Just for my Hayabusa BLOG readers (not very many I might add – I think it was a total of 8 last month!) – I will reveal what I will be working on!

It’s a Hayabusa Screensaver!

BUT it’s not for the computer it’s for your mobile phone.  Yes I’ve been busy learning the ropes around Nokia mobile phones – and I will be dedicating myself to creating the best animated Hayabusa Screensaver for your mobile phone.

Why? bother – because it’s a challenge and I tend to be persistent. It’s going to be completely free as usual.  It will be available via the Nokia MOSH .

If it all works out I shall also do a new one for the the PC and MAC!

Windows Vista in March 2008

Windows Vista is being annoying again.  I have been installing all the upgrades to Vista as they become available.  However I have not seen any improvements at all.  There are 2 really annoying things I’ve been trying to stop the OS from doing and have so far been unsuccessful.

1- Internet Explorer opens tabs and new windows when it wants to.  It does not do what I tell it.  They aren’t pop-ups or anything.   This is a joke and a long running one.

2 – If you have a dial-up account Vista decides that it will be the default connection and the log in box appears when it feels like it, often when it is most annoying.   I have tried everything to stop it appearing but it won’t stop it.  This started when I created a new dail-up connection to be used in emergencies.

These Vista problems should not occur on a PC that has been clean installed with all the patches, with only an additional graphic editor and the MS Office package installed.
