XP Service Pack 3

Sat, 10/05/2008 - 1:38pm — jethro

So far I have installed XP Service pack 3 as follows:

Brand New XP installation P4 1GB Ram - Went really fast and no errors

Virtual Machine - went real slow but no errors

Existing machine P4 1GB Ram - extremely slow - no errors

Existing machine P3 512MB Ram - extremely slow - 1 error - couldn't copy atapi.sys from c:\windows\system32\drivers. After a bit of research I simply deleted the atapi.sys file and closed daemon tools.

Freak Morice - raw natural talent

Sun, 04/05/2008 - 1:53pm — jethro

A new family has come to our church and the 5 kids make up an awesome band. Named Freak Morice they played on Friday night for a school chaplaincy fund raising movie night we held.

I videoed them using my mobile phone camera and with their permission uploaded them to YouTube. Check out the Freak Morice MySpace site. All their songs are original written and composed material. They range in age from 16 to 8 in age. I have uploaded 5 videos to my Alborath YouTube account.
