G33k stuff

Yeah, couldn’t think of a better title. Random g33k stuff here really.

New updates to software. Firefox 2.0 is out - it’s not that good; a few new features like spell check in fields, but many extensions are incompatible with it. Evernote 1.5 is out - not much change either apart from largely cosmetic updates that I can tell. IE 7 is also out - beware when installing, there’s no cancel button! The status bar just does that scrolly thing, doesn’t even represent the true status, it just tells the user that something is happening.

Meanwhile, if you want to automatically hibernate your computer at a set time, use the Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel, and set it to run the command:

C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState

Set a date and time and click OK and it’s set. Of course you need the proper power management settings on your computer, but if you can hibernate normally (manually) then this should work.

Well, IE installation is telling me to restart. I think I’ll shut down and play with it tomorrow.
