it's still half done... in a way... well... you do get the meaning... don't you...

Its been a long while

By Calvin
WAH!!

I may remember something but as usual I always forget them....

If you are wondering why I have post anything for..let say a week? The answer is realy simple: I have been out and about. Where? you might ask.... Well I have just been hanging out with some of my (new) friends... (wha?) Its a long story.

I am still thinking of what to post....and what about the future..(semester is starting up again)...might not have anytime to post.

Then again, as one of my old pal used to say, you are never to busy to post something. Maybe he is right.

ARGH! I am thinking too many things in one go....

Till then, au revoir
 

Small Post: how to "sort" the program menu

By Calvin
Apparently, there is another way of sorting out the program menu without going thru the registry (editor) . This is not something i found out by myself, merely stuble upon someone else's work.

So, here is the link.

A change of (desktop) view

By Calvin
Heh, sorry this took too long (that is if you even notice) but I was exploring the net wilderness to search for a certain something (related to this posting, of course). Unfortunately, I could not find that bloody thing... oh well the post must go on anyway.

Changing the logon is relatively easy (check previous post), changing the looks (or colour) of the taskbar is even easier than the logon stuff. Now follow this steps properly.

  1. right click at any blank space on the desktop.
  2. go to properties.
  3. go to the appearance tab.
  4. ignore the the display box there are and go straight to the scroll lists (d0n't remember actual name)
  5. go to colour scheme nad choose any of the colour (besides, the default one)
Here is the before and after thingy:


Before

After, or

the other effect!?

this is as simple as it gets....However there is another method. This method is actually a more of an official release by microsoft. Remember that previously mention stuff at the beginning, this is what is it all about. recently visiting microsoft site yield no result and some of the external links seem to be not working...I wonder?Anyway, here is how that stuff, royale looks like on a taskbar:


Some may think that this may not look as cool as the silver one, but it does its job all the same. In short, royale, as it is known as, allow one to deviate from the usual looks. Which is good, at some point, annoy you to the very brink of madness (I snaped once!).

Now I cannot supply the link but I still have the installation file. If you want it, just leave your email here and you will receive it soon.

I will also upload the file to file server (Hejime you know what does this means) for those who have access to it

Phew, that was long one...I swear this is even longer than the other posting ...... which is funny.....I just said that it is very easy.....nevermind that!

till then, au revoir
 

Back from no where....I think

By Calvin
Whew, just came back from a little family trip......In short, plenty of scenic view, stuff and not to mention animals too...What the heck, I am no good at explaining stuffs, so I have post up a photo gallery, you (readers) should note that the photos are placed in chronological order so you wont get confuse...

there will be some part of the photos are actually from last years trip as the (digital) camera run o ut of memory. Besides, the weather was not prefect for any photo-taking

Ah, I forgot to mention something important: this trip is about traveling the mid-southern part of Western Australia (Always keep the important bit to the last so people will continue to read to find out....MUHAHAHAHA...what a genius.......)

here is the gallery
or you can just click on the flickr badge on the sidebar. Do not, I am still uploading photo at the time of this posting, so bear with me will ya!?

till then, au revoir
 

Untitled.....really!

By Calvin
Its being a week since I post something here... If anyone remember I promise (maybe regreting now) to post at least once a week...so here I am. I dont really know what to post right now but its best to keep an update on things happening (for me) in the real world.

I have being out and about, its that simple. To be more precise, I have being reconnecting with a few lost contact/friends (during the last semester) and enjoying life outside the house (boy doesn't this makes you wonder?). Right now I just fell like babbling all the way thru but that is not me at all. So, this would bring us back to why the hell is this post about?

.....seriously, I have no idea at all....WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Oh yeah, just remember. I will continue to post a few more stuff on changing desktop looks, views, feels, which ever you are comfortable using.

Till then, au revoir ........
