Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
**Quick Update:** A couple of people mentioned there’s no Mozilla items in here. They’re right, and it’s primarily because the original audience of this type of thing wasn’t Mozilla. I’ll make sure I add them where relevant, moving forward. Every week I put together a bunch of news items I think are interesting to the […]
No one will really care about this but me, but that’s ok, I need to get in the habit of using this thing again. The dedicated server that’s continued on something like 14 years of hosting for friends and family is entering it’s final days. I’ve been moving sites over, and am hoping coop is […]
deadsquid.com turns 14 this month, and there are some changes afoot. I’ve been running a bunch of ISP-ish services – everything from dialup access to mail and web hosting – since 1995, and am tired of it. I like having my own server to do my own thing, and have been happy to help friends […]
Mozilla Firefox has had a search bar since its initial release, and has helped to change the way our users look up information by giving them a single interface to a variety of search services. It’s also had search services in the location bar, but they’re not as accessible or (arguably) useful as what’s offered […]
I have a new PT-AE3000 projector from Panasonic, and to date I have loved everything about it except for a few games (most notably rock band 2) using the Xbox 360 with a progressive signal. The video (but not the audio) would stutter/jump at times, which could throw my timing off. It wasn’t a huge […]
Just a really quick hit, because it took me a little while to find this post, which pointed me in the right direction. If you’re trying to use the PowerLinc 2412U on OSX 10.5 with the latest beta (4.1) of the Indigo home-automation and control server, you’ll need to install USB serial drivers first. It […]
I run Winbloze. I know, I know, but I have had a much better experience with Windows environments on my desktop than I have had with my Ti or my MBP. Windows comes with risks, so to help mitigate (again, I know, I know) those risks I use Norton Internet Security. My subscription ran out […]
Ugh. No matter how much I try and cover all the bases, some little thing always turns what should be a 2-3 hour transition period into a 12 hour ordeal. Everything went pretty smoothly until final testing on re-training false positives with dspam. I had tested it with the existing quarantine, which was created under […]
so. my poor little ipod has been sitting in my desk drawer for a year and a half because I thought it was borken. what with all the clicking-hard-drive sounds it made when you tried to turn it on, this was understandable. this weekend I went through my office on a purge mission, and said […]
Adobe’s new photographic workflow product, Lightroom, is now available for download as a beta. If you take pictures for a living, or are a pretender like me, have a look-see. Also, might I stress that it’s beta? That means don’t use your only copy of an image with it.
