Battling Uphill

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Sometimes it looks this way, where in reality, it does not.

No matter how hard things get in life, a fight is hardly an uphill battle. There are always opportunity to gain the upper hand. These are usually advantages. They give a person some plausible chance to push hard in their aspirations. The point of this post is to say: An uphill battle occurs ONLY when you have exhausted all advantages. I’m glad that God is not one to be exhausted.

RoW – Forbes: Is Microsoft Better Off Without Gates?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

“For Microsoft the loss of Gates won’t be nearly as profound. Gates narrowed his involvement at the company eight years ago when he gave the chief executive job to his college buddy and right-hand man Steve Ballmer. The reality of the last few years is that Gates has been mentally checked out, pursuing loftier goals at his foundation.”
The Vistaster of Microsoft….

XP Era Ends, Will Vista Stand Up?

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

from ZDNET

“The Windows XP era ends June 30 and soon hardware vendors will be shipping you all Vista all the time (in most cases). The save XP effort failed. The whining should cease. And now it’s time for Vista to sink or swim.”

Ahhhh….Vista sunk a long time ago. To me, it bit the bullet on the performance and stability issues. I still say that XP runs circles around it because XP has been through hell to get where it is now. Of course when it first hit shelves, there were compatibility issues, which continued to improve more and more.

I took Vista off my custom desktop and even worked hard on my laptop to get vista off it because it was preinstalled. Compaq didn’t have official drivers for XP, but after a few hours of digging, I managed to get it together.

Will I move with the fold and put Vista back into action? I doubt it as of right now. My mind and heart are comfortable with XP Service Pack 3.

On the 30th, XP ends. Well, there’s always OSX and Linux!

Evolving From The Ground Up

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Now this one is perhaps the unorganized point of my blogging, but this will be on random topics that began to hit my mind while I was between classes.

  • 22 Years of Life…..

I look at a lot of things and say….”Damn, why do I waste my time?” Well, honestly, I’m truly beginning to learn how to clarify my vision. Translation: I’m going to officially detach myself from a lot of unnecessary shit (and yes I used that world out of exhaustion and spite.) I’m basically getting to the point of being a tired and exhausted soul; therefore, I’m going to really, really, really, say “Screw it.” As of right now, I’m going to take a new approach to my life, no longer seeing the glass as half-empty, but half-full. I want to rid myself of a lot of stress, though I know my life will not be 100% stress-free.

  • Logical Thought

I’ve come to grasp that I may be a slight bit OCD. I’ve been described as too logical and a little too uptight (like I have a damn broom up my ass). Anyway, I don’t know why I am like that, but I guess that no matter how much I may be in the limelight, the timid side of me will always bring itself out.

  • Physical and Mental Evolution

So, I’ve bulked up, can bench over 200lbs, and perhaps beginning to come to a stronger mental point. It’s a point in my life where a light went off and I said, “Hey, let’s shake some things up.” So I hit the gym and the books in a religious fashion, non-stop, consistently.

It became a very goal-oriented point in my life because I desire change. It’s who I am and its what I want to do.

LosEvolution is a point where I plan to execute a final solution, and it starts with the small things….the ones that make the largest difference.
