Idk Blue Mosaic
Here is the wallpaper i used for the website background. It’s a blue mosaic that i got from an Android wallpaper forum. For the life of me i can’t figure out where i got it from; all i know is the file is called idk.jpg. I extended it using Adobe Fireworks and used Adobe Lightroom to darkened the edges for the effect.
Western Digital Raptor HD Vs Intel X25-M SSD
Feb 25th
This video shows a Western Digital Raptor hard drive Vs an Intel X25-M SSD when starting a bunch of applications simultaneously. The speed is amazing. Too bad the X25-M is still a little too pricey, hopefully SSD’s come down in price later this year.
Comparison of Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD and Intel X25-M 160GB SSD when starting 51 programs simultaneously in identical installations of Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 with full of programs and drivers. First benchmarked the Raptor version, then taken an image of it and transferred it to the SSD. The Intel SSD was first updated with the latest firmware.
Computer specifications: English Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64 bit operating system, Core i7 920 CPU, 12 GB of DDR3 RAM, Asus P6T-Deluxe motherboard, ATi Radeon HD4870 X2 graphics card. Newest drivers, all Vista updates to date.
Windows God Mode

This little trick allows you to access all windows setting in one place.
Create a folder and rename it to:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
I know this works in Windows x64 and x86. It should wok in Vista or Windows 2008 Server but you might have to enter safe mode to delete the folder if you no longer want to use it.
This is what it looks like once you open it:
Unable to set date for the following file … Second Copy and ReadyNAS Problem
Feb 24th
I ran into this problem when copying files from my windows system to a ReadyNAS NV+ using any Second Copy profile. When i tried to copy files locally up to the ReadyNAS i kept getting, “Unable to set date for the following file …” in my Second Copy log files. Turns out the issue was caused because Second Copy ignores a two second time difference between files to account for different types of file systems used between systems (Fat 32, NTFS, Unix Based file systems).
To fix the problem, you must edit your Second Copy “profile.dat” file which stores all the program variables. The location on my system was, “\Documents and Settings\<currentusername>\Local Settings\Application Data\Centered Systems\Second Copy”.
Make sure the Second Copy program is turned off. You must add “IgnoreTimeDifference=2″ to either the [General] section or the [Options] section. like so:
[General]
…
[Options]
IgnoreTimeDifference=2
Restart Second Copy and the problem should be solved.
