Re-installing the XP OS

My ThinkPad X40 @work recently gets really really slow. I've been accustomed to the slowness of it, but after 2 months of absence I used my home PC (Toshiba Dynabook SS S9 with Windows XP), it was way fast!

That reminds me I should reinstall XP again as a fresh install. I thought the coLinux (linux kernel inside windows) was the key to make it slow. I didn't take any backup and did initialization of the harddisk.

It's much faster now. I'm now to install vmware player instead of colinux, to play with Debian inside.

I updated WebService::Bloglines module to support XML::Liberal as well. Sometimes Bloglines API returns very bad...

Nice food, gadgets and smoking IMG_4447 I had a dinner in Shibuya, with my friends last night. The picture captures whole lot of gadgets we had. This was mostly from just 4 of us. The food there was fantastic. I realized that smoking inside pub is completely legal in Japan, which sucks. Smoke reduces the taste!
