  • I'm planning on installing Win7 on my PC soon. Will my iPhone still sink with the new install? Won't it want its old iTunes? Anyone knows? #
  • I should have been more specific: I'm planning on doing a fresh install, not upgrading. Although… That could be a temporary solution. Hmm. #

  • Thanks so much everyone for keeping me company while I was installing Win7. You are all too kind. (PS: only took 25 min, amazing!) #
  • Weird RAM issue: bios & win7 (64 bits) see 4 gigs but say "only 3 available". Same kind of problem (cont) http://tl.gd/78bsn #
  • Could it be that the motherboard is too old and only addresses 3 gigs? Weird, but I don't see any other explanation… #
  • Thanks all (and @Icesnake1950), I'll try updating the bios tomorrow. Maybe it'll help with the IDE drive issue too. Or not… in reply to Icesnake1950 #
  • Ok, the drive issue was that no letter was assigned. That's fixed. But the bios update didn't fix the RAM. Guess I'm stuck at ~3gigs. :( #
  • Well poo, now my PC won't boot at all. Black screen, no bios access. Maybe I shouldn't have updated the bios after all… DIY boxes FTL. :( #
  • Emergency Procedure Alpha complete (set up Crappy Laptop so I can at least record and somewhat edit the 157 shows I have to do this week) :/ #

  • 3 hrs, 2 GFX cards, 4 PSUs & 2 fans later: issue is ID-ed. RAM combo+new BIOS = poo. Should've listened to your tweets & tested it more. :/ #
  • Thanks so much to @saudi and @acedtect for being on The Phileas Club once again. Sorry for not having a live stream everyone! Online soon. #
  • After a hellish computer day, I'm hoping Sherlock Holmes will make it better. It'd better not suck! #
  • So… Sherlock Holmes was ok, but after all the raving I expected more. A bit disappointed, but it's still a cool movie. #
  • Quick PC Q: can use a 2.66ghz core 2 duo on DDRII 533 RAM? Will it run (slower) or just crash every other second? Do I *need* DDRII 1066? #
  • ARG! I have been an idiot and I lost half the Phileas Club we recorded yesterday. The good half. SO angry right now. Totally my fault. :( #
  • @notank Bien sur que j'écoute l'apéro du @captainweb ! Bon pas toutes les semaines parce que 3h ça fait quand même long, mais j'apprécie. :) in reply to notank #

  • Ok I'll say it: I'm more excited about Apple's Wednesday thing than I was about Xmas! Who has theories about why we're going crazy over it? #
  • My answer: we're not under a spell. Apple has improved our daily lives twice already (iPod & iPhone); we're just hoping they can do it again #
  • AppLoad 6 dispo, avec entre autre des prévisions très intéressantes de @Jeromekeinborg sur la tablette! http://bit.ly/7BHiv6 #
  • Olbermann VS Stewart: wow, it seems some people *can* indeed accept justified criticism in the US! http://bit.ly/8jWuKw #
  • I'm feeling very very sick at the moment. Throat hurts like hell and I have a headache. You should wash your hands after reading this tweet. #
  • @leolaporte's live coverage of the Apple event has started already: http://bit.ly/12Y2EP – We're starting our French coverage in 30 min too! #
  • [FR] Venez suivre l'event Apple en live avec @matthieublanco et moi-même et d'autres ! Rendez-vous ici: http://bit.ly/boKTEy #
  • [FR] Toujours en live avec @matthieublanco pour l'event Apple! iPad déjà dévoilé, ca dépotte! http://www.macplus.net/ #
  • iPad – My girlfriend: "I want this. I hate my laptop, it hurts my back when I'm lying on the bed. I want this."-I think non-geeks want this. #
  • Computer = at your desk. Laptop = same, your lap is the desk. iPhone = in your pocket. iPad = everywhere else. *Everywhere* !! #
  • @sabin1001 Haha I see your point, but the idea is that there will be different uses: charts, sales, inventory… And many we don't see yet. #
  • The Finn made me think of another use: it'll be a great computer for developing countries. OLPC style. Needs a price drop, but in 1-2 years? #
  • iPad: I think many are mistakenly thinking it replaces the iPhone. It doesnt! It replaces the laptop for many (not all) uses. #
  • [FR] Après la nuit, je crois toujours au potentiel de l'iPad. Un mini ordi pour tous! Surtout si l'OS 4.0 adapte l'interface (multitâche…) #
  • [FR] "Pas de flash, c'est nul!" ? Vous jugez ça en tant que geeks! Attendez que votre maman ou votre oncle l'essaye, ils seront conquis. #
  • It is indeed complicated – http://bit.ly/9giOIO Tune into The Movielicious later today for more! (with @nicolespag & @The_T) #
  • Want to hear @Extralife, @hawkito and myself ramble about the iPad? It's all on this AppSlappy special! http://bit.ly/b4t4Xh #
  • The Movielicious starts streaming in a few minutes here: http://bit.ly/19iqoe – with @nicolespag & @The_T of course! #
  • What Apple will announce after the iPad http://yfrog.com/4ga8kp (via @VhKL / @matthieublanco) < Haha! > #
  • @extralife Arg! @mollywood scares me when she's talking about the present, so I'm guessing she'll be terrifying talking about the future! in reply to extralife #
  • I can't sleep… I tried counting iPads, but it doesn't work any better than sheep. #
  • Try counting Fanboys in line the launch day, kind of like sheep ;) /via @jeromekeinborg < haha indeed, that ought to do it! G'night all! > #
  • [FR] AppLoad special iPad dans la boîte! 1h pour tout savoir: le pour, le contre, et le pourquoi. En ligne très bientôt. #
  • Apple iPad: quoi, pourquoi et comment résumés en 1h! Un AppLoad spécial à mettre entre toutes les mains: http://bit.ly/cVHo3T #
  • Congrats to @raygun01, who just became a father! Tripple hurray! #
  • Hehe, I know a couple of people who could benefit from reading this article about social media "noise" by @m_nash: http://bit.ly/934ccg #
  • I actually made macarrons! As unbelievable as it might seem, it is true. Awaiting congratulatory tweets. http://flic.kr/p/7zCGuR #
  • Et voilà ! http://flic.kr/p/7zFRbt #
  • Addendum: half the praises go to The Finn. :) #

New blog

Filed under Patrick's plog

The new blog is up! I’ll be posting my “bloggish” type articles there from now on.

It’s available at http://patrickbeja.com

Note: I’m dating this article Feb 1st 2010 because I don’t think it should appear on the main page, as there isn’t any new content on the blog just yet. It was actually published on April 11th 2010, a few days after the blog went live.
