What is Adobe thinking not supporting new computers?

October 26, 2008

I just bought my new computer, an HP m9350f, a month ago and installed Firefox and Opera as part of my first day setup. I have a Netflix subscription that I use primarily to watch streaming movies, usually on my computer in the living room, not the one in my bedroom. Netflix only streams with [...]

Multiple local websites with Apache in Windows

August 25, 2007

Recently I’ve been working on 3 or 4 projects at the same time on my desktop.

July 13, 2007

Exposé is an OS X feature that lets you see all open windows on screen at once, then quickly bring the one you need forward.

March 24, 2007

I just finished reading Windows Vista: more than just a pretty face, the first part of ars technica’s Vista review. It’s a very interesting article if you’re curious about why Vista really took so long to complete and what it offers beyond semi-transparent window borders.

Windows Vista Installation Sucks

February 3, 2007

I like Windows Vista. A lot. I’ve been running it full time on multiple computers since September. But the installation process sucks. I’ve done it 7 or 8 times now, and it only just worked once. That was the first time I installed it on my Averatec laptop as an upgrade from Win XP to [...]

The StumbleUpon Experiment

January 4, 2007

Do people “stumbling” across the net have their wallets open while doing so? Will they stop when they see a commercial site or keep on “stumbling” by? That was today’s quick experiment: advertising through StumbleUpon.

PHP Development Environment

December 20, 2006

There have been four phases to the evolution of my PHP development environment. First, I used notepad, FTP and a shared hosting account. WS_FTP to be exact, made by IPSwitch which once sent me a free t-shirt for sending in a testimonial for their website.
Once I took on a job working on a PHP application [...]
