It was only down for a few hours so I’m feeling relieved. I always thought that going with a reliable company I’m assured of up time but clearly not the case. After all I split the content between 2 sites to prevent this sort of thing from happening but might have to do more now…
Main Website not working again.

The main Hayabusa site is down again. I’m not happy about it and can’t do anything cause it seems that even the webs host is completely down. It makes me wonder whether it money well spent. Apologies to everyone. Hopefully they’ll get on to it asap.
Windows Vista in October Part 2
Fri 12 Oct 2007Filed Under Computers, Windows Vista | Comments Off on Windows Vista in October Part 2
As I reinstall the old XP machine I am impressed by how fast it runs on updated hardware. All the programs run much faster when in XP. Bearing in mind that Vista and XP are mere operating systems it really hit home how badly designed Vista is from a performance point of view.
Note that Vista needs at least a week as it sorts itself out and transmits your personal details to MS (cynical) but it does get more stable and slightly faster over time.
As for those who want a business case to keep Windows XP:
– Set up 2 machines with Vista and one with XP.
– Show performance of 2 machine from boot and to running your business apps – if they work!
– Show actual dollar cost of 2 machines.
I guarantee that this simple comparison is all you need.
Anyway when it came time to set up the notebook with wireless and wired together with phone internet access it was clear the Vista attempts to make setup difficult. I just couldn’t work it out in the 30 minutes I have spent so far. Even more telling was that VPN does not work in Vista.
Sure setting up XP’s VPN feature are not exactly intuitive but Vista’s VPN feature simply doesn’t work. I won’t go into detail you’ll just have to try for you self.
One more thing – Microsoft Outlook Web Access app does not work in IE7!
