Switching to Mozilla
After getting a false bounce from my Brother (via MailWasher), I thought it was time I learned how to use the junk mail features in Mozilla's mail client. After a little fussing, I was able to get it to work – quite admirably, might I add. I don't know how they do it, but this [...]
WWWD?
Wil Wheaton… will not be at Gnomedex 3.0.
A Day in the Life
(1) Update on Mandrake 9.1 installation: smooth as silk, and the OS is supremely impressive. Finally, a usable Linux desktop! (2) I spent most of the day trying to figure out how to get this to work with our entertainment system; ultimately, I installed a WinTV PCI card in G's computer and things are running [...]
Blue… No Yellow!
The built-in Ethernet jack on that Lindows machine seems to have shuffled off its mortal coil, so I'm using this alleged suicide as an excuse to throw Mandrake 9.1 on that baby. We'll see if I can bring the port back to life. Hey, if they can sell subscriptions to borrowing unlimited paperback novels (library, [...]
Genius Blogs
I just started a new blogroll, and I'll add to it whenever I stumble upon a blog that's totally out-of-the-box. Today, my buddy David sent me a link to his latest creation: Legal MP3 Downloads. Totally, TOTALLY cool. I've got the 'roll' at the bottom of my sidebar – take a look and let me [...]
In Need of Beta Clickers
Taking a cue from one of my snozberries (Marie), Jake and I decided to give Voidstar a whirl. After seeing semi-decent results, we decided to install the code on our Web server. The result: a Lockergnome Windows Daily RSS feed. It's pretty sloppy, but that's to be expected with such a reverse-engineered “hack.” Still, it [...]
Syndication Sensation
You're sitting there thinking to yourself: “Yeah, RSS is great and all – but why doesn't Courtney wear a thong in her Webcam? And would she really spank my IP? That, and how do I set up an RSS feed for my site – or for a site that doesn't have one available?” Looks like [...]
RSSing the Bar
Jodie says I look like the Uniblogger with this jersey on. I've just been feedin' my need for news. Somebody linked to Feedstering Mozilla, but I'm still using IE 90% of the time. Never fear! TweakUI for XP is here! Within its 'Internet Explorer' entry, open the Search branch. Create a new search prefix, enter [...]
Handheld Hell
Why doesn't someone create a reverse eBay of sorts? I'm looking for a way to… “backup” my Game Boy cartridges via USB. I found a few scattered online retailers that carry the Gameboy Advance XG-Flash 256MB, but each one of the sites has lousier than lousy ratings. Even Craig's list didn't help me (and where's [...]
Ben and Mena MP3
The blog song via Solonor. If this doesn't launch someone into the A list, I don't know what will. A box of Krispy Kremes?
Too Much Information
Gretchen returned a foam pillow to Brookstone this evening. I stood outside the store, peering over the balcony to the floors below. From behind, I hear: “Hey, it's Chris Pirillo!” My normal reaction would be to turn and run, but somehow the mall had rendered my instincts moot. Turns out to be pt (master of [...]
Gnomedex 3.0 Updates
Hey folks! The site (as you can see) is still coming together – including the speakers page. We're working on a handful of BIG names for you. So, who's already confirmed? You're not going to believe it – but I'll tell you, anyway. How'd you like to shake hands with Jim Louderback? Ya know, the [...]
Shocking News
We needed an extension cord, so I picked one up from Radio Shack this afternoon. It came with a tag attached, but I tore it off so that I could transcribe the warning for you. Danger! [That's how it starts] Electrical cords can be hazardous. Misuse can result in FIRE or DEATH by ELECTRICAL SHOCK. [...]
RSS Feed Jackpot
I was checking out a link that someone sent me earlier, and stumbled upon this jackpot of RSS feeds. Insane! They've even got one set up for Robert Blake, for chrissake. Now, if only they'd add Charlie, I'd be set. I'm telling ya – if you don't have a RSS file, I ain't likely to [...]
The $99 Tech Conference
The new Gnomedex site is live.
