Yes!! Me and Alana are going to get married here in Crewe on 30th April this year! 😀

Right first off the BT nitemare ended after 4 months of hell, 6 engineers and over 50 hours of fone calls!! Turned out all that was causing the problem was a defective master socket fitted by the BT engineers that installed the fone line on day one!!!! Now I’m happy with a 4M connection…well i say happy 😉 seems BT have started capping us now from 6PM til midnight..no mention of it in their usage policy or in the terms and conditions on signup..supposed to be unlimited but it seems that we all seem to go from whatever the connection is, for example mine is 4M, to about 500k until midnight. Now during these magical hours the BT speedtest site wont work! What a supprise there!!

Ive added a nice java speedtest page 🙂

The e-petition asking the Prime Minister to “Scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy” has now closed. This is a response from the Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

Thank you for taking the time to register your views about road pricing on the Downing Street website.

This petition was posted shortly before we published the Eddington Study, an independent review of Britain’s transport network. This study set out long-term challenges and options for our transport network.

On behalf of NVIDIA, the Vista Quality Assurance team would like to thank our user community for participating in the bug report system. The information you provided is valuable and will help us improve the quality and performance of our drivers.

As part of this process, we will be periodically sharing updated information on some of the top bug reports we have received on our Vista Beta drivers, common workarounds for certain known issues, and clarifications of issues that are outside of NVIDIA’s control.

Windows Vista Limitations
These are behaviors that may be different from Windows XP and are related directly to the Windows Vista operating system.
Selecting Vertical Sync (vsync) from the NVIDIA Control Panel does not affect DirectX applications.
Due to architectural changes in the new Windows Vista Window Display Driver Model (WDDM), the graphics driver can no longer disable vsync from its own driver or Control Panel. Selecting this option from the NVIDIA Control Panel will have no affect on DirectX applications. For applications that use Direct3D on Vista, use the vertical sync setting within the application. We are adjusting the help text in the NVIDIA Control Panel to make this clearer to our customers.
Horizontal and Vertical span modes are no longer available under Windows Vista.
Due to architectural changes in the new Windows Vista Window Display Driver Model (WDDM), span mode cannot be supported in NVIDIA graphics drivers. NVIDIA recommends using the built-in Windows Vista multi-display modes.
