Updates to May

Since my last post a lot has happened that I want to write about in this new entry. I am making progress in my golf video game, in the rivals mode, over half way complete, and playing it on the XP system. In the Arnold Palmer era, will see if the competition gets any better. My XP PC is still working well and I use it to install and test free software utilities and applications. My Vista system had to get a clean install of the OS after a problem with account permissions. I use free security protection for it now, and it loads faster on bootup. I got a new game last month called Trainz 2006, a train simulator. Here is a website that has good tech articles and the latest news: http://www.maximumpc.com. I continue to learn about computer technology in a reference book and may take the A+ exam when they publish the new version this fall. I am also learning more about electronic component technology like switches, resistors, current, soldering, volts, etc. in a book. I visit more social websites this year than last. Meetup.com has some cool events to attend at restaurants, courts, movie theaters, cafe's, and trails in this area. Another site that I update is http://www.facebook.com. I have a twitter and LinkedIn account as well. I sent some invitations to a few people after browsing for friends on my MySpace page. My friend and I played billards, disc golf, and darts many times around Raleigh and Cary. I hit some tennis balls a few times since January, but don't play as much as last summer. I fixed up my bike and took it to some off road trails near my apartment.
