LondonCommons is changing again, but this time in a rather huge way. My company, Figure and Ground New Media, is undergoing the construction of a new LondonCommons. LondonCommons.ca will be an entirely new site not unlike but not related to LondonCommons.net except in name. Everything from site design, structure and policy will be different. The current site, LondonCommons.net, and all its contents, will be phased out of existence in roughly two weeks from now as we undergo closed beta-testing of LondonCommons.ca. I urge you to copy any content you wish to have access to now. If you'd like to be apart of the closed beta please email me at londoncommonsbeta@gmail.com.  read more »

I was just scrolling through the eeepc forum looking at the discussion over the new 900 series eeepc.  What made me look at it, is why asus decided to put windows as an option, and since XP is being cut off in June this year (2008, believe the 30th to be exact), whether vista is going to be the "option".

this article was quoted in the discussion, on how to claim a windows tax refund from the vender of a new computer.  read more »

aaaaahahahahahahaha

its a bit old, but I figure it would be the perfect to share since we can now add videos to blogs and forums. plus I just upgraded my VM's xp IE6 to IE7, and was surprised that it took 30mins, to do something that should take about 3mins.. oh well..

on another note, the site seems to work in both IE6 and IE7, so thats good.. but USE FIREFOX!!!
