Windows XP Tweaks
Today my computer had a strange problem. Basically something got corrupted on my system and the minimized windows no longer showed up in the taskbar. They were still in the Task Manager, but not on the taskbar. A little research and I came across wonderful site by the name Kelly Corner which has tons of useful tweaks and fixes for Windows. Use Kelly's Taskbar Plus script to fix your windows problems.

Walking in slow motion
I would like to learn how to walk in slow-motion. I think it will really intimidate my opponents when I walk onto the tennis courts. Trouble is I have no idea where to start and how to actually do it. Probably a better solution would be to play some kind of Jedi mind trick on my opponent to make him think that I am walking in slow-motion when I am really just walking normally.

Eastern European Encodings
Man, this is really bothering me. Couple of days ago I was reading something on the internet about an app and people complained that their version of encodings was broken or something, anyways it seems they talked about something like Bosnia is now a different country and Herzegovina is this and Serbia is that and now they don't know the encodings and Cyrillic this and Latin that, etc etc. Then yesterday I am on the msdn blogs for something totally separate and run across an entry on the BCL Team blog titled "New .NET 2.0 Security Patch Changes Some Culture Names on Windows XP/2003/2000 [Justin Van Patten]". Was I surprised to see a table of encodings there that talked about exact problem these pppls where having just 2 days ago and now I cannot remember what that was all about but this entry would sure be useful for them, so click on the link above to learn more.
