I cant believe it - Federer lost - in 3 sets!

Serbian 20-year-old Novak Djokovic marched into a semifinal against Federer confident and took him down 3-0. I only saw the last 2 points, having turned on the telly expecting to see a good match - it was over almost immediately!

Here are some of Rogers post game comments:

Why I need a quad core PC

I am constantly running  a lot of applications, and am using the quad core and 2GB RAM that Vista will let me use (out of the 4GB installed) pretty heavily. I frequently see the cores drop into 80-90% use. RAM usage is often over 90%.

Right now I have running:

 

File Management

CuteFTP

Windows Explorer (2 instances)

Browsers

Internet Explorer 2 open tabs

Firefox 89 open tabs

Java game Settlers of Catan (playing a game with Judith and Miranda while eating lunch and working and writing this)

Particls - newsticker scrolling

Communications

Outlook

MSN MEssenger - 2 conversation windows open

Yahoo Messenger

Skype

Broke my nail :(

Actually I bent it right back on itself. About 1/3rd of the nail from the front was bent right back and standing up straight out. I got Jude to flip it back down.

How did I do that?

Catching frisbee in the park. Stress relief day today - aka family time. Took the kids to the park and played chase and catch the kids in the sand and the bushes, then parkour dive and rolls, then frisbee, then more jumping and playing, then kicking the football. After we came home all sandy and grimy and cleaned up we watched 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and then played Carcasonne online.

Now I am procrastinating instead of working, but will get stuck back into upgrading www.afana.com in a few minutes. We won the tender to do the major site upgrade they mention on the front page. We will also be advertising on the site for the next 12 months.

Lonely Server

Apparently the www.microsoft.com website is completely run on Windows 2008 servers now - and they are still only in Beta 3. As a result there is a funny little video about the last Win 2003 server at Microsoft. There are some funny references including a huge dig at Win Me, and the last line by the bar tender is excellent.

Check it out at http://blogs.technet.com/windowsserver/pages/about-lone-server.aspx. Watch the long version.
