Interesting usefulness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last night I found some interesting useful things to do with my Pocket PC. Sleeping at the in-laws, I used a CF card full off MP3’s and my stereo headphones to fall asleep to music without bothering my wife, or having to lug around any extra cd player or cd’s. Then, when I woke up in the middle of the night, the Pocket PC was still running right there on the night stand, so just a tap on the screen later I had enough light to see my way around the room, and I could get a peek at the time. Of course this assumes you have it plugged into a wall outlet and set to not shut off when connected to power this way, but it was kinda nice.

Angela, on the other hand, called it the most expensive night-light in the world. She just doesn’t get it. *L*

A milestone

We’ve reached a milestone on this little blog. According to my copy of Table Editor, Eric Maynard left the 1000th comment on this blog earlier this evening. I am simply amazed.

Hard to believe another year has passed. So many things have changed that it’s hard to imagine what I was doing last year at this time was only a year ago, but at the same time, it’s also hard to believe this is the 5th new year I’ve welcomed in with my wife since our…

Why user’s lie

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I think Andy’s comment on that last post hints at some of why user’s lie. He says: but then a reboot WILL cure a lot of problems but doesn’t actually fix the problem as to WHY it happens. I think a large part of why user’s lie is tied into their expectations. When you work…
