Louvre Museum Official Website
This is a must see sight if your like Art. The French museum has done a great job of creating an artistic and enjoyable site to display the greatest artistic works in the World. I would love to get time to go back and view them more patiently.
Last time I only had about an hour or more and that was just enough time to run and hit the high points. Which there are many.
Check it out and just let it soak in!
Stop and view the roses!

Vista upgrade over whelmed?
Well I just got this message from Microsoft "You should receive your order within 4-6 weeks and receive email confirmation when your order is shipped."
What?
I thought they said those who bought Vista Ready PC's in Dec 2006 would get Vista upgrades in February. Perhaps what they meant was Vista upgrade email notices of confirmation of order. My bad.
I originally waited till later in February to see what kind of damage the Vista system did to many of the current programs that I am running on my XP. Now I hear they can only say that 800 programs are officially ready for Vista? and by officially that means as you work, you will find the other untested issues later.
I am really getting more and more interested in other OS's I have been reading alot on Linux and Ubuntu. If I knew I could get all my programs to run on their systems and they were more efficient then I would very much like to make the switch. If anyone knows of a tutorial where you can switch from windows XP to another OS ..someone who programs and uses firefox adobe and openoffice please leave a comment.

Upgrade to Vista in Damery World
Well less than a day later I have a confirmation order number and a confirmation that the order and required documents have been received for the Vista upgrade request. Now I am waiting for another verified confirmation of the upgrade confirmation ...? I am not sure... I would imagine that the computer industry would have things a little more automated than this.
So far I am still running XP Media center...whoo hoo. I hope I don't regret the upgrade.
more later as I get more confirmations of my confirmations.

Vista Upgrade....Damery style
Well it is time to upgrade my ACER Aspire 5100 laptop running Windows XP media center version to the Express Vista ...
Wow was the Acer web portal Vista upgrade unfriendly. I really had a hard time finding where to go and what to click on ...after about 90 minutes of clicking and waiting I am filling out purchase info so that I can qualify for the free express upgrade. I thought I would blog about it as if someone else cared.
The hardest part so far is getting the exact date of purchase ..I got it after the Black Friday rush of 2006 which was so-so in the Damery World. Some deals but my lovely wife did me good and got a great deal for this at about $700-$750 and that is with 1g ram and an embedded video camera, since I thought I was on my way to Israel for work I wanted to be able to send the family Video messages. Come on this is the tech age, I can be anywhere in the world and be connected.
okay back to the upgrade, finally it was December 1 2006 and now I have to recharge my digital camera to take a picture of the receipt..I don't remember this being part of the deal.
With confirmation number and picture in email I send it off ..oops that was to EMCA now I send another copy to the Americas email ... and ... wait...

Google Domains, what it could have been
Personalized Start Page
Okay I signed up for the Google Domain apps package expecting a world of Google applications all tied to a domain front page. That was not exactly how it turned out, I had to setup on my own domain server basically a redirect to a Google partner page?
What they should have done was allowed you to create your own personal home page and then set up access control. To either allow all to see the URL or allow you to invite guest as they do with Blogger or various online documents.
Then allow us to point our DOMAIN names to the google Personalized pages and no middle man hosting is needed. The you can allow teams of people to access and modify the Groups personalized home page for the business needs.
I am surprised that it has not crossed Googles collective mind. After seeing the Pageflakes[see previous post], they demonstrate that the Idea of a shared and editable home page is indeed a reality and I would think it would be a small stretch for the Google collective to reach...HEAR ME GOOGLE COLLECTIVE?
Well I just shoot these things out there because I really am trying to find the ultimate Google world collective like my Damery World. Please leave a comment if you know of another Google mish mash site.
I use:
Google personal homepage
Pages
Blogger
Picasa pics and video
Google video
Maps
Calendar
Web gadgets
Reader
notebook
etc. etc.

Pageflakes - The whole Web at your Fingertips!
Pageflakes - The whole Web at your Fingertips!
Wow this is what I had imagined Google to do. Allow the feature of sharing your home page with others. After all the growth part of the web is community. It should be bringing people together as pageflakes does.
I am still tweaking things but I will try and get my web spaces in some sort of organized theme...maybe.

Quick, easy, powerful that is the Google World!
Well here it is another late night of tweaking and working with my various google tools. I am working on getting a new googler in the main NET stream. She wanted a Frontpage website.
What I gave her was:
GMail
Blogger
Google Calendar
Picasa w/webalbums
Google gadgets for the Blog to embed webalbum and calendar
GTalk for communication
personal home page with dynamic elements
and a price tag we all can appreciate. $0.00
Let me know if you want a way to communicate with the world or just a group of friends.
Damery World is getting built on the Google World and I can help you launch your World if you let me know what you want.
I am still tweaking the Google notebook and I have just learned some of the ways of Google reader. I am a techno who is becoming a disciple of google. Of Course Christ comes first, but I am just talking about the web.
