Patch Tuesday
I just wanted to mention something that a lot of people don’t know about, Patch Tuesday. That would be that scheduled Microsoft patched are sent out the second Tuesday of every month. The only exception is that critical patches become available as soon as possible.
Why does this matter? Well if you don’t want to run automatic updates you can make a note of the second Tuesday of every and just run Windows Update then instead of always having a background process.

Star Wars: The Old Republic – First Gameplay Videos
This came out about 5 days ago but it was nowhere to be found on my RSS feeds: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/816/816935/vids_1.html
Looks wonderful, I can’t wait until this comes out. Finally an MMO where taking on more than one NPC is normal and won’t get your ass handed to you.
