Bling Bling
After looking around on a Windows Vista laptop last week, I decided to pimp my XP laptop to a Vista look. It took me all weekend, but I did it, I now have a Windows XP laptop that looks like it has Vista on it, including the sidebar. It looks cool and I think I now have the best of both ‘worlds’.
Besides being busy with the tuning, I also made some more jewelry. A pearl bracelet and a few sets of earrings. Of which I will post photos soon. Right now I’m looking for some new ideas for jewelry with the beads I have now. I’m also still waiting on an order of beads I made last week; including swarovski beads, and I can’t wait for them arrive (impatient much?!)
What kind of jewelry do you like to wear?

Wow you make your own jewellery?
I don’t really wear any jewellery but i like simple stuff and also those long necklaces with a bunch of hearts and stuff and the ends.
Also I love those ‘Recent Photographs’ at the side!
Earrings! I love earrings. It doesn’t matter if they’re made of plastic or other cheap material, I go for the design – the more unique, the better. And, I know it’s not really jewelry, but I always have to have a wristwatch on when I go out.
wow. i’m amazed that someone actually wanted vista!! it’s so pretty, but isn’t it a systems hog? or did you somehow get it streamlined?
and omgomgomgom! i love love love beading and making jewelry. I started out years ago w/ simpled seed beads and i’ve now progressed to semi precious stone and crystals. i’d love to see some pics of what you’ve made. post some?
Vista isn’t that bad. I have been using it since it came out and don’t really mind it for every day use. I had some problems getting some hardware to run but now that drivers are updated it runs pretty stable. I think I have less crashes then when I had XP. Honestly though Ubuntu 7.10 with Desktop Effects is way more awesome than Vista or XP. Sure it is linux and can be a bit daunting but it is incredibly stable. Now if I can just get my gaming keyboard and webcam to work….

Nicely done!! My laptop has Vista as well, and my desktop is still on XP. It’s not too bad though.
I like both still.
Oooh… you should post some of the jewelry you made!
I like the smaller kinds… not too big and flashy.
