I have been working with my team to get ihatestickers.com ready for launch on March 14th. So far, we have been doing a great job at making progress and we are 95% complete, but we keep adding more stickers to the product catalog. I’m pretty excited for the launch and I think our site will be a great source of funny stickers and logos for everyone.

Here is the party flyer:

Well I’ve been working on my article for Windows 7 x64 vs Vista x64 on my new Quad-Core budget PC that I built for some home gaming, and I just started doing the benchmarks for Windows 7 in overclocked form. I must say… I’m extremely surprised that I’m not seeing the same results that everyone else is seeing.

I thought that when I was doing the comparison at stock speeds, I would see a bigger difference once I overclocked, but even now, it is pretty much the same and even slower in some cases.

If I had to take a guess as to what is going on, I’d say that there are still some driver issues to be worked out. The parts are all pretty new parts, but I was able to install all of the drivers in Windows 7 without a problem.

Anyways, it looks like I might end up choosing Vista to run on my home PC. I’m itchin to start playing some CS:S, Crysis and World in Conflict.

Well I finally bit the bullet and signed up for FaceBook. It’s quote confusing, but I think I’m getting it.

I also created a page for Technotic Media. Check it out here: Technotic Media’s FaceBook.

Enjoy!

Folding@Home is a distributed computing application, unlike any of the others. The goal of the project is to understand protein folding, misfolding, and their impact on various cancers and diseases. Scientists speculate that the result of misfolding is what causes diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and more. The distributed computing application does computations that help the project.

I have been contributing to the project on and off for over 4 years. You can see my personal stats here. I encourage everyone to check it out and give it a shot. The program runs in the background of your computer, doing the calculations with the idle cycles left over within the computer.

In addition to just helping out as an individual, I have started a team for folding. Our team, Technotic Media Folding, has done pretty well over the years. At one point we were about 435th out of over 50000 teams.

If you would like to help our team out, you can go to Folding@Home and download the software for your computer. Once installed, pick a username, and put in 34583 as the team number, and you’re good to go!

I’ve been working lately on some new projects, and they’ve got me stressed out like crazy! I am trying to learn this new e-commerce software, Magento, and while I believe it is a great e-commence system, I think it almost needs to be dumbed down for me, haha.

I should have some more updates soon with one of the new sites!

We finally got to hold him today He opened his eyes and looked right at us!!!!!
