Chrome is losing it’s shine

September 18, 2008 – 11:55 am

I’ve been using Chrom at work since it came out a few weeks ago (not using it at home because there isn’t an official Mac version yet)  While I’m pretty happy with the overall features and feel of Chrome, it’s alpha software quirks are bad enough that I’ve went mostly back to FF3 for now.
I’ve [...]

RSS Bankruptcy

September 7, 2008 – 6:27 am

The good thing about RSS readers like Google Reader is that you can ‘follow’ dozens and dozens of sites, without actually visiting each and every site.
The bad thing is unless you REALLY stay on top of all of your feeds, you can find yourself with ~5000 unread posts.
Think it’s time to skim the feeds for [...]

But, people are starting to get a [...]

Wordpress just released an iPhone client today, and this is the test post. So far, it looks like it’s going to be just what I need.

Since the XBox has pooped the bed, and we’ve been burning DVD’s like the amish do, I decided to fix the problem.  I had been thinking about replacing me Mac Mini with a MacBook, and using the Mini as a media center, but that solution wasn’t in the near future fiscally.
So, last Friday, I checked [...]

Argh Annoyances!

June 5, 2008 – 7:25 pm

It’s always pissed me off on the Mac in Firefox that the tab key will skip radio boxes. Tonight, I finally did some searching, and found the solution in about 3 minutes
I have NO idea why it took me so long to finally look that up and fix it. I’ve probably wasted more [...]

What are you doing?

May 15, 2008 – 11:01 am

Having used Twitter for a few weeks now, I see the need for an alternate to it.
Going to start a service called whiner.com. Same format, but it’s for people who just use twitter to bitch and whine all day.
I want to know what you’re doing, or what you find that is cool or interesting. [...]
