SORRY..............but I won't be posting for a while. I'll be far away from any reliable computer and there is no way I can promise to do regular posts. I'll be back mid-October and hopefully full of energy to resume normal operations. See you then.
As a farewell here's a cartoon from a while ago that caught my funny bones, it's from Speed Bump which I try to see every day. For any one addicted to the net out there I'm sure you will find this funny. Am I right?

For those of us using VISTA SmartPCUtilities is offering VISTA SERVICES OPTIMIZER. When you install Microsoft Windows Vista for the first time, you will notice the low performance of your system. There are many reasons of the performance problems in Windows Vista, one of them that there are many of Windows Vista services that are running in the background that consume a lot of CPU power and take up much space in the system memory (RAM) which we do not really need them at all. So to tweak Windows services by stopping and disabling unwanted services in order to reduce CPU usage and save some space in the system memory for free CHECK IT OUT!

Weekly MP3 shareAnother share of one of my MP3s. I set up a new one once a week and give you seven days to check it out. After that it will be gone and replaced by a new selection. Please don't link to this. Just click on the link and save it. Until I can make some money and buy some, if you get the message BANDWIDTH exceeded, just try again tomorrow. For this week:
Mp3 Share U2 "Get Your Boots On" or you can try here too!
U2 was in Toronto last week for two shows at the Rogers Centre. It was quite a visit. Everyone was overwhelmed. The press and attendees had nothing but fantastic things to say. Because of all of this I had to choose a U2 song from their newest album called "No Line On The Horizon". The song I'm sharing is called "Get Your Boots On" which was played at both shows to great audience approval. Hope you enjoy my share. If you do enjoy it you may want to check out the wiki page.

"Avast, me maties! Tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Check out last years entry in the archives for some neat stuff. This year have a little chuckle:
A man with a pegleg, hook hand and an eyepatch went to apply to be a pirate. Interviewer: How did you get that pegleg? Pirate: Arrr. I got me leg shot off during the first world war. Interviewer: How did you get that hook? Pirate: I got me hand cut off by a big knife. Interviewer: What about your eyepatch? Pirate: It was a rainy afternoon and I looked up into the sky and a bird crapped in me eye. Interviewer: And that put your eye out? Pirate: No, it was the day after I got me hook.

Mp3 Share Band of Skulls
"Hollywood Bowl"

or you can try here too!

Band of Skulls started in England last year and are being compared to bands like the "White Stripes". You should listen to decide for yourself but I think they deserve to be in the same league. They released their first album early this year called "Baby Darling Doll Face Honey". The song I'm sharing is called "Hollywood Bowl" which I really like. They released "I Know What I Am", "Blood" and "Patterns" as singles from the album but not this one so far. Hope you enjoy my share. If you do enjoy it check out the wiki page and buy the album to listen to 12 tracks.
