It was time to blast my old Windows Vista to smithereens and install Windows 7. I’ve been using Vista without reformat for 1 year and 8 months. That’s pretty good for Windows. It was much better than the other previous windows incarnation where just about every six months I have to blast the whole installation and reinstall it due to something not working as it should and not able to solve it any other way other than full reinstallation.

Google Webmaster Central DNS Verification Method
Google Webmaster Central DNS verification method is a little tricky to use in comparison with the HTML and META tag version. However there are instances where you would need to use DNS verification in situation where your domain is not using a normal web hosting provider and such you have no way to upload a HTML file for verification.

Baby Night Out
It’s baby night out! My wife’s mother was celebrating her birthday at Overseas Restaurant so baby was tagging along in the baby carrier. It was an exciting time for baby, a chance to look at new things. Well mostly new lights. He likes lights and the restaurant was full of it.

My Desktop Computer Becoming Slower, Time to Reformat
Inevitably, Windows based computer will have this annoyance. After a period of time, the desktop computer will become slower and slower. Slow to boot up, slow to shut down. Eventually it start to behave like a snail rather than the speedy computer system that you once bought or build a short couple of years ago.

But what I see looks awfully suspicious. Instead of a sign up page it asked you to key in your email address and password! The part where they ask for the password sets of an alarm in my head!
