Back to my new PC, it’s quite a nice change to be able to actually play games on a PC, as a for the last two years all my gaming has been happening on consoles. So I’ve got quite a bit of catching up to do, although I’ll have to still get a decent screencard to play most games at a decent rate. I go the cheapest one I could get to just get started. It works, but there’s plenty room for improvement.

I’ve got Vista running on my machine now, which is quite a change from Linux again. One of the next big things I need to do, is to get my MP3 collection updated on Windows, it was all good on Linux, but I lost a lot of the OS specific stuff there. All in good time though.

Watched a few movies this weekend, and managed to get videos streaming to the Xbox through Linux without using a Windows Virtual Machine. I found a paid solution that does video and audio through Linux which is exactly the same as from Windows, but I really don’t want to pay if I can avoid it. The free solution doesn’t work so well with my large music collection unfortunately. Perhaps in time.

Today things are getting back to normal, traffic is quickly picking up to the usual high volumes, and at work it’s business as usual. I guess all good things come to an end!
