Know Ye This
We're moving this blog over to another server at some point today. I'd put up “Under Construction” graphics, but those are tacky and my page is already overly yellow. I hope the move goes smoothly. We'll see what happens. This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. *BEEEEEP* UPDATE: If you're reading this [...]
Mea Culpa
Remember my idea of a Start Menu-based newsfeed parser? I'm sure countless software developers are feverishly working on one – but Dave was the first one to cross the finish line, and I hadn't said anything about it until now. So, here's a very public THANK YOU to the guy who has made my world [...]

I'm No Superman
Did I just hear them advertising “Magic Rattle Poo” on TV?! I think they were referring to the tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluffy. Anyway, I thought you might benefit from the advice that Robyn sent at 10:30 this morning: “(1) Do not. I repeat. Do not watch Oprah. Sure it starts innocently enough. [...]
I'm Still Alive
I'd say that I'm at a loss for words, but that wouldn't be correct. I posted a somewhat-extended entry in today's Windows Daily. Still, I can't tell you everything about what's going on – and I believe you understand why. In due time, all will be revealed. Until then, “touch your tongue to mine – [...]
E Ya Later!
As of today, I will no longer be with TechTV… 'cause I'm movin' on up… to…? ;)
Makin' Fake Bacon
Okay, I'm Listed on BlogShares. Now what?
I Hate IE6!
I don't know what's causing the anomaly, but apparently people with Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP1) are having issues with viewing this page. If the text / graphics are coming up blurry, I apologize. It's annoying! UPDATE: I think I've fixed the blur problem, but now it seems someone's messed with my color palette! UPDATE II: [...]
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 [...]
