Windows 7 really is a step up. I hate to point out the obvious, but it just proves how much of a failure Vista was. I’m getting notable improvements in performance on the same hardware; this should not be happening. It should be worse; the OS should demand more from the system in order to do more, and yet it demands less to get the job done. I’m so impressed by the new taskbar, and the dock-esque behaviors they have on it. It’s removed my need for shortcut icons, which means less of a mess on my desktop, and less scanning for the correct icon. Surprised it took me so long to get onto it from Vista. The difference in gaming is noticeable; I can go up to full resolution without a problem now. :]

Took some time out of my day to clean the house a little. Just the living room, but it made a difference. The dog covered it in his hairs as he does, but still. The parents certainly appreciated it, so I think I’ll do some more cleaning tomorrow. Hey, if it keeps the parents at bay, I can’t complain for half an hour’s work.

I’m looking at Aion, and yet again there is a Double XP event. I’m tempted to go back, but I’m not sold on even putting a month down, and there is my problem. I want to be able to commit to the game for a month to make sure that I give it a fair go; much like I did to begin with. Grnated, that run lasted six months, but you know what I mean. I want to love the game again, and really get my teeth into it. It’s either that, or get into FFXIV with Ashley. I’m interested in how Square Enix handles the MMO genre after it has evolved so much since FFXI.  And if it has a better group mechanic than Aion, I’m all for it. I hope they do the level-sync deal again; that way there’s no excuse for me not getting help from guildies. Of course, it goes both ways. I would be expected to do a lot with my free time for any guild, which is fair point.

Anyway, I’m blabbing now. I’ll cut it off here. Night.
