My first experience with Spideroak Support was very positive. Recall that I recently wrote about organizing your files and what I do to back them up. (Yes, you should be backing them up. By now, folks, that’s a total “duh,” so man up and start really backing up for your files!) Anyway, Spideroak starts [...] I’m not an Apple fan. I’ve not been an Apple enemy, but also not a fan. I know some real Apple fans. They’re great technical and business guys. The differences between me and them: Hardware aesthetics don’t impress me much. I don’t say that being impressed by them is a negative, it just doesn’t [...] I was very pleased to read today’s article in the Deseret News, “The Catholic perspective on film.” I was unaware of this long-standing service from the Catholic News Service (CNS). According to the article, “Today, the Media Reviewing Office of Catholic News Service provides weekly reviews of new releases, an archived database of thousands [...] I’ve been a T-Mobile customer since 2006. We have a family plan. I’ve generally been happy with the coverage and customer service form T-Mobile. But like many Americans, I’ve begun to get frustrated with the cell phone companies’ contract practices. Specifically, I object to the following practices: Selling network-locked phones Requiring 2-year contract extensions [...] This weekend, I finally dumped Blockbuster Total Access in favor of Netflix. A few months ago, Blockbuster shut down the local Blockbuster. The nearest one is now 3 miles away. OK, that’s not that far, but it’s further than I’ve ever had to go to a Blockbuster, and it’s in an area we almost [...] Boo. Hiss. The local Boy Scouts of America Council’s web site for updating ranking advancements, rosters, etc., only runs with Internet Explorer on Windows. I run linux. So every time my wife, the cub den leader, has to update cub scout info, she has to launch the Windows virtual machine and fight with Windows [...] I haven’t been a reader of Wall Street Journal’s Opinion Journal (here), but today stumbled across it via their Twitter feed (here). They have a video stream. I thought, nah, it won’t work on linux. But it worked flawlessly … and beautifully. What’s so hard about this that cbsnews.com and abc.com can’t seem to [...] I ordered a Robocut (www.haircut.com) in September 2006. I use it a lot on me and the boys. Good success. I like it. Today, I cut my hair OK, but as I was cutting Elijah’s, the Robocut got louder and louder (clackety clack). Right as I finished his cut, it stopped working. The motor [...] I just installed an automatic update of Sun Java on my Windows XP virtual machine (I need it for school, otherwise, I would not have XP at all. Hissss.) The installation program offers Google Toolbar as an optional but pre-selected installation choice. That’s bad. I don’t like it. It’s rude. I’m generally a fan [...] |
