Regarding That JPEG
This does NOT delete a single thing and doesn't have the capability to “warp” a monitor. It only uses known exploits in IE to run a local app. Something that others have put up sites to exhibit. This particular one only logs the user off. Nothing else, and with the latest fixes, it doesn't even [...]
Pop-up Stopper
Noted in the last digest that you were contemplating installing a Pop-Up stopper. The one you mentioned was Pow! from AnalogX. While I am a big fan of his work and use several of his tools, I would like to recommend in the particular case that you check out Panicware's Pop-Up Stopper, available here. There's [...]
Incredibly Moved
I am so upgraded to Movable Type 2.0, it's not even funny.
Fifty Windows XP Tips eBook
Ya know that secret thingy I was telling you about? Well, it's not that much of a secret (actually, I don't think it's a secret at all). Anyway, I believe it's well on its way. If you'd like to get 50 Windows XP tips in PDF, CHM, MHT, TXT, PDB, LIT, **and** TR formats for [...]
From My Wife's Fingers
Geek, regarding the convention: with Gnomedex only being in its second year, it's almost impossible to predict the turnout for this year. Last year, they planned for a lot more, and Sept. 11 happened. It was rescheduled, and the turnout was very disappointing as far as numbers (but definitely not disappointing as far as the [...]
Another One For August
Evan Williams is confirmed for Gnomedex!
Sweet Balls Of Fire
Another busy (but very fruitful) day on my end. The show was fun; some of the reads were choppy, but the guests were great and the segments went smoothly. I wanted to attend a loft complex meeting tonight; they're switching ISPs on us. Verizon is our “new” provider. Oy. Instead of arguing with a clueless [...]
Love Ya Mean It
Before anybody else sends me a poem (not that I wouldn't appreciate it), I need to let you know that I'm still working on that eBook concept. In fact, I've got a better idea as to how we'll be rolling it out. I realize that a chat room isn't the end-all / be-all place to [...]
Ode To Chris Pirillo
You don't send me ASCII flowers / You don't IM me South Park songs / You hardly comment on my blog anymore / When you come through that door / At the end of the day / I remember when… / You couldn't wait to ping me / Used to hate to leave me / [...]
Save Kevin's Blog
I think I confused everyone with my earlier post; I rather appreciated Kevin's use of my blog template. In fact, I liked it so much that I'm going to share my code with everyone now. Click here to grab the latest version. The only thing I ask is that you give me credit and you [...]
Get Thee To A Winery
I'm not writing this because I have to – I'm doing it because I want to. I think I know why everybody likes Dave Winer so much. He's direct, smart, sincere, and (most importantly) genuine. “This above all, to thine own self be true.” Shakespeare was writing about Dave. How do I know? Well, he, [...]
American Blog Slice
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This guy isn't half as ugly as I am. Thanks to Cheyenne for tipping me off. I suppose it's just a matter of time before you take the ball and run with it, too. And what have I said about running in the house?
Small Phrases Loosely Coined
I liked the book so much, I asked for multiple copies. Now I can read my David no matter where I am. I also have a copy for the downstairs bathroom, the upstairs bathroom, two for my bedroom (one for each side of the bed), one for the deck, my desk, kitchen table, bookshelf (natch), [...]
Get Your Boss To Pay For Gnomedex
“I have a strange skin fungus which can only be cured by visiting a specialist in Iowa. His next opening is in the middle of August.” “I just got subpoenaed. The trial is in Des Moines, Iowa. It should only take a couple of days.” “Send me to Gnomedex or the singing fish gets it.” [...]
