• Some Interesting Vista RC1 Tweaks

  There are some interesting tweaks listed here on ZDnet. Im quite interested in Tweak #3, using a flash drive to increase system performance by caching files to the flash device. Has anyone tried this yet? I havent gotten round to it, but I am guessing the there will be various experiences of this anyway.  I found another interesting article on this as well, I quote some of it below:   Apparently ReadyBoost wasn't just developed to add memory to your PC via your USB port. Apparently ReadyBoost was designed to allow you to "barrow" [sic] memory from other PC's over a network as well. When Mr. Allchin told us of this concept, everyone flipped. Err.... umm... err... (speechless).. Anyone else heard this before? It was news to me! Share this post:                                        Posted Sep 15 2006, 09:55 AM by Paul E Davey with 1 comment(s)

• Any Joe Satriani Fans Out There?

  Guys.. just wondering if there are any fans out there? I am just getting in to his music being an amateur guitarist myself (and I mean amateur/beginner/bod). Anyways, I have attached a little (poor quality video, not bad sound) clip of myself playing the intro to one of his 'cool' tunes. I have been meaning to post it for ages. Obviously you need sound to get eh most out of the clip :-) Please let me know what you think? Thanks.
