I could have sworn I had one of these for vista, but alas, it must have been deleted somewhere.

So I think I will write down my first impressions on 7, and when I actually start using it will compare on how far that went.

Firstly, I think this is the OS that windows Vista SHOULD have been, the beta version worked incredibly well. I love the new task bar icon doc thing. All I ever look at are the little icons anway, so collapsing everything into little squares with a picture works really well for me.

I made a mini city which is kinda a neat concept... I have to get people to actually VISIT it to make it better though, so I'm not sure how cool that is. Oh well, I'll see how it goes.

1. Define a function to make a Palindrome of even length from a list by repeating the reversed list, i.e., if list = (a b c) then the function should return (a b c c b a)

2. Suppose you want to make a palindrome from a list = (x1 x2 … xn) that is an odd length and does not repeat xn, i.e. from the list (a b c) we want to make (a b c b a). Define a function to do this.

I created a new site about me! x-opher.info this site is mainly an attack on this guy since he took the domain I wanted :(

Right now I'm doing the site in Joomla, which is working out OK I suppose, still needs alot of work to look like what I want it to.

So I get a letter from my credit card company today, with a check for 5 whole dollars!!! SCORE! But wait, whats that tiny little lettering at the bottom...cashing this check will enroll me in some kinda elite program...hrm.

Lets see what this elite program is all about. Oh, apparently I can get up to 100$ cash back a year if I spend 10,000$. Sounds good so far, but wait, I'm only half done with the letter. Lets see... enrolling in this program will instantly cost me 119$ charged right to my card...WTF! So, even if I get all 100$ they promise me, cash the 5$ check, I'm still out 4$.
