From the July 22 show:

“Leo and Patrick recommend the following partitions.

200MB to 2GB partition for your swap file. This should be your first partition.
C: drive. This is for Windows XP and your applications. Make it 20GB to 40GB.
Partition to hold all your temporary directories. 10GB.
Partition the rest to hold your documents and other personal data.”

I’d never considered creating a partition just for TEMP. Hmmmm … dunno if it’d optimize any head access but it’d sure reduce fragmentation on the other drives. Ditto for a dedicated swap partition.

Says it was added in SP1 but I can’t find it anywhere in gpedit.msc.

Supposedly buymusic.com has more tunes that Apple’s store and single cuts are only 79 cents.

(Why is it the EBCDIC character set used on IBM mainframes has a cent-sign but the 7-bit ASCII character set we all use on out machines still doesn’t?).

Was contacted by someone at bloki.com asking for an export of my weblog here on blogger (along with instructions as to how to effect the export) so they could verify their import processes. Can’t wait!

“The File Download dialog box in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 and later has been updated. When you download a file, the File Download dialog box displays additional information about the file.”

I’ve had an account at bloki.com for a little while. They provide free web pages and weblogs with a pretty full-featured editor. The service is nice, but it really hasn’t been anything to get excited about.

Well, recently they added RSS feeds to each weblog and just within the last day or so each account also has been given the ability to create free forums. And, on top of it all, it looks like they’re going to add weblog import so you’ll be able to pick up your weblog from another account and transfer it to your bloki.com account.

So, free web pages, free weblog, free RSS feed, free forums … hmmmm …

No, I’m not affiliated with bloki.com other than having one of their free accounts.

There’s a really well documented procedure at http://neologasm.org/b2mt/ for exporting a blogger.com weblog and importing it into Movable Type. This is nothing more than the directions you can get from MT but with screen shots for each step.
