I'm back finally, with about a week and a half before my next trip. It's good being this busy, and I'm thankful for the good work, but it'll be nice to unwind some.

I got RC1 of Windows 7. I have to say that I'm quite impressed in its performance over Vista. With fresh installs, Windows 7 is performing about 30% faster than Vista was, putting it pretty much on par with XP in terms of speed. I'm going to keep doing some more testing, but I think I may actually pick this one up when it is released. It's great that Microsoft was generous and made this RC valid until June 2010. I've even got good drivers for all my devices!

On a sadder note, I've discovered Twitter. Let the endless microblogging commence!
