I love OS X. I just installed Jaguar, and I was desperately hoping they would provide a utility to switch the mouse buttons. You see, I’m left-handed. I use the mouse with my left hand. In Windows (which I’m trying to wean myself off of) and Linux, I can easily flip the mouse buttons so […]
It’s articles like these that make me think. You know, I love Linux. I also love OS X and have no real hatred for Windows (I do have real hatred for Microsoft). The point of the editorial is basically to watch out for Linux on the desktop. Ummm, duh. Just the other day at Lowe’s […]
You know what I love ZDNet’s TalkBack feature? It doesn’t matter what the article, the rhetoric is the same. Every single article seems to break down into the same argument. I just couldn’t resist this one though: News: Xbox goes online… with Linux
I posted yesterday about VirtualPC and how slow it was. It’s still slow, but not a complete loss. I was playing around yesterday, trying to get RedHat installed on a new virtual drive. It was taking FOREVER, so I put the machine to sleep in the middle of the install. I came in this morning, […]
I’ve always loved the idea of VirtualPC. But, in practice, it doesn’t quite live up to the hype. I got work to pony up for VirtualPC 5 w/ Windows 98 (which was waiting for me when I got back). It’s all installed on my lovely Powerbook. The problem is it’s dog slow. This was my […]
In a different life, I worked in Tech Support. My friends set up a site called Tech Hell where we all posted sad and depraved stories of calls we had to answer. Some of them have been published in a book called Techmares. One of my stories (maybe more than one) is featured in Chapter […]
If you blog, check out BlogTree (my branch). I’m not usually into memes, but I think this one could be really interesting, not only in giving credit to those who inspired us to get started, but in seeing the growth of the blog community and a timeline. Go check it out.
If someone really had it together, I mean if someone really had it together, they’d build a message board module for Movable Type. Then, Movable Type would be pretty much the perfect Intranet system. Everyone in the group could have a blog, and you could create message boards where everyone could collaborate, ask questions, etc. […]
So, my favorite thing about Movable Type so far is the modules. My whole pages are modular, and I love it. I can change one file and rebuild, and it changes everywhere. You wanna see? Here’s my homepage template: <$MTInclude module="pageHeader"$> <$MTInclude module="menuHeader"$> <$MTInclude module="menuLastTenOffset"$> <$MTInclude module="menuLinks"$> <$MTInclude module="menuFooter"$> <$MTInclude module="blogHeader"$> <!– start entries –> […]
