Installing Windows 7 From a Flash Drive
February 27th, 2010If you have a copy of Windows 7 installation media as an ISO (disk image) you may want to put it on a flash drive. You might think that you’d be able to just click and drag the file onto the flash drive and be done, but that isn’t the case! Here’s how to do it
First, have a Windows 7 ISO (duh)
Next, download and install Microsoft’s ISO tool here. (That is a direct link, originally found the link here. If you’re doing this on Windows XP, go to that page and scroll down to “For Windows XP Users” to find two more downloads you will need.)
When you open the program, it will look like this. 
Hey! Roomie isn’t dead either!
February 11th, 2010After completely rewriting FRI from scratch (and renaming it Arcadia), I have decided to rewrite my other big project, Roomie. This absolutely needed to be done. Roomie had some good functionality, but I had hit the limit for its extensibility. Roomie’s engine was a monolithic blob of ugly code, with very little room to make it into a full scripting language with features like custom functions and if statements. My redesign of Roomie, which I call RoomieRemake for now, is completely expandable, is properly multithreaded, and has all of the potential to be a robust, featurefull scripting language. Just like Arcadia, I am proud to declare that RoomieRemake shares absolutely no code with its predecessor. Not even a single copy/pasted line of code! More on that in a bit, but first an end scenario: 
Roomie Mobile Update

This is why you double check things
January 27th, 2010After months of blaming my i7 desktop computer’s tendency to overheat on it’s high performance and small size, I discover that… the CPU fan was on backwards. fail. It’s temps used to hover around 50°C, now they’re down to just below 40. Recently, when transcoding a DVD with HandBrake, the temps got up to 80°C, but now with the fan reversed, and all of that dust removed, it rises to a reasonable 65°C. Happy days!
