Boot Camp: Macs do Windows, too

April 6th, 2006

I see this as another reason to love Apple. With Apple's Boot Camp which is still in Beta, installing Windows XP on your Mac is getting even easier.

More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today.

I bet we are not going to get anything similar from Microsoft, are we?

enrii.blog Back Online

April 3rd, 2006

This blog was away during the weekend. It's definitely not for any good reason but hard disk failure at the server. All my files on the server have gone! And, to have my database and files recovered, I believe it's going to take lots of money and time. So, I decided to use whatever backup I have and leave other posts gone.

I'm lucky that I upgraded to wordpress 2 not too long ago and the pre-installed database backup plugin was great. My last backup was 2 weeks ago and I recovered a few more posts from Google's cache. However, my other blog which has not been upgraded to wordpress 2 had all the posts lost!

I hope you all will do more backup so that you won't get the same fate.
