New Computer - Vista - CFEclipse and more

Well the new computer is here and running beautifully.

I bought it from this company, which my brother has used a few times. They were very good and aside from a slight delay I am quite happy.

As I mentioned before the new computer looks a bit out of control. The case has windows, blue glow and guages. Still, it is fairly quiet, and much more powerful than my last machine.

I am running Windows Vista Premuim which is basically Windows Media Center for Vista. The media center looks great. The new interface is nice, but will take a bit to get used to. I haven't tried to hook this up to my xbox 360 yet, but my notebook (xp) works connects to the 360 just fine so I don't anticipate any trouble.

I have just installed the latest build of CFEclipse. It is working well. I haven't decided what to do for an FTP client. I know the new cfeclipse has some sort of ftp built in, but I haven't played with it yet.

One thing I haven't gotten used to with Vista is the file explorer. What is the file path to my documents folder? Or whatever the equivalent is these days. So much to explore and learn. Plus, I want to install world of warcraft, but I can't find my original CD's or key. Damn it.

Nice our company just bought new desktops and laptops for everyone got a new Dell 9200 desktop and Inspiron laptop for trips.

You should play some Battlefield 2142 i started a spoof clan. Not really a clan but just something to have fun with nothing really there but you can make the connection to my soliders ie MonsterHesh and DesCapitan you can see the clan page at http://www.TLSOM.com i havnt added any contact info or anything but the game rocks.

I haven't tried Battlefield yet. What is it like? I haven't played much for games lately actually. Getting DDR for xbox260 in a couple days. Looking for the latest greatest MMORPG. I like WOW but ready to try something new. Then again I am soooo busy I don't have a lot of time for games. So easy to get distracted.

Battlefield 2142 rocks i try and play atleast 45 min a night, not to be good or anything but to whine down at night before bed. Nothing like fragging a fee 13 year olds before bed =)
