Camspace August 2, 2008

I just got invited to be in the Camspace beta. For those who don’t know, Camspace is a program that lets you use your computer like a Wii. All you have to do is take an object and tell the program to follow it. You can then use the object as a certain part of the game you’re using. If you were doing a flight simulator, then you could use the object as the joystick. I have not had a lot of time to mess around with it but from what I can tell it’s a really good product. Just remember that this is a beta product and is not completed. I have found some bugs but that is expected with beta products. You can apply for the beta program here. I will post more things about it will I have had more time to play around with it.
Windows “Mojave” July 31, 2008

LOL. This is so funny. Microsoft’s new campaign to change people’s thoughts on Windows Vista seems to be helping some. What they did was rename Windows Vista to Windows “Mojave” and make people think they were using a whole new operating system but they were really using Windows Vista. I think this is a great idea since most of the people that don’t like Windows Vista have never used it, have used it but on a slow computer, or have used it on a computer with a lot of junk software on it. You can view the videos of what they did here or watch this video:

Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 3 has been released and I have not had a lot of time to test it but you can download it from: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing and click on alpha 3. The biggest change is tabs in the file manager. Remember that all the changes in this alpha release may contain bugs that could harm your computer or your data, I recommend installing this in Virtual PC which can be downloaded here for FREE!
