My infatuation with Microsoft Windows is documented, and may not have changed much, but I can say I am liking very much so far the flexibility, and slick connectedness of Parallels Desktop for Mac running on my MacBookPro. This morning I gave Bootcamp the boot. Goodbye. Go back to basic training, as the new solider […]
Just to show that any dog can click on random options of a web form: Which Programming Language are You? Yup, the only Java programming I have ever seen is by sheer accident. A fun diversion, and a linktribution to Scott Wilson.
Faux Ocotillo Resurrectedavailable on flickr When I left Maricopa last April, my colleague David Weaver gave me this plant as a stand in for an Ocotillo (a project I supported for like 10 years). I am not a good plant caretaker, and with a little bit of in-attention, this plant lost most its leaves a […]
Yet another instance where an attempt to use the Windows XP operating system has rendered it toast on the bottom side of my MacBookPro. Fortunately, I have a reliable OS on the front side. It’s bad enough that my latest web design effort includes 30% of the time developing and testing in a web standard […]
Remix of original cc-licensed flickr photo by crowulf Alas. my iPod Shuffle is gone, softly in the night. I’d noticed a few weeks ago that it refused to work in my car via my DLO Transpod FM transmitter, just blinked orange. Since it played music via my head phones, I thought it was the transpods […]
Not writing much this week. Looking for nouns. Must find noun…. Just kidding (not that the world would wobble off its axis if I focused on work rather than badly typing about it).

I hate having to log in and log out to do tasks, […]
Note: I guess I was wrong here in my assertions below. Don’t miss Greg’s comment below. Can I still be eligible for the prize drawing? Cue up the guitar riff from Warren Zevon… Somewhere, several places in the world, there are scores of people who’s job it is to scrounge the net for usage of […]
I have a soft sentimental spot for technology thats till works well after a 5+ year lifespan. Since 2003, on this blog, I have made use of Bryan Boyer’s IndyJunior Flash Mapping Module, which parses data from an external XML file to plot geographic locations that this dog travels to or has been before– see […]
This might be Chapter 57 of my tool brigade— I have known peripherally about LibraryThing for a while, and did play a while ago with a pale cousin named Reader2.. but holy #@^@%, Does LibraryThing (hereto-after referred to as LT) rock as a powerful social net app. It starts in email.. someone on the NMC […]
