Global Orgasm Day

Today 22nd December 2006 is The Global Orgasm Day because Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell said so. So what and why is this good?
The idea has come from the idea that a positive human consciousness can affect the energy field of the earth and make the world a more peaceful place.
So they want everyone especially people in war zones to have sex and achieve an orgasm on a specific moment today. For more info on this event go to their website.

Fixing the Windows Media Player green screen problem

A couple of months ago I decided to take the new Windows Media Player v.11 for a spin. I was curious to see what new features it had. I started liking what I saw, atleast for Microsoft as being a copycat company it was oke.

After a while testing I soon noticed that Microsoft doesn't only copy style and function, but also the bugs. I started getting green screens and crashes while watching Windows Media Videos. It seemed like my old friend came back to bug my PC experience, so I decided to do a little research on the internet to find a cure for this bug. I soon found that it can be fixed by turning on the Overlays.

This can be done the following way:

In Window Media Player you go to >> tools>options>performance tab>advance>check "Use Overlays"

I also found a post by someone telling that he fixed it the other way around:

He did it like this >> tools>options>performance tab>advance>check "Use high Quality Mode"

I hope this will help you people who are also having this problem and gets you back to enjoying your PC.

Fixing the Quicktime green screen problem

Ever since I installed the MS Windows Service Pack 2 I have been irritated by a green filling viewport screen after started up a Quicktime movie. Yesterday I decided to do some desk reasearch to adress the problem and find a solution. After 5 minutes searching the the web I finally bumped into a solution.
The problem is caused, because Quicktime uses the DirectDraw accelerartion by default, but it doesn't use overlay. So that's the reason why the viewport fills with green.
You can fix this by turning of the DirectDraw in Quicktime preferences.
You can do this by launching Quicktime and going to:

Edit>Quicktime Preferences>Advanced>And under the category Video you 'll have to switch Safe mode (GDI only) radiobutton.

This should fix the problem.

If you find that the sound has gone jittering you should do the following:

Edit>Quicktime Preferences>Audio>Select the Safe mode (WaveOut only checkbox).

I hope this will solve you Quicktime green screen problem, so you can just go on and enjoy your webclips.
