i've begun restructuring my Windows 98SE partition from ground zero, meaning that i reformatted and started all over - this is for that partition - my Windows XP partition is still alive. =)

since i want my A/V editing rig as perfect as possible, i've started collecting stuff to put into it again... so far i have these titles up in the queue:
- Adobe Premiere 6.5
- Adobe After Effects 5.0
- Cakewalk Sonar 2.0
- Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 6.0
- Sonic Foundry Acid Pro 4.0

i'll also start tossing support apps into them, such as plugins for Sound Forge, transition software for Premiere, etc... =)

i've been hearing so much about Meteor Garden so far that i've decided to go buy myself a copy of the entire 1st season... call me sucker, but it's amazing how popular it's actually become...

hmm... Adobe is coming up with a DVD authoring package - should take note of that...

i think my head hurts from too much sugar intake this afternoon after our choir practice... should not have taken that much gulaman... heheh. *cringes*

wow! talk about a cool thing to have in a garden! i wish i had the time to actually make this though. i'm sure that it can't be TOO hard to build, now that someone has the idea out... =)

looking to skin your Windows XP desktop to something a bit rebellious? check out this site, which features a pretty complete list (and download) for anything you'll need to make things look a lot different.

now if i could just get one of those cool TFT monitors for use with my rig...

speaking of rigs, i really should get around to assembling myself a new rig someday... this one is clearly showing its age...

enter a new era of p2p software - BitTorrent.

heheheh... actually i know so little about it, but it claims that the more people downloading from one source, the faster the downloads go for everyone! just check out their website for info on it... =)

the reason why i bumped into it is because a friend of mine pointed out to me that Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free multiplayer-only download, and weighing in at a staggering 260mb, he advised me to try getting it the BitTorrent way.

so far so good. but i have yet to see spectacular download times coming from it. maybe it's just chance... i'll just try downloading a few more items using it and see whether it really is a good bit of p2p software. =)

UPDATE: i've decided to NOT use BitTorrent for now - it turns out Destiny Cable has it hosted on their FTP server. i'm sure it'll be loads faster from there. =)
