Believe it or not, there’s an Internet petition sponsored by InfoWorld to save Windows XP. The gist is: Windows Vista does not cut the mustard, and people seem to be quite happy with XP’s features and stability. Reminds me of the furor that XP caused when it replaced Windows 2000.

Reader Rasmus Pettersson, from Sweden, took one of my pencil sketches and worked his inking and coloring magic on it. I think it looks fantastic!

Hi there, Krishna! I inked and colored one of your sketches recently (just because it’s fun), and… well, I though that since I’ve done it, I might as well show it to you, and maybe hear what you think. :) It didn’t take that long, but it was kinda hard to see everything because of the low resolution…
You don’t really need to respond if you don’t want – you can look at this like a “thank you” for all the help you given me, especially through your videos on youtube. Because of you, I feel much more confident in Painter. (and I’m using the scratch board tool like you told me, once) Everything works great, and I’ve finally started my own comic.So, just keep doing what you’re doing – and I’ll keep learning. ;)
Thanks for everything!
Sincerely/ Rasmus, aka “some swedish guy”.
Thank YOU, Rasmus! Glad the Youtube videos helped! Be sure to check out his webcomic “Glitchtown” – it’s a funny tech comic I’m sure you’ll enjoy!

Thanks to the overwhelming success of the latest MacUpdate Promo, I’m playing with Parallels – a sweet little application that lets you run virtual machines. I converted my Vista Ultimate BootCamp install to a virtual machine of sorts late last night. It was there I ran into my first little hiccup – Vista couldn’t detect my network. After spending 20 minutes, I found the solution was to add another Ethernet network port using Parallel’s network configuration. It wasn’t an obvious solution, but one I managed to figure out nonetheless.
Now that everything’s working, I have to admit it’s pretty neat to run Windows Vista and Mac OS X side-by-side. My next task is to download and install Ubuntu. Then I’ll reach another milestone of nerd-dom – having one machine with three operating systems on it.

‘Cardassian One’ in today’s comic is a reference to Star Trek – specifically the notion that most geeks tend to name their computers after something Star Trek related. Spock, anyone? :)

My wife Aarti helped me plot the ideas for the ‘toons this week, and I’m pretty happy with how they’ve come out. Comments? Feedback? Let’s hear what you have to say!
