Re: How Was Your Christmas?

pfff

christmas is a time to give gifts to people you care about. and to look back at the year :)

Nova	27-12-2005 02:30

Re: How Was Your Christmas?

No, i give people I care about gifts when I run across something i know they would like over the year, not when the Industry says: GO BUY OVERPRICED STUFF NOW, ITS FUCKING CHRISTMAS. NO NO NO ! I refuse to take part in this farce.

Re: How Was Your Christmas?

I had a great Christmas.

I got a couple of books I would STRONGLY suggest reading; they are by O'Reilly so they are great books ;).

1. "Windows XP Hacks"
2. "Google Hacks"
3. "PC Hacks"

O'Reilly has a whole series of "Hacks" books so check out their website to check if what you’re interested in is on there. They aren't actually hacks in a sense most people think hacks. By "hacks" they mean tips/tricks/learn how to do really cool stuff you didn't know you could do. For example, in the "Windows XP Hacks" book they teach you a lot about how to edit Windows GUI through the Registry, or how to better protect yourself from ads, spam, and the like. They give a lot of links to great software that I never heard of and now I use them everyday.

I got various other items like a nice pair of headphones, CD-R's, Money (yay :) ) and what not.

Nah, they mention some great firewall programs, and even how to hack the firewall programs lol.

But hey here is a sweet "hack" for all your command prompt junkies. When you right click on a drive or folder there is an option to open the command prompt to the folder/drive you have selected. This "hack" only applies to XP. It may work in other versions but the Reg entries are probably different.

1. Open the Registry Editor. If you don't know how to do this chances are you shouldn't do the hack:blush:

2. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Classes/Folder/Shell

3. Create a new key called Command Prompt

4. Make the default value of this key to what ever you want the right click menu to say when you right click a folder. For example I use "Open Command Prompt"

5. Create a new key beneath Command Prompt called Command

6. Set the default value to Cmd.exe /k pushd %L

Christmas means a day off work. Now only if people wouldn't call at 4:30am, 5:30am, and if the little kids around the area didn't wake up so early...

Re: How Was Your Christmas?

To some extend I tend to agree with nova about Christmas... I was writing a wishlist this year and after extensive thinking i figured that i really didn't want anything at all... I mean, there are some things which i could use, like cd's and stuff, but it's not really anything i can really appreciate, since I could buy those cds myself, really... it's not really personal.

I can see a point when it comes to small kids, cause they wont have any money, so they need christmas to get toys, but when you get older and actually earn some money yourself, this becomes irrelevant... except if your parents are giving really huge gifts, I guess.

BUT! it's not all bad, cause i got some color pencils and drawing paper, which i would never have thought of buying myself... so now I'm gonna be really artistic!! yay :D

So the point is that i find it pointless to exchange gifts that we could just as well buy ourselfs, but when it comes to gifts that actually mean something to you, then it's a wonderful idea. But then, if you give people something that actually mean something to you, then you could give that to them all times of the year... that's true, but I find it nice to have an occasion of some sort...

Re: How Was Your Christmas?

When you get older you start getting things like trousers and jumpers, shoes, etc.

Excellent for getting out of forking out for those essential things, and you don't have to do the shopping yourself.
