and I’m a Facebook addict.
Sweet Mother of Moses.
There’s gotta be a 12 step program I can join for this one.
99% of the blame for getting me hooked on Crackbook rests squarely with Microsofties and the upcoming WPC in Houston in a couple of weeks.
Alright…I’m off to rob a liquor store to support my new habit.

The officially official version of Hyper-V just hit the download site today at noon Pacific time.
In an amazing feat of time-warping, this post was sent back in time to coincide with the exact moment of Hyper-V’s release.
Before you go all crazy downloading and installing Hyper-V, remember that upgrading your virtualization platform takes some planning and forethought…
If you care at all whether your virtual machines will still work, that is.
Some standard cautions about new versions of Hyper-V…
- Once you put Hyper-V RTM on, there’s no removing it.
- Virtual machines in a paused or saved state usually can’t be upgraded.
- Before you do anything else, export a copy of your virtual machines to an external drive exactly as you want them preserved.
- Archive all your exports into .zip files, so you don’t blow your only shot at an import later.
- Snapshots might not survive an upgrade. So merge your changes before shutting down your virtual machines for the upgrade. But push those exports first!
- Don’t forget to install the new Integration Services at some point, once you’ve verified your machines are all happy and working on the final release.
And for Pete’s sake…
- Keep a copy of the current version of Hyper-V that you are running, just in case. Otherwise, the export copies you pushed will be less than worthless.
In fact, why don’t you store that copy of Hyper-V used to make the export copies right WITH the export copies, so you’ll always have it if you need it.
In case the absolute very worst happens.

E-Cycling Day was recently included as part of an Alabama Public Television feature on green initiatives in our state.
The entire show is available online from the APTV.org website. If you just want to catch the section on E-Cycling Day, start at the 26:27 mark.
And for the record…uncontrollable laughter.
That was the reaction from Running Antelope, Apple of My Eye, and Cute as a Button to the awesome Winter Hat of Justice I’m sporting.

As the announced upgrades to Windows Mobile 6.1 roll in, this post will keep a running list of links to those upgrades.
No idea if the upgrades will be time-limited as many of the Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrades were, but it’s almost a given that you will have to sign-up or register your device to get access to a ROM update for it.
CONFIRMED UPGRADES
HTC
TyTn II = Europe (Registration required)
