My birthday was quiet a while ago, I haven't been in Rostock at that day, therefore did not give a party or celebrate in any other way in the town where I study. I did not invite any friends, not even after studies started with summersemester. Because of all that I did not expect to get a present from my friends at all. Last Thursday, I stood at the steps of the biochemistry building, as suddenly there is a Happy-Birthday-chorus right behind me. I turn around and do not really realize that this is for me, until I'm getting a wrapped up present from my friends.

I had no idea what to say, so I just opened it up and fell silent for a minute or so, mouth gaping open. 16 of my friends together got me one of the newest high technology graphic tablets that is available just NOW after the Cebit. In combination with Windows Vista (above Home Premium) it recognizes my handwriting and transforms it into typed text. Also its far easier to precisely work at photographs with Photoshop CS3, using the pen and the board. It just awesome, I can't really express how happy I am about that.

But as always, getting some new technology means trouble with the computer. First I had to upgrade my system to Windows Vista, because Win XP wouldn't support all these nice features of the board. Luckily my brother gets Vista legally for free, so I installed that. My computer isn't really up-to-date anymore but lucky me, Vista runs without bigger problems. So the main reason to install Vista works out, the board works perfectly!

Annoying, though, is that Vista doesn't support a row of programs and features that I have been used to. If anyone else here is using Skype by bluetooth-headset... this is not possible under Vista anymore. Microsoft stripped it of the ability to connect a bluetooth headset. Installing the "old" Widcomm driver won't work and installing the updated Widcomm driver won't even install...

So after hours of looking around for a solution on the internet I finally found something great, which I'd like to share: A Widcomm Bluetooth Hack for Windows Vista. I used it and everything works fine now, I can finally use my BT headset again. For those who don't know: Widcomm is a pretty advanced driver for Windows which gives it the ability to connect to any bluetooth device around.

So now, after installing and using the graphic tablet more regulary, I'll soon try out the buildt-in voice command tool of Windows Vista... future, here I come!

I just skipped the physiology class, I'll have to leave for biochemistry now.
