Boy do I want this

For the geeky Mac folks

For the geeky Mac folks out there, YellowDog Linux 2.2 is now available for download on their FTP site. Since I love this product, I would suggest you do what I do (because, of course, I know what’s best): Try it first, then buy it. They’re a great company to support, and everyone I’ve ever […]

Get In Line

I’m a nice guy. I really am. I like helping people. I like answering questions. But, I have my limits. Every day, many times a day, I get questions from people about various topics: AOLserver, Linux, Tcl, HTML, CSS, SQL, etc. People love to instant message me while I’m working on something with queries on […]

Six Different Ways To Ask A Question

Thanks to Charles from Six Different Ways for this round of Blogger Insider questions. Excellent job, and I hope he enjoys the questions I sent as much I enjoyed these.

If you don’t know what it is, Mozilla is an open-source web browser that supports open web standards, runs well and has some very cool features that set it apart from the […]

Mike is my old boss.

Do you read PhotoDude? He’s

Do you read PhotoDude? He’s a photographer down in Atlanta, and since September, has been writing what he calls his “War Blog”. I visited his site before September for his beautiful photography. Now the photos don’t get updated as often, but the opinions flow like water. His frequent collections of quotes are especially worth reading […]

The Demise of an Online Presence

I’ve been thinking a lot about Elise since she turned off her sites (opinebovine.com and elisetomek.com). I don’t know why she did. I didn’t get a special e-mail just for me explaining why she did. Why would I? I’m just a reader who sent her a couple e-mails telling her how much I enjoyed her […]
