Please Note: My personal journal is now fully independent of my main personal Web site, but I am still working on some things such as my new page designs and many improvements to PageDrive, my software that runs my journal site. If you encounter any technical problems, please either just try again a while later or let me know.
My misbehaving Windows Vista system seems to have had enough of all of the crashing; it is no longer freezing or crashing to a Blue Screen of Death with "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" or "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" messages. At least, it has gone quite a long time without doing so, not crashing once since I reverted a recent hardware change this afternoon.
The computer's main memory seemed an unlikely culprit for its recent troubles since the system seemed to work fine for about a week with that same memory and my Ubuntu system worked fine with it for months before that, but after removing the newer, faster memory and reinstalling the system's original memory, it seems as stable as ever. I am not sure if there is a problem with the memory itself (while it was installed, it passed the POST memory test) or if there could be some kind of incompatibility that I did not immediately notice, possibly because it was not initially present, but I plan to return the newly loose memory to my Ubuntu system to see what I can learn.
I still hate Windows.
