Windows Vista & Office 2007
finally after wasting lots of time thinking i installed Windows Vista Rc2 to my laptop..
fortunately it’s working…all the devices were detected..but my sound card didn’t working even thought it was detected there was no sound…
so i went to the RealTec web-site and downloaded the vista driver and now it works fine…
no aero for me…my vga doesn’t support it….except for that everything else works fine..
i installed Office 2007 as well…
most of my software are not compatible with Windows Vista…including Nero, Symantec..damn it..still i don’t have a virus guard..
i thought of installing OneCare…
everything is running nice and smoothly soo far..

Hard Disk Failed
oh great..what i wanted more than ever!!!! damn it
when i switched on my computer in the morning today i heard a “Tak Tak” noise coming out of my old hard disk…i guess da time is over…and when i tried to access data i got the same problem and it stopped responding…
anyway now im backing up all the data using Ghost..
hope i’ll be able to recover everything..it’s a Maxtor 80gb hard disk, 30gb full of DIVX movies + 20GB video tutorials :(…
im going to try low level formatting after this…it’s going to take hours!!!…
i was just about to boot from my Win2003svr and install Exchange Server to do some practices..i guess i’ll have to install Win2003Svr to a different partition or to my VMware machine…
seems like lots of extra work for me…

easyFormProc v1.1.0
A more stable version easyFormProc v1.1.0 has been released with minor bug fixes and updates. easyFormProc is a PHP class that I wrote which can easily handle Forms in PHP scripts. I had lot of suggestion flowing in regarding the script. But didn't get a time off to release a major update, but I do have them in mind. I will keep posted when updates are released.
