In a fit of bordom and tiredness we watched Herbie Fully Loaded, the latest incarnation in the Herbie series of films. Other than a minor diversion trying to see when they had digitally de-enhanced Lindsay Lohan’s boobs. Other than that the movie was about as plain and cliche as you can get. There really wasn’t […]

Why doesn’t software use the “Startup” group properly anymore? When I booted up this evening I had about 10 programs loading up in my system tray, but only 3 in the “Startup” program group (and only 2 of those are programs that would be visible in the system tray!). In the registry I have 18

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
