  • PDF Creator, not working with Vista

    I had been advising to use PDF Creator to produce PDF files from any program under Windows. It appears that the product does not work with Vista. Even worse, sometimes, it seems that its mere installation is breaking havoc in all Vista printing and when it happens, it may be difficult to uninstall. Just wait…

  • Which forum for WordPress?

    I am currently wondering whether I could add forums to roumazeilles.net (you can give me your opinion on this).

  • Recent posts about RAID storage

    RAID storage is using several hard disc drives together to improve the reliability (sometimes the performance) over what can be done with one single disc drive. The recent posts here: Creating a RAID-1 on OpenSUSE Testing RAID-1 on OpenSUSE Software RAID: a question of light

  • Free online Photoshop

    Adobe has been observing the desktop application market and specifically seen Google challenging Microsoft with its online Google desktop suite (spreadsheet, text processor, agenda, etc.).
