Tags in Windows Photo Gallery

Heres a little tip when adding tags in Windows Photo Gallery in Vista. If you want to make the tags groupable, eg list places together, then you can do so by formatting the tag as follows: Places/Reading/Reading Festival; On the left handside you will see the treeview contain subnodes You can also drag & drop the nodes, which updates any photos with the tags.

I have a new nipple

I must say I am extremly impressed with the speed at which my tablet got fixed and returned (in less pieces than it was sent to them in). I'd heard stories of people not having their laptops returned from Toshiba for several weeks/months but my experience says otherwise. The screen has been replaced so the red lines have gone, and so have the dead pixels I once had. They also kindly replaced the keyboard as the down cursor key had fallen off, which means I now have a new nipple to caress with my index finger. So back to Vista <3

I was missing out the xmlns:s namespace declaration.

Vista speech recognition flawed!!

I'm sure by now you've heard about the Speech Recognition flaw in Windows Vista (my mom knew about it before me...my excuse is I was busy working all day and didn't have time to catch up on the news). The one that if a dodgy mp3 played on your PC it could delete files. Here's how to do it: Record a voice clip of yourself saying 'start listening' followed by 'delete everything' (im unsure on the exact voice commands). Send the recorded mp3 to a friend saying 'Lolz0r, l1st3n 2 d1s'. Hope they have a microphone. Hope they have a set of speakers. Hope the speakers aren't muted in the...
