Installer, Know Thyself?
Sigh. Maybe it is multiple personalty disorder given its Adoption of Macromedia, but my Adobe PhotoShop CS2 Updater does not allow me to choose itself, so it can update itself? Weird. Abort. Retry. Fail?

Knock Knock Flickr
For anyone besides me keeping count on my sags of Flickr slapping me NIPSA, it has been 11 days since I emailed flickr, and more than 21 days since the last previous attempt. I have received a lot of interesting commentary, and support from the bone I had to pick with flickr about a new […]

U-R-O-K
I am astounded people take my blog as marginally credible, or more so that they read it, so it takes me back when people attach some importance or meaning to what is really my own meandering streams of thoughts and complaints (or more properly termed as my Kiwi friends say, “whinges“). So yes, back in […]

Alexander’s Law of Hotel Internet Connectivity
I recall a conversation with Bryan Alexander who relayed his travel experience in the form of an inverse law- the higher the cost and luxury status of a hotel, the worse your internet connectivity will be– the best free wireless is found in an obscure Motel 8 in rural Pennsylvania. This has certainly proven true […]

One Last Bark at Flickr
I have received a lot of interesting commentary, and support from the bone I had to pick with flickr about a new pro account being designated not public due to the imagery being all snapshots taken in Second Life. The response I did not get, sadly, was from Ana at case88575@support.flickr.com whom I had last […]

Comment spammers are using Feedburner to insert into the URl field things like http://feeds.feedburner.com/BuyHotPokerPillsPorn — all in the hope of hoisting some pages somewhere on the […]

Caught Redhanded
Gulp. After telling everyone today about the virtues of using flickr creative commons images, I got caught. I my haste last night to find a banner image for our keynote tag cloud page, I located a nice San Francisco Peaks profile via a creative commons search in Flickrlilli. I did not even register that the […]

I Have a Bone To Pick With Flickr
I have oft professed my deep love for flickr. I have been a user of it since March 2004, when it had that hokey black flash interface. I have uploaded almost 1400 photos, not nearly prolific as some. But recently I was slapped by one of their policies regarding a new way I was using […]

Windoze Ate My Saturday
I am already 3 hours deep of my weekend time trying to resurrect Windoze XP (Xtra Polluted) from its now threatened partition on my MacBookPro. This began with login errors like “winlogin.exe- unable to locate component– failed to start because ole32.dll was not found” Well that is utterly useful information and gives me a clear […]

First (not Last) BSOD
It was bound to happen, the first Blue Screen Of Death on the Bootcamped XP side of my MacBookPro (wow, I might order the T-shirt). I was trying to install Skype– well it did install, but running it brought me BSOD. The first time, on reboot, XP did its repair job; the second time it […]
