Stardock Fences

I always hated when I’d take the time organize my desktop icons in XP or Vista and the OS would throw our my layout the second the screen resolution changed. Stardock has a cool tool in Beta that helps with this called Fences. Described as a “Program that helps you organize your desktop…”, Fences lets you arrange your icons into categories. Best of all, you can take a snapshot of this organization so Windows doesn’t throw them away. It’s currently in beta and free to download. Very cool indeed.

Oh noes! RRoD!

Penelope seems to like the crowd noise in Madden '08. I've been playing it a lot lately. I've gotten my superstar quarterback 85% of the way to Canton; a good bit of the time while Penelope is sleeping in her bouncy seat. Unfortunately tonight I got the red ring of death. It looks like Miss P will have to go without the roar of the crowd for a couple of weeks.

My 360 is out of warranty but thankfully Microsoft is fixing RRoD gratis for 3 years. I guess a $1B+ is a small price to pay to keep your customers happy.
