I'm such a hypocrite...

I just installed Windows XP on my laptop after telling myself and my friends that it wouldn't happen again. However, in my defense, it was in a Virtual Machine so I won't be using it with any kind of regularity. It's more so I can manage JetDirect Print Servers than anything else.

Meeting Updates

Another month has passed and I've attended yet another month of User Group meetings. This month was very exciting though. At the Orange County PHP Meetup, we've decided to set up a Southern California PHP Conference. This is really exciting since I've never actually been to any of the big tech conferences that go on throughout the year but hear about pretty much all of them and think it would be exciting and super fun.

Gateway Recommendation

If you're trying to install Windows XP over your existing Vista installation on a GT5628, Gateway recommends that you follow the instructions here. Unfortunately for Gateway, the instructions on that link are not instructions on how to do anything, let alone Windows XP installation instructions. I think they meant to send me this link which would actually be useful if I just wanted to know how to install Windows XP.
