Just another day in the lives of me!
Tracking svchost.exe in Windows 7
Just noticed this in Windows 7’s Task Manager…
Under the Processes tab if you right-click a process one of the options is “Go to Services”,

and it goes to the Services tab and highlights all the services using that process! Nice for tracking svchost!

Cowen gets a big laff in the UK
Just saw this video and found it hilarious, its just the look of him! Ya big Dublin culchie!
My best of 2009
Another year down and another “Best of” post to do as I have done in 2007 and 2008 . 2009 was a year to be forgotten, judging by a lot of the Facebook status’ I saw in at the beginning of the month, and after recession hit full whack and the unemployment register met new heights even beating out the 39% spike in the 80’s I could tend to agree. All that on top of the fact that I turned 30!
But this post is not about the bad things that happened in 2009, rather the best of what did happen for me personally. And so I will begin with a few pictures that defined the year 2009 for me, as I always do.

Monkey Island: Special Edition vs Original Edition
I just recently completed the special edition of The Secret of Monkey Island and took a couple of screenshots to show the difference. I had great fun completing it again after about 20 years ( I was 11 years old the first time) with my 8 year old son who also enjoyed it. Fingers crossed they will bring out a Special Edition of Monkey Island 2 as I think that Le Chucks revenge was the best of the series.
And a funny clip…
Public Sector pay increases…
I just had the time so I created this..

And borrowed this ….

A good read here on the matter, read also the comments!
I’m just saying you gotta take the good with the bad and stop complaining about money being taken off y’all…
Kartworld – Better than last time!
Last time I went to Kartworld was about 4 years ago and it was the first time I had ever been Karting. As such I think I came last. This was my second time ever going karting and out of 20 or so people I came 2nd. Not bad at all in my books! I even got a trophy for my trouble!
