It surprises me when sites make it difficult, if not almost impossible, just to directly download the mp3 of a podcast. Hasn’t everyone received the memo yet??
When I went looking for this podcast interview with Sir Ken Robinson, I found it here in Episode 88 of the MediaSnackers podcast. There’s a nice shiny Odeo player […]
Okay. I am thoroughly perplexed now.
Opening up Flock tonight, something seemed a little strange. The fonts in my Gmail and GReader appeared thinner and lighter than I’m used to. This suprised me enough that I had to double-check that I hadn’t launched Firefox instead (it is late y’know).
Lo and behold the fonts in Flock are […]
I like Gnumeric, the no-nonsense Gnome.org spreadsheet project. I choose to use it because it feels lighter weight than Openoffice Calc, and it runs well on both Linux and XP. In fact, I recently recommended it to a spreadsheet novice friend of mine, explaining that for what he was doing, there was absolutely no reason […]
I woke up today somewhat disappointed.
My back doesn’t hurt, my joints don’t ache, I don’t own a hairpiece and I’m not particularly grumpy about anything.
I’m now 40. Is there some rite of passage before I can experience the pleasures of entering my fifth decade on the planet?
I have started going grey (over the past 3 […]
I’ve just uploaded Episode 054. This must be a record for me, because normally I’ve been a month between screencasts. Must be getting bored in my old age. More on that tomorrow.
Every once in a while (translation: too often) I find out something useful about an application that I’ve been using almost daily for a long long time. Usually that means AutoCAD, but in this case it’s Google Reader. I never knew that clicking those double arrow marks at the right end of the post titles […]
I noticed that Firefox3 Beta 3 was out a day or two ago. I was eager to try it out since one of the features mentioned was improved font rendering in Linux. It’s always been surprising to me that font rendering differs between Firefox and Flock since they’re both based on the same engine (I […]
Perhaps this is old, and maybe everyone’s seen this one before, but I thought it was funny. The part about Mother-in-Law 1.0 made me almost snort out my coffee…
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0
and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system
performance — particularly in the flower and jewelry
applications, […]
Pluto aligned with Mars this weekend and I actually managed to create and post a new Inkscape screencast. This one demonstrates how to simply and quickly illustrate a keypad (numeric or otherwise).
No I’m not selling snake-oil or malware..
I’ve never been a big fan of screensavers. In fact, I don’t think I ever used them in Ubuntu and I’ve been running it for 2+ years now. But for some strange reason I decided to check them out last night on my Linux box here at home. A […]
