This is impressive, beyond belief.
I looked at my 250 (read: 220)GB Hard Drive today, and I realised.. I’ve got 16GB left?! So I have a think, what the hell at up 70GB in a day… Virtual Machines.
So, I go to delete the ones I’ve finished messing around in when an idea pops to my head - compress them, put them on DVD. Easier than reinstalling them 
I compressed Ubuntu down from 5GB using 7-Zip, using the “Ultra” setting. Took a good hour to compress, but I wont be using it anytime soon! And then I looked at the end compression size…
ONE.
GIGABYTE.
Impressive stuff. So now I’m doing it to my 18GB XP VM… wish me luck Estimate ~4/5GB
Still. I’m awesomely impressed. I’m definately going to start Archiving with this.. could get my entire Music and Video library down to under 10 DVDs 
Okay, I’ve been really loving this week. I got my MSDN card working, and I’ve been downloading like a mother! Been playing with Vista in a VM, doing things I usually wouldn’t because I’d break something 
So, Number 1 on the list:
Virtual PC 2007. I love it! It’s awesome. I’m thinking that perhaps I’ll do a screencast/screenshot series where I install each and every copy of Windows in Virtual PC 2007.
#2
MSDN Subscription. Thanks to this I’ve had all the software I could imagine - and I finally got VS08 Pro on my laptop, since the disk I got refused to run 
I also got Windows 3.11 off it So that’s what I’m playing with right now.
#3
Foldershare. Seriously, I’ve not found such a useful application in so long! I’ve got two PCs right, and no matter that they’re right next to eachother, transferring stuff over the network (auth :@) and USB sticks are fiddly, so Foldershare on both is so perfect. Like, really perfect
#4
Katy Perry’s album “One of the Boys”. I still can’t get enough of it
#5
Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw’s novel, “Articulate Jim and the Search for Something”. Awesome, and it’s free on www.fullyramblomatic.com. It’s really quite funny, and I was laughing all the way through the first chapter as the land pirates chased a ship (read: car) and drank grog (Carlsberg). Flipping hilarious
‘Till the next time! And check out tonights “This Week on Channel9″ 
Eminem?
It started with me wondering if “Stan” had a music video. Went to watch it.. and it was censored to high hell! For no reason, too, random bits censored out at the end, needlessly. So I went to eminem.com to see if there was anything proper. Only to discover that the last update on that site was on the 25th of September, 2007. Almost a year ago. Eminem has died, and hasn’t released any new tracks. Marshall is still alive, but Eminem, the passionate musician I once knew.. dead.
Kim, White America, Stan and Mockingbird? All have lost their meaning. I thought there was actually a passion behind these songs! Obviously not..
Nice one slim
So this poorly done Photoshop is what exactly? Nobody knows! Military testing? Is this where the Google aliens live?
The irony is, if this had been done properly, nobody would have noticed. But better still, if this hadn’t been done at all, nobody would have cared!

Dattebayo,the popular english anime fansub group, after subbing a popular (the best in my opinion) anime series called Naruto has decided to leave us Naruto-loving fansub watching people high and dry because a bunch of IDIOTS …..yes IDIOTS decided to stream the fansubs on streaming sites like Youtube. How dumb could you be….huh tell me, first off Dattebayo goes to great lengths to provide Naruto episodes every week for your enjoyment and in return you decide to violate the only rule attached : do not stream these fansubs. TELL ME ,HOW DUMB COULD YOU BE !!!!!!!! Gosh, i’m so angry… i’m very angry. Becuase of a group of IDIOTS all english anime fansub watchers of Naruto are going to suffer greatly… yes we will becuase Dattebayo is the only group that does english subbing of Naruto. Ah i can’t believe this …. when things were getting so interesting….Naruto and Sasuke crossing paths again and all…..ah. This really hurts, i wish Dattebayo would reconsider…looks very bleak but i gaze at the stars for a miracle. Please Db.
….’s voice. It’s amazing, a bit unusual but deep and american-brit pop style. It’s awesome.
Love Waking Up in Vegas, I Kissed a Girl and Hot ‘n’ Cold
I wonder where I’d be in life without music I’d prolly be rich by now because I’d have more time to do things I spend way too much time listening to music!
I need some manly music.. Michael Jackson Some Losties then.
Looks like that went well!
I almost died when I deleted the “wp-config-sample.php” and everything vanished! Turns out I’d disconnected from the server.
Enjoy updatedness and much less malware, w3bbo. I was running the version which has a hole about the size of a jumbo jet in it - I didn’t know since I administrated everything from Windows Live Writer
Expect hiccups. I usually get David Rees/w3bbo from C9 to do it for me - my host.
This is a good excuse to give him some publicity - he’s an excellent host, so if you’re looking for a nice’n'cheap one, you can’t get any better!
