Vista isn't that bad.
Call me un-educated, or mis-informed. Call me naive, or ignorant. Call me what you will. I just don't see the problems with Windows Vista that everyone else seems to see. I have had a computer with Vista for about eight months and have yet to have any serious concerns. In fact, compared to my 2004 model computer which ran on XP, my new computer is awesome. My old computer was a Geo Metro, and the new one is like a Cadillac. The only complaints I have are centered around the user interface of Vista and Internet Explorer 7. I find the UI to be be rather clunky and unyielding. The orientation and location of items throughtout Vista doesn't seem to be as user friendly as XP, and moreover, Mac's OS X. Furthermore, Internet Explorer constantly decides to stop working everytime I have more the ten windows open. This, of course, happens when I am working on a large project and need all of those windows. I think I will switch to Fire Fox before all is said and done. Overall, however, I have not had the compatiblity problems or driver issues, or crashes that I expected to have to tackle. I think that maybe I benifited from waiting a year after its initial release. Most of the serious bugs, that I can tell, have been worked out. That said, I think my future lies in the intergration of running Vista in a virtural machine within Mac OS X.

Finally! My New BoA Card has Arrived!
Bank of America took their sweet time in sending my new debit card. It was set to expire by the end of the month, and had a big crack in it. I checked the mail box everyday for about two weeks. It came just in time for the next round of bills, thank you.

Slowly but Surely
It is taking me awhile, and am close to burning out (its 3 a.m.), but the framework for DanielVining.com is just about done. Eventually, I will have not only my Picasa Gallery, I will also have very active links to this blog, my Lockergnome blog, Myspace, and The Speedzine. I really hope this all works. The 2008 racing season is here - the North Dakota season starts in early April. With the time I am taking to get prepared this year, I feel very confident that this season will be my best. More to come.
