Inspirat SE and Styler in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I just dropped by deviantArt on my daily routine. I noticed that StefanKa has just released a new version of his Inspirat visual style. For the record, I'm not all that overjoyed over all the Longhorn-based themes out there. (Or the endless mac-based eithter for that sake.)

Reply to Thoughts go out to our friends in London in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I was at work when I heared the news. Can't say I was surpriced. I've talked with my mates in England sometimes about terror attacks in England. And everyone expected it to come. The Underground beeing the most likely target. I've thought about it when I've taken the underground. Very hard to control, even thought they take great care to make sure unattended items are removed. I'm currently back home in Norway for the summer, working. My first tho

Ah, ok. That's nice. All thought, I don't use MS Office any more. (Or MS Works or whatever came with the computer.) Word drives me silly when I try to put more than a coulpe of images in a page. So I've moved to OpenOffice. Do you know if it will feature more products? Like Visual Studio?

Customizing - Not only for software in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Slashdot featured an aritcle today about this guy who made a new cover for his iPod in wood. What's really impressive is that the thickness of the cover is 2mm. (In imperial measurement it is... erh... very very thin.) The article features some nice closeup pictures of the finished product as well as pictures and description of how he made it.

Yes, I think I mentioned it once when I was reporting a bug for something, but it probably got lost in the crowd. But I'll keep an eye on the IRC channel and see if I can catch someone at SD. Who'd doing the deveolpement on WFX and WB?
