Ath's Blog

Made the jump to 7 Professional earlier today from Vista Ultimate x64, the install went smoothly on Microsofts part however I did have a couple of issue with my RAID/Driver so I figured “Screw it, forget the RAID and go for a SSD later on”.

Got everything set-up and back to the status-quo, in record time I might add. Overall usability is blazing fast, my rig is fast so I haven’t really noticed any distinct change in performance and I don’t have any benchmarks to compare against, so that makes benchmarking rather pointless for me personally.

The “Superbar” takes a some getting used to, but so far the space gained from the removal of text-labels is great for how I use my machine, hopefully with time more developers will also add Jumplist-support which would cement my love of the Superbar’s design.

The main “review” will be coming at a later point, probably in the next couple of days, if you have any questions or screenshot requests, leave ‘em in the comments and I’ll be happy to oblige.

Going to be reorganising the entire website over the next couple of days for simplicity and ease-of-bookmarking.

I also have planned a few updates to the site homepage, replacing the unused Ather-Tech twitter with a RSS feed from this blog.

Along with that the topics I will cover on this may diversify in the future, so keep an eye out.

Wow, 1 year and a day ago i was waiting for and eventually installing phpBB 3.0.0. You may be thinking “Uhh, okay. You’re telling us this why?” so i’ll elaborate.

I can remember the day very clearly, playing a couple of rounds of high-grav HL2:DM with a bunch of people and sitting on Vent, nothing really out of the ordinary. Yet it feels like it was yesterday.

This all came about by the release of phpBB 3.0.4, must of sparked a random neuron somewhere.
