Hi all.
ok firstly skype must say except for the aditional niggles they have really got the quit skype down to a tea.
On v3.8 it would lock sometiemes crash itself and the system.
in 4 there was lague.
in 4.1 despite what I said yesterday it quits like it should.
I am also happy that you can leave most of the visual brouser stuff out the install.
in fact if I chose to I could leave extras out which means I can’t actually load extras, and I should probably keep this open.
next java 6.14 is out on softwarepatch although they are so behind these days that I have taken to getting my updates offline.
Skype seems to have it right, with some things.
1. keyboard nav is all in one menu choice.
2. all options read and sojme have advanced modes.
skype interface for me at least is good, I like the extra things.
not sure about sending files as I havn’t bothered with this.
am a bit angered at the fact the abbout box does not work still and that now the quit box is now hosed unless I use navigation modes.
Winamp.
most of the updates are for inmod which I think are overdue I use bassmod because its worked.
Thankfully there are no incompatible plugins.
winamp and skype

RE: TruthOrFiction.com Virus Alert
A couple of virus warnings that are out there today:
The first one is capitalizing on the death of pop star Michael Jackson.
The email comes with a subject line about Michael Jackson such as
“Remembering Michael Jackson.”
It appears to come from an email address from “michaeljackson.com”
It includes an attachment titled “Michael spongs and pictures.zip” which
is described to include secret songs and pictures of Jackson.
Security experts warn, however, that if you click the attachment you are
exposed to a computer virus—-one that almost immediately starts
spreading the virus to other Internet users via email.
The second one is an email offering you a software update from Microsoft.
This one directs you to a link—-but don’t click it. It, too, will
expose you to infection.
As always—have good virus protection software and keep it up to date.

July 3rd, 2009Hi.
skype4.1 is out with msaa support.
Have not bothered much with this bar set options.
quitting is a bit more harder than it should be from systray as you need to use your vertual curser because the systrey menu is just inaccessible now.
if not bad things happen to the system.
at least this one.
still I can’t see any change although the extended navigation keys are in one item in accessibility now.
all options are accessible in the options page and some have advanced groupings.
now thats an improvement.
I don’t use ims, prefuring to use msn messenger, however if they would just fix abbout and the systray box then
It would be good, also send files.
firefox 3.5 is out and judging from what I hear has a good writeup.
3.0 users update to 3.0.11 then 3.5.
realtech demi and hidef drivers v2.7 are out.
ms mouse and keyboard intellipoint and intellitype driver v7.0 is out.

I replied to Rick Fergison about this type of thing when he posted something about one celebrity death, I said that Michael Jackson was next. Take that to the bank, fellows. We’re not done yet.

Can’t we make up our minds yet? I know PC makers had little time to stop production of the said disks, but ship the PC’s who have it already, and those that don’t they don’t get it. Simple solution people?

This is the article I believe Rick was comment on in the next post you’ll see below this one. I’ve always been used to the masking of passwords, and I would have no idea on how to change any such thing in web development. Nobody has complained to me about having trouble logging in to something except if they tried something that isn’t registored like the other day for MENVI, but that is all. I would have no idea how they would change this anyway. Thoughts?

This is an interesting debate. I can see both sides, but I have always been in the understand that seeing stars for your password was a good thing. Maybe you don’t trust yourself to enter your password cause you can’t remember it and the basic password you can? It can be an interesting debate topic.
