I’m probably the last person to hear or see this but, I’ve just discovered a great site call Bloglines. Basically, it acts as an RSS/Atom/XML/Blog aggegator. If you’re not familiar with those terms, the lay man explanation follows. Many, many sites syndicate their content via a format known as RSS (which I believe stands for [...]
I am continually amazed at how I keep finding new uses for my lovely 4th gen. 20GB iPod. It truly is worth every penny (funny considering mine was given to me gratis). If you don’t have one, get one as soon as you can. A great resource for all things iPod is iPod Lounge. To [...]
It’s always interesting to see what motivates people. Sometimes it’s not what you would expect. I really enjoy Skype the more I use it. I can say the same for Firefox. I can’t say the same for the Windows operating system. Don’t purchase a plasma display of any kind for any reason. I don’t care [...]
Occasionally, I will write about specific programs that have a real impact on the way I communicate, work, etc. One such creation is Skype. Think of Skype as a mix of your favorite instant messaging program and your phone. Skype-written by the same people that brought you the Kazaa file sharing program-uses P2P technology to [...]
Let me start by saying I love my Suse 9.2 box. It has done everything I’ve asked for and more. My only gripe is gaming. It’s been discussed a million times before. All I will say is this: the average person can’t (and shouldn’t have to) recompile a kernel to get a gaming environment to [...]
I’ve mentioned that I use Linux and OS X at home and Windows XP at work. I am amazed at the mediocrity that most people will settle for, and, in some cases, even prefer. Being a start-up, we don’t really have the budget for an IT department, per-se. Because of my background, I am the [...]
I have been a Mac user for a couple of years now. I also use Windows at work, and recently installed Linux on my spare PC at home. I have been struggling for some time with figuring out a way to sync all of my calendars from iCal (Mac) and Sunbird (Windows and Linux). Mozilla’s [...]
This is probably the first time since I started paying serious attention to sports (circa 1993) that I’ve not watched the entire Super Bowl. I felt compelled to catch up on sleep. I caught the last 3 minutes of the game, however. It’s funny, but it seems like the older I get the less I [...]
I recently acquired an old AMD Duron based PC and thought I’d give Linux a try. I’m a Mac OS X user and I’ve used RedHat 4 or 5 years ago. I thought I’d go with SUSE this time. I downloaded their “Network Install” boot disc and away I went. Installation was fairly straight forward. [...]
My first real attempt at blogging. I figured everyone was doing it, so I might as well. Probably won’t post often, but when I do it’ll be worth it. I may even post later on tonight about my experiences installing SUSE Linux (Yay!). Does anyone really read these anyway?
