Scar Tissue?

I've spent a large percentage of my free time recently reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography "Scar Tissue". Its a pretty crazy book - he has a crazy life story - but its a really interesting read, although at times something of a rollercoaster ride (on drugs, off drugs, on drugs, off drugs...). While reading I went searching for Chili Peppers-related sites. Checked out RedHotChiliPeppers.com - quite nice. The "FleaMail" is a bit of a laugh. Its definitely made me think more about their music - which I've liked for many years now (although Blood, Sugar, Sex Magic - my 1st album of theirs - was pretty late in their career).

One thing I found really interesting about his book is his strong connection with New Zealand. He bought a house up north, and visited many times. (Although a section of the book detailing one of his relapses is pretty scathing of the NZ doctor that prescribed him the wrong meds!) :-D

Vista RC1 on Toshiba M400

Excellent - someone has put a nice howto up on their blog for getting Vista RC1 on a Toshiba M400, like mine.

Will have to try that out. First I need another SATA hard disk, I guess :-( I just bought a 2nd hard disk a few weeks ago, to insert in the "Ultra Slim Bay". But I bought a 100GB 7200RPM IDE disk - and it needs SATA! Doh!

VMware Announces New Product for Apple Mac OS X Users

Finally! Maybe my next laptop will be a Mac afterall. With VMware for Apple Mac OS X the Mac is becoming an even better option.

I wonder how much influence the Petition had on their decision. Not much, I would guess. I'm sure its just a very good business decision.
It'll be interesting to see just how well it performs, especially in comparison to Parallels and Microsoft's Virtual PC.

A great way to secure your data from Security Investigations - just use a computer thats 20 years old :-)

I guess if you're a competent security consultant (with a few years under your belt) you might have had a C64 when you were growing up, so it might not be so much of a problem ;-)
