“Experience has taught me that oftentimes, gamers are better off taking projected release dates with a grain of salt, but I can’t help but feel like 2007 is going to be one of the best years in gaming history…I had trouble limiting it to only 10 of them, so I didn’t. Here are my most anticipated games of the coming year:”

Although I don’t particularly care for most of the games on this list, I am stuck playing Rainbow Six:Vegas, and I just bought Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter:2 this weekend. I must admin that I really like GRAW2 single player, and it has absolutely beautiful graphics, but I am not sure that it is the most difficult to play through (RB6 Vegas is much harder on Realistic mode).

I would have also liked to see Forza Motorsport 2 on this list. I would say my top 3 this year were G.R.A.W.2, Halo 3, and Forza2.

This will show you how to get your Ubuntu customized. I recommend that you Download VM Player and then get the appliance to go with it. That is how I familiarized myself with this. Now I have it loaded on one of my old machines specifically for web design, and internet usage for my 3 year old!

I am having a hard time figuring out which photo program to use for the thousands of pictures that I have to get back up that were on Fotki.

My options are:

Coppermine Example

Gallery2 Example

Both of those are free (opensource)

In addition to that, I paid for one a few months ago, but it is a little more difficult to operate. It does in fact look better in my opinion.

SlideShowPro Example

After a long absence from updating this, I think I am going to get back into keeping this up to date.

I have had a lot of things going on around here recently and have spent my time doing other things. I’ve been working on remodeling my kitchen, raising two kids, working my ass off, and when I get some spare time, playing a little Xbox360.

I have grown into an “eclectic” mix of interests in the past 6 months. Photography/PhotoShop, Video Games, my website, my wifes website (www.melissaschwandt.com) , Watches, Open Source Projects, and the Virtual Computing World.

There is tons of stuff that I would like to put on here, but if I actually do it, that’s another thing. I know that I will for certain put all my pictures from Fotki on my site since I let that expire. I saw no use in paying for that anymore when I have this site at my finger tips. Now it’s only a matter of teaching the wife how to use it!
