I think it might be finally time to upgrade my windows box. Its main uses for me are a) Photoshop and image editing/cataloging/organizing and b) gaming, gaming and more gaming. Oh, and it runs my accounting software. Of those three applications, two of them are hardware intensive. I realized today that my current hardware is […]
Today at work we finished a project we’ve been working for for a couple of weeks by sucessfully using it on actual real clients. Not sure how secret it’s supposed to be, but basically it’s a system we built for a client that’s very similar to what you get when you use internet in a

Been reading the Dilbert Blog lately and aside from Scott Adams’ financial advice, I’m glad that when boarding an aircraft I’m not the only one with technology lust: As I stood at the open doorway to the Valhalla of unnecessary controls, I began panting with unbridled, genetically induced technology lust. I wanted to drag the

Thinking about hardware upgrades, I’m wondering if I’m wrong at looking at the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 DualCore 2.40GHz based on this review over at TechReport. I’ve been thinking of hardware upgrades since putting new RAM in my machine, and even though anything is a bit away, I’ve been out of the game a

Wow, I gotta say that each week Heroes keeps getting better. It’s one of those shows I wish I never heard about until after the season is over so I can watch them all one after another without the pain of having to wait 7 days to see what happens next. I don’t often rave

Upgraded to MovableType 3.3 (finally). Seems to work quite nicely, and the upgrade routine was pretty easy, other than a minor PITA with a static files directory setting having to be changed (the directory with all the javascript libraries and such, causing the admin interface to basically not work). Notable improvements are lots of little

Was talking with Dana this morning about games, flight sims, gaming today, and the up and downsides of console versus PC gaming. On a lark I went and looked up what I remembered being a really cool and advanced flight sim called Tornado, which came out in the Falcon 3.0 era around the early 90s.

FireflyMom was over today keeping herself busy by helpfully working on the deck. She’s the only one that really knows what’s going on with it to be honest. Anyway, somewhere along the way she helped Firefly install a cat door at the front entrance. I got home and began the training as I have done
