My girlfriend bought me a battery-powered desk waterfall with LED lights from Wal-Mart. It has a port for a 5V AC power adapter. So with all the old AC adaptors laying around the house and an extra USB wire (included with my DSL modem), I cut, connected, and duct-taped the wires. Then, plugged in the waterfall and I now have a USB powered waterfall on my desk. You can get the "LED illuminated rainfall fountain" from Wal-Mart for about $10.

I recently re-installed Windows Server 2003 EE (used as my workstation/developments) and then installed the rest of my software including Visual Studio 2005. After the installs and tweeks, I fired up VS2005 and started working on Glacsy.com. The next day I fired up VS2005 again and noticed there's no MRU's. So off I go to find a solution - Google... For days I searched for the answer then found http://geekswithblogs.net/glozano/archive/2006/11/13/96939.aspx by Gabriel Lozano-Morán. So I figured WinServer2003 disables MRUs by default, then enabled and now my system is near - perfect...
