Granted, I am not so keen on TV series and movies, I am more the compute guy. However, there was that one TV series I used to love when I was a small little something. I remember being so fascinated about this awesome series!

I couldn’t remember its name, eventhough I kept thinking about it for years but recalling it was impossible – Recently however I have been bored on an amazing level and suddenly I managed its name – BUGS!

In the moment, I wanted to check whether it’s available on DVD. Hmm, not over here I saw but as UK import. While checking them out, I noticed that I must have missed some of them. Checking Wikipedia and other sources, I had to learn that the popularity dropped over the 4th series and maybe this was the case over here, too.

This was the moment in which I decided to ask exactly that.

Somehow I got the imagination it was VOX which aired it at first.

Accidently I cliked on “Imprint” rather than on Contact and so I was lead to here and so I have contacted them instead.

The replied pretty quick to me that it was aired on Pro7 and RTL2 instead.

In the meantime I saw a thread in the the IMDb Bugs forum called I Met Craig in which a fan writes that he mad Craig McLachlan who plaid “Ed” in the series who said there might come a 5th series somewhen.

BBC UK wrote to me that they have no further info on plans to continue the series

Carnival Films replied to me that they have currently no plans to continue the series.

In the meantime, Pro7 replied to me that they had aired all 4 series including all 10 episodes and they assume that the episodes I have missed belong to the 5th series that never has been aired however. A reply from my side asking for further information resulted into Pro7 saying they have no further info but will forward the request to get their hands on the 5th series and air it.

Armed with that information, I replied to BBC UK and Carnival Films being interested in their reaction. Their reaction was that they cannot confirm or deny and they stressed the fact, that there is no mention about a 5th series on the Official Bugs homepage.

However this could be because the company responsible for the homepage is no longer in business.

Bugs info links:

-Bugs at Wikipedia
-Official Bugs homepage.
-Bugs info page including video clips at Carnival Films’ production overview
-Bugs fan site with a lot of pics – even of 4ths series.
-Last episode info and more at Bugs’ section at TV.com

Because the Nabaztag makes problems when setting up the first time in Windows Vista, they soon release a video tutorial.

Here a snippet out of 2 emails from them I received:

“Nabaztag/tag is not a software. We use wifi protocol. Vista (all version) is
as stable as we wanted to. Windows XP manage as well wireless Networks than Vista.

In all case Vista users must diagnose “Nabaztag wireless connection” even if
Vista shows that computer is connected with Nabaztag, and obtain a new IP
address because Vista doesn’t solve it itself.

We ask Microsoft support and response from Microsoft is “it works for us” with out any explanations. So we buy a computer with Vista and see what happens.

Finally, Microsoft as launch a feedback form in order to have the best
customer feedback. Wifi connection, in my mind must be the same on XP and
Vista.

Regards,

Fabrice
The Nabaztag Infirmary”

“We realised a flash demo (sorry in French) for our help site. This video shows
how to connect a nabaztag/tag with Windows vista. It will be available soon.

Regards,

Fabrice
The Nabaztag Infirmary”

As I do not know French myself I cannot provide a link either. If any of you can, let me know, thanks

After ages, I have finally moved my Flickr account to Yahoo, which doesn’t make a difference at all, they both don’t have a good customer support at all!

Above you can see how this looks.

After installing the latest release of Logitech’s SetPoint drivers/application, I received the above message after booking Vista X64 next day. I wonder what this is about especially since it has no pics I could click and it doesn’t tell me exactly what is missing.

I own the MX1000 Cordless Laser Mouse.

After SkypeIn for the Dominican Republic, they have added now 3 more countries: Chile, New Zealand and Romania.

Villu Arak writes furthermore:

“SkypeIn numbers are now available in 18 countries. Here’s a quick refresher: When you have a SkypeIn number, your friends who don’t have Skype can call a regular phone number. And you will receive the call on your computer or any other piece of gear that runs Skype.“

Real and free Vista X64 firewalls are rare, the more I am happy to write about the first real full freeware firewall for Windows Vista X64 firewall I know of. The firewall is still yet an alpha release and I have read the forum and some even had to reinstall Vista after using the firewall. If you are brave to try, more info plus screenshots and download link can be found here.

I personally will wait till the final is out and still with the free Vista Firewall Control for the time being.

What to do if you have a 64bit CPU and haven’t got your hands (unlike me) on Windows XP X64 but you want to update it to Windows Vista X64 anyway?

Well, worry not, because it’s really indeed possible!
I have found the manual of how to do it at this place.

Netscape 9.0b1 is out and they luckily fixed the bug of the erlier versions that destroyed you Vista (X64 in my case) firewall control!

Netscape 9 is a lot faster and lighter than the earlier Netscape versions and performances so a lot better. It’s also the first being called “Navigator” again and the first to even support Firefox plugins!

It also allows to share sites with a friend on one click! And it is available for Linux and Mac at all, not only Windows like for the previous versions.

The ICQ Team has recently posted a German ICQ 6 Q&A in their ICQ 6 Blog. It can be guessed, that those Q&A are a collection of questions asked in German language by Germans in the ICQ 6 Forum.

The Q&A is quite broken at places which proves again, that none of them is a native German speaker.

They forgot to mention that the ICQ6 version with ability to convert the load of history from icq 5.1 that wasn’t because of migration bug of first ICQ 6 final.
