Saturday ramblings

Darran Evans was kind enough to take a moment and tell me about a site he works on called Help With PC’s. Looks like a pretty useful site, I added it to the permanent list of PC help resources. It reminded me that there a lot of clean up that needs to go on with those pages. Add it to the list!

While out running around, after my haircut, I picked up the latest Midnight Oil cd. I learned earlier in the week about it, and their impending US tour this spring. Ticketmaster lists them as being at Bogart’s in Cincinnati May 21. I’m planning on making that trip. I’ve been a fan since 1983, and though they’ve had little recent US sucess, I know they are still one the biggest bands in Australia. They are amazing live, as well. (And yes, part of me hated giving the record company any money, but at least I made sure it wasn’t one of those damn copy-protected cd’s!)

Jevon, in response to your post, you are free to disagree. That’s cool. I can’t go into a lot of detail about the reasoning that is actually going on behind the scenes, but I wanted to walk away so that I don’t become the issue, getting things fixed becomes the issue. I don’t have a big enough ego to want to make it about myself and my site when it’s about their customers getting their service back.

Speaking of Jevon, he’s opened up Blogtrack 2.0 beta to everyone who has a current Blogtrack account. I’ve been beta-testing for him and, while it won’t blow you away, I don’t think, it’s definitely got some nice little features that will have you saying “Oh yeah that is a good idea” as you get into it.

Is it just me, or are entirely too many people spending entirely too much time obsessing about Chris Pirillo’s life, wife and business? Get a hobby, go outside, read a book, listen to some good music, move on already! I can hardly stand to read Chris or Gretchen’s blog’s anymore!

    Saw this over at Mike Sanders blog today: “Three observations after reading current blog entries: 1) The logic and intelligence a person has in one area does not usually transfer to other domains. 2) Personal bias, not intellect or logic, is the number one determinant on the conclusion a person will reach. 3) Blogging is…

    Looks like Jevon is back among the bloggers again. Nice to see him back! He’s got a post about Real-time blogging and outlining that’s interesting. (permalinks, Jevon?

    William left a comment to the effect that the version of Red Hat I was trying to install uses LILO and that might be the thing that’s interfering with the NT-based install.

    I mean I knew that you could use Bloglines as a way to subscribe to feeds without downloading any software, and a way to check them from anywhere. But what I didn’t know is that you can browse around their site and look at what other people are subscribed to. I think I’m going to…
