Smooth Computer Reformat

This article is thanks to LifeHacker.
Whenever I reformat a computer, the one thing that I do (but really don’t like) is make sure that I have all of my device drivers backed so that after I reinstall Windows, all I have to do is install the drivers one by one.
With DriverMax, it promises to make this task a lot easier. Just export the drivers, reinstall Windows, and import the drivers to the new system. I hope that this program makes this task smoother. I plan to use it soon so I’ll keep you posted!

AdWords is Broken

I went to AdWords to check up on a few campaigns and got this nastyness:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, services-admin@google.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


Looks like some server is being a bad boy!
