stencil.jpg
Fixed?I think the trouble with the banner and the clock is fixed? Maybe... February 18 Website troubleRight now, I'm attempt to fix two HTML modules on this Space: the title and the time. Bear with me.
I received notice that the website that is hosting my title banner (BoxSTR) has some failed servers. I'm going to use Windows Live Skydrive instead.
But as of the clock module problem, I have no idea on the solution. February 12 Vista SP1 RTMNot keeping up this blog.
This is the straight story about Windows Vista RTM (Ready-to-manufacture). Recently, Microsoft gave beta testers throught Microsoft Connect to test out Windows Vista SP1 Beta Refresh 2. They later told us that the Refresh 2 version's code was same as the RTM version's code. So therefore Refresh 2=RTM. The only difference are the build numbers.
SP1 Beta Refresh 2 Version code= 6001.18000.080118-1840
SP1 RTM Version code= 6001.18000.080126-2040
I got my hands on a Beta Refresh 2 Version code. I could test what was in the RTM build. There wasn't any graphical update (No secret boot screen, etc). What I could notice was that the copy/cut times are a bit faster. Heres the full list of updates included in SP1 from Microsoft: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/pages/windows-vista-service-pack-1-beta-whitepaper.aspx.
The RTM version comes out somewhere in mid-March, 2008. There's been some debate on the exact date, so I'm not going to put up a exact date, but I'm sure it'll be released in March.
If you are a Microsoft Connect Beta Tester and you got the ability to download the Beta Refresh, do so. If you feel unsafe, install it on a Virtual PC.
For those interested, here are the MD5 hashes for the SP1 Beta Refresh 2 AND RTM version:
February 04 BoredBORED
I figure out that my Windows Media Player on this Space does not work with FireFox. If you use FF, tough luck. I suggest you change to Internet Explorer 7.
February 01 TitleWell, what do you think? I spend some time working on that and got it published. Took some time. Music & CountersFinally I manage to add some music. Lol. It was fully painstaking. Thanks to D3v from HackMSNSpaces (Visit him at http://d3vmax.spaces.live.com/). I learned how to add multiple sounds/movies on Windows Media Player. The two counters on the left are for different purposes. The top one is a basic hit counter, the amount of people that visited the site. The second one is the amount of visitors online. Now onto that banner... January 30 Counter and MusicI added a visitor counter on the left side. It just records the hits to the website, no unique visitor or anything special. I was in the process of adding some music to this site but lol, I had some difficulty. I got an invalid character error. The music will be up tommorow or the day after tommorow. |
