I used to be a big fan of OODefrag. In fact, their version 10 product is very good.
I can't hide the fact, though, that I am a changed man ever since I tried Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier. Its defragmentation process is really smooth and the background service keeps defragmenting your disks continuously, but only when it detects that your computer is sitting idle (i.e. it doesn't interrupt or slow down your ever-important FSX sessions).
Three thumbs up for Diskeeper 2008!!! You can find it here.

You know you're getting old when...
Three out of seven of your friends who used to work for the ACES studio are no longer there...
Jason - you and I haven't been chatting much (other than in the bus, at DevCon 2005, going to that smelly brewery), but I always respected your artist's view and kept in touch with all you had to say in your blogs. You have a fan whatever you choose to do next! Keep it up!
(Please follow Jason Waskey's work through his blog here - it's really worth it).
Windows Live Messenger status
(Rant Mode On)
What does it mean when I put my Status as "Busy" on Live Messenger?
Is it perhaps an invitation to say "Talk to me, I am idle"?
Is it a sign that says "Taking a break, I prefer to chat about last night's Heroes episode"?
No. It means I am most likely either looking at a customer's problem, or coding like crazy on the next product or infrastructure.
It most certainly also means that I'd prefer not to be bothered, but I am there in case someone needs help that can't otherwise wait, like for example when our product cart server is offline or experiencing issues that require immediate attention.
I'd respectfully request those of you who have me on their Messenger contacts to please use email instead as I can concentrate better on your issue when I focus my attention to it, rather than when you interrupt me.
