Damn Dog
My Humping Dog is getting soar.
Cheaper GnomeTomes
We've put GnomeTome PDFs up on Amazon.com – and they're available for $3 apiece. If you wanna make money off of them, just link to them with your Amazon affiliate account (if you have one). Cool, huh? For some reason, our descriptions didn't take – but the titles pretty much say it all. My goal [...]

Activewords Spam?
Jake's Jive has a live one today: One of my responsibilities at Lockergnome is defending our good name against accusations of spamming. Unfortunately, because it's very easy to spoof an e-mail address or associate another company's name with an unsolicited message, defending our integrity is an on going battle. I've been put through the paces [...]

Elephant Toes
Tonight, Gretchen and I will be experimenting with Pygmy cuisine. We'll be heading over to the East Bay to hit Minijapa – which is pygmese for “Elephant Toes.” This must be their specialty? We've heard nothing but good things about this place. Will we survive this evening? Only the humping dog knows.
RSS Feed Fun
AmphetaDesk – {Get news on your desktop} You need to stay informed. Well, you don't NEED to stay informed, I guess… but if you want to be a vital part of the human race, it's a good idea to keep tabs on what the human race is doing. Yes, of course. This tool downloads only [...]
Hacking
This is a test of the emergency blogcast system. In the event of a real emergency, you would have been directed to related Google links at the bottom of the post. Please stand by. Damn. It's not going to work for me. Google likes my entries too much, and the API only allows x queries [...]

Read this and then read this.

Need to learn Linux? Get one of Tony's new eBooks! Need proof that his knowledge can turn your life around? Okay, check out what Mike Chandler just sent me: “Your pal Tony on Penguin Shell is 'da man!' Several months ago, the only thing I knew about Linux was how to rack a server and [...]
I'm A Dumbass
I don't buy it. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it. These new Apple commercials with people too stupid for their own good are driving me up the wall. Some of them are claiming that it's less difficult to navigate in OS X than it is in Windows. Pardon me, but they're PRETTY MUCH [...]
Laughy Long Time
The Geek Disc is much more than just a CD ROM. It's the first New Media TV show from Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, 12 year veterans of the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit. It contains much more content than a typical half-hour network tv show, and (hopefully) is a hell of a lot funnier. [...]
Cool Tools III
Have I already said that software roundups are starting to get lame? I'm speaking directly to this month's issue of PC Magazine. Specifically, portions of its 10th Annual Utility Guide. For the most part, they listed the “top” contenders in each category. I have no real argument against their recommendations on the whole. My true [...]

Chris: Hot on the heels of my last e-mail about e-mail security, I was wondering if you have come across an add-on or plug–inf for Outlook that helps to keep it organized. I've tried Glance for Outlook, and am using Nelson Email Organizer, but they still don't fill the bill. Glance lets you access Outlook [...]
Boycotting Yahoo!
There's trouble in tweakville; X-Setup's official site is down for the count. Their Web host (Yahoo!) is apparently being non-responsive? From CptSiskoX: “Yahoo! has some ridiculous policies in place. A while ago they had a Terms of Service agreement which claimed everything hosted on a Yahoo! site (GeoCities division especially) was property of Yahoo! and [...]
