Coffee notes

Here’s the cool thing about Angela getting a Mac. She’s paying for the machine, and I’m getting the opportunity to add to my own tech knowledge by having access to a Mac for next to nothing. I’ve added the Apple Core to my list of Lockergnome subscriptions and added a copy of Troubleshooting, Maintaining, and Repairing Macs to my bookshelf at home for the low, low price of $6. (Big clearance sale at Microcenter, and Angela was nice enough to buy it for me, since it’ll be for her machine!) So I’m getting a Mac education right along with her, not too shabby!

Want to see A-list bloggers act like six-year olds? Yeah, I guess arguing about the technology and who came up with what idea first and who’s not getting enough credit is going to make people take the medium seriously, isn’t it? Because we all know it’s not the writing that makes a good weblog, it’s the technology, right? There certainly can’t be people who just write good, informative pages regardless of the tools they use, because the tools are the thing, aren’t they? Bleech! (link found through Corante)

Later.. I’m still awaiting word from the person who made a purchase at the Life of a One-Man IT Department Store. I’m curious as to his/her opinion of the product quality. I hope it was ok!

    Yeah I had to take the referrer script down again. At least now I know why the results keep stretching the table width to ridiculous proportions. If a website does not specify a page name, the script prints out the entire URL. Since there’s no space in the URL the table doesn’t try to wrap…

    The in-laws have departed, and, hopefully, I can get to work on that laptop software tonight. Seeing as how my wife and I just napped for a good 3 hours, I should have plenty of energy to work on that, eh? There’s nothing better than Sunday afternoon naps, can I just say that? While they…

    Be sure to read this article about PocketPC 2003 (aka Windows Mobile 2003) on a Dell Axim in it’s entirety. Dell is apparently offering upgrade CD’s to current Axim owners for $29. This article looks to have all the details on whether it’s worth the upgrade or not, but it’s long! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

  • On the road again..

    Got the AV definitons rolled back on my machine and the AV working again. The Live Update reports no new updates are available, which makes me think that either the update file that I grabbed yesterday is bad, or is incompatible with our older version of the software. Oh well, it’s probably about time we…

  • Movie time

    Angela and I capped off her birthday weekend with a trip to the movies today. Queen of the Damned was the choice for today, and let me tell you, it was not a good one. First off, let me say this, Aaliyah as Akasha and Stuart Townsend as Lestat were very good. Much better than…
