It’s no secret that I run Linux. More specifically I run Ubuntu 6.10 and use Beryl. I’m quite happy and satisfied with it.
Now since Vista has launched, can somebody point me to a good demo video touting it’s interface features? While you’re at it, please provide a link to a good video demo of the […]
The relatively recent advent of the Snap Preview plugin seems to be annoying just about everyone. Although it does have its defenders.
You can immediately chalk me up as hating them. It’s almost as annoying as those double-underlined thingys that are annoyingly prevalent on some sites (like linuxquestions.org) which pop up adds when you hover on […]
Earl Moore is underwhelmed by the relatively quiet launch of Vista. Actually I haven’t been paying much attention to Vista simply because I’m almost well and truly Linux-ized (is there actually a term for that? - there should be..)
However I did know about it since I caught 5 minutes of CNN this morning where Miles […]
Back from the annual trek down to Myrtle Beach. As you can see from the photo above, we didn’t let the mid-50F weather hinder us too much. It’s going down to a balmy 5F here tonight, so you can see how to us, mid-50’s was A-ok.
It was kinda funny sitting on the beach barefoot, making […]
In the midst of fending off pre-vacation work overload a few bits and bobs have been occupying my spare time. Think of this as my pre-vacation brain dump:
Another call to my ISP confirmed that they had already sent me a replacement DSL modem. It arrived this past Wednesday, was installed that evening and seems to […]
Is there such a thing as pre vacation stress disorder ? (No doubt there is.) Why is it that so many clients somehow sense that I’m about to go away for a week and decide on Wednesday to ask for meetings and drawings to be ready for Friday? E.S.P? Bahh.
Half a day at work tomorrow […]
Reading through Hugh McLeod’s random notes on blogging, I realized he had both missed something and illustrated something at the same time. Blogging with humility *and* blogging with authority are not mutually exclusive.
Humility builds respect and adds to your authority, arrogance and snarky-ness take away from it.
Hugh’s list reads very snarky to me. Almost snarky […]
I think you probably have to be from a specific generation to even get this, nevermind find it funny (which I did):
With Christmas, Little One’s birthday, New Years and Evelyn’s 100th birthday, it feels like the holiday that will never end! Tomorrow is Em’s birthday party with her classmates and friends. So maybe, just maybe, I’ll find more time to put towards this blogging endeavour once again.
In the meantime, a couple of Inkscape related things…
The About […]
I’ve been having intermittent problems with my DSL service over the past couple of months. After behaving itself through most of December, it seems to have reared it’s ugly head again in the past couple of weeks. I won’t go very far into it except to say that it sometimes drops the connection and resyncs […]
