2025 - December 31, 2024
Happy New Year everyone! Well, not for me yet anyways, it will be the new year for me in less than 11 hours at the time of posting.
What will happen to me in 2025? Not sure yet. I know at this point that the first quarter of the coming year will likely be much the same as was 2024.
One video I do need to make this coming January is playing Roblox on Windows 7 for the last time, as it will lose support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.x on January 15, 2025, recorded likely a day or so prior. I won't be posting the final moments of it, since the loss of support technically rolls out through a client update, and I don't know when exactly the update will roll out on the 15th that will kill support for Windows 7/8.x.
Later on in 2025, Windows 10 will also be losing support in October (unless you pay for the 3 years of Extended Security Updates, much like with Windows 7's EOL). My early plans for that is to do an upgrade sensation of all the Windows 10 versions (from version 1507 through 22H2). Much like in the past, it will a VM, due in large part to the fact I don't currently have any machines that will work properly with all Windows 10 versions, and that aren't very slow and will take probably days to upgrade through all the versions of Windows 10.
Finally, I know I've been sort of neglecting the website for a while now. It's mostly due to the fact I've been pretty demotivated lately and haven't felt like updating the website much. I hope to do some more updates in the coming year whenever I can.
Anyways, have a safe and enjoyable 2025 everyone!
Crash Logging (NEW!) - August 6, 2024
As of today, I will start logging all the crashes and other events that cause any one of my computers to shut down unexpectedly. It probably won't be updated TOO often, since crashes aren't typically a thing that happens to me on the regular, but I guess we'll find out! ;) Link is on the navigation bar!
7 years on... - June 25, 2024
My Roblox account turned 7 years old this morning! (yes, I know it's a bit late. I'm writing this at like 10:00PM...). Crazy to think that's it's already been 7 years; time flies by way too fast!
...And that's all for now! (New stuff coming soon hopefully?)
Awesome domain hack available!! - March 29, 2024
Edit: Someone apparently registered the frutigerae.ro domain name on April 8th, but the website's just a parked domain landing page, so I'm not sure who bought the domain or what it's going to be used for.
Someone should totally go and register the frutiger-ae.ro (or frutigerae.ro) domain name. It's available, and an awesome domain hack!!
If someone ever registers the frutiger-ae.ro (or frutigerae.ro) domain in the future, maybe turn the site into a hub or discovery engine of Frutiger Aero-type content or something? Maybe make a cool Fruitiger Aero-designed website or landing page? Idk, the possibilities are seemingly endless with a cool domain hack!
eepy Definition - March 28, 2024
eepy: Shortened (clipped) form of sleepy. Often used jokingly as a slang term, or when you're too tired to type sleepy in it's entirety.
Based off of eep, the shortened form of sleep.
Usage examples:
"I'm so eepy this morning..."
"I've been eepy all day today... why!!!"
"I want to fall a eep, but I'm not eepy right now..."
"My cat is looking very eepy."
Weird MSPaint bug in Windows 11 - February 23, 2024
Edit: The bug was fixed after an update to the app sometime in April.
So I accidentally came across a weird bug in Windows 11's MSPaint app last night, where if you remove the background from a solid white image when the image resolution is set to 1536 x 960, it will remove most of the white color in the image, but shows a few random brushstroke-like parts of the image that aren't removed. Even more weirdly, this bug only occurs if the image is solid white (even if the image resolution remains unchanged from 1536 x 960). If you fill the image with a different color other than white, the background removal feature removes all of the visible solid color in the image.
This bug works even if the solid white image is created in another image editing program like Paint.NET with the 1536 x 960 image resolution, and then opened in MSPaint and has it's background removed. I haven't tested other apps, but I assume it results in the same or similar behaviour. Weird...
Windows 2000 VM Setup! - January 31, 2024
Started playing around with Windows 2000 again (in a VM anyways, I don't have any old enough hardware to test it properly on). Probably one of my favorite Windows UI designs for the time (even though I was born well into the Windows XP-era). The wallpaper used on the desktop can be found here. The UI colour scheme used is called "Storm (VGA)" (you can change to the colour scheme in Display Properties > Appearance > Scheme then choose "Storm (VGA)").
Happy 2024! - January 1, 2024
Well, a little late (it's 8PM where I live as I'm posting this), but it's 2024 now! I'll probably post something more cohesive about my plans and other misc. stuff later whenever I can.
Plase enjoy yourself!
