Review: The Austin Sessions in Music JoeUser Forums

This is not a review blog. I am not a professional critic, nor have I ever claimed to be one. I'm just a guy who loves music in all its forms. Whenever someone asks "what kind of music do you like", it's very hard for me to answer because, well, I like just about everything. Name a style, and I've probably listened to it at one point in my life. For the record, I dislike digital downloads unless it's an incredibly high quality bitrate. Given the c

Reply to How did you pick your screen name in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

"Onestar" came from a D&D character I played back in college (YEARS ago). When I got my first full-time job back in '92, I needed to pick a login name. Folks have a tendency of misspelling my last name, so I picked "Onestar". It's stuck with me ever since.

Reply to irql_not_less_or_equal in BootSkin WinCustomize Forums

It could be a hardware issue or a video driver issue. Have you updated your video drivers to the latest stable release? Have you downloaded and run a memory testing program (I highly recommend memtest86+) Have you tried, as someone suggested, booting safe mode, or at least VGA mode, and see if the system will boot that way?

No longer Waiting for Guffman in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I was sitting in my chair late last night, flipping around, looking to see if there was anything decent on after The Graham Norton Show (on BBC America) ended. Didn't see like the usual fare of news, sports or (Heaven help me) reality shows, and wasn't tired enough to call it a night. Landed on IFC where they were showing Waiting for Guffman. Now, I love good improv, and I love the ensemble of the Guest/Levy movies (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, etc.) and although I'd let t

One Week Later in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

The party was today. It was a good time. My whole family was out there, which I know made The Kid happy. Saw a tear or two on her cheek. Had a talk with the nurses out there about her pacemaker and the appointment they made for her with her old cardiologist. Seems someone told them that I was out in California, and that's why they didn't call me. Now, even if I was out there, I'd still have my cell and if I didn't have the information with me, I could've gotten it pretty quick.<br

Reply to Weekly Poll: Should We Even Bother With New Galleries? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I voted no, but really, I don't care. I just come here for a few specific categories, and that's all. Which brings up a suggestion. I love that I can "edit" my gallery choices, so I don't have the long list of skins out there that are available to me. Since I don't use more than half of them, it's a nice feature. What I'd like to see, if possible, is a way to save that "list", since I'm a subscriber, and whenever I login on another machine (I view Wincustomize at work, at home, and on m

A quick update on My Kid in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

It's been awhile since I've posted an update on My Kid. (For those of you who don't know what I'm referring to, check my archives.) Really, there wasn't much to tell. She's been pretty good...no infections (which is surprising), no major problems. The flu was going around out at the nursing home, but I think she missed out on the worst of it. &

Back in the High Life Again in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

It's been over a year and a half since I've posted anything to this blog. Wow. I'll admit, it's been awhile since I'd written here. I had another blog (over at Blogger) I was using as my primary venting outlet. The world (well, my friends) knew to look for me over there. It was nothing against JoeUser or Wincustomize or any of the Stardock folks. They've been good to me, and their service has always been excellent. I

Reply to Weekly Poll: Wallpaper Moderation in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

This isn't DA, and as so many others have said, the last thing I'd want is for this place to become another DA. (No worries, I've no intention of starting another DA rant...my feelings are well know, and if you don't, ask me elsewhere.) I rarely submit wallpapers, but when I did, I was surprised to not see it in the main page, but did find it in my personal gallery. Took a little looking, but I found out why...and I was fine with it. I'll support going back to the old way of doing things

Multiple wallpaper manager in WB? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Okay, I might've missed this while I was searching the forums. If I did, I'll apologize in advance. I love the wallpaper manager in WB, but is there a way to have different wallpapers on different displays? I've got two displays in front of me, and I was wondering if this can be done, and if so, am I missing it? Thanks, kids.

Reply to CursorFX officially released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Hmm. I downloaded it and installed it on a test machine. Kinda miss the icon in the system tray. Be nice if it were back. When I doubled-clicked two themes to install them, they didn't show up. Hmm. I'll play with it a little longer, but since I'm not migrating to Vista anytime soon, I'm likely to just stick with XP...

Reply to deviantART about to hit 50 million submissions! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

My feelings on DeviantArt are well known. I don't need to go into them again. I left there some time ago. I used to drop in to visit with old friends I made there, and I made more than a few, but today? I don't go back. It's listed at 50 Million, but I'm wondering if they are including items that have been deleted (in as much as anything's ever truly deleted from their servers). I'd rather just congratulate Jark and Matteo for having the vision to create DA. I'm just sor

Reply to What do You Consider the "Core Sites" Of the Community? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

WinCustomize is the premiere skinning site today. DeviantArt used to be a good site, but their focus changed some time ago. I wouldn't even consider them a "skinning" site these days. In fact, I won't even go to "dAt" other place anymore, and I was there for a long, long time. If I'm looking for a skin or a wallpaper, I come here. Period.
