There. I’ve made the first pass at separating Professional social networking and personal social networking. I’ll do a little more of that over time, I think. Unfortunately, to do that requires the socially awkward and mildly offensive act of “unfriending” people on Facebook and rebuilding that network on LinkedIn. I made a huge point [...] I’ve created a public (shared) Google Calendar that has all the calendar dates from the Canyons School District (Utah) 2011-12 Calendar. It includes both elementary and secondary (Middle and High School) calendars for the traditional school schedule — not the year-round or trimester schedule. First, the official version: Download the PDF calendar from Canyons [...] August 7th, 2011 | Tags: calendar, canyons, district, school |
 Category: General, Technology |  Leave a comment I’m an open software guy. I make no apologies for that. Proprietary has its time and place — I get my paycheck from proprietary — so I’m not a complete purist, eh. And I’m a reasonably competent and comfortable computer user, which certainly skews my thinking and opinions. There. End disclaimer. I get [...] This post is for my sister who also just moved to an Android platform phone. (Her BlackBerry will be on eBay soon; let me know if you’re interested. lol.) Now that you’re geeking on Droid, here are a few other services you may want to consider: Twitter. Post “micro-blog” updates in 140 characters or [...] 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 [...] Do you hate looking for files on your computer? Is it a totally jumbled mess? Sure you can use increasingly good search solutions, like Google Desktop, but it just doesn’t feel as good as going straight to your files, or seeing all your related files listed together where they belong. I adopted a simple [...] 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’ve really begun enjoying using Mind Mapping Software lately at work. I’ve used a few packages over time, but finally settled this year on XMind. The free version is not a “crippled” version; it includes a rich set of fully functional features. The pro version includes a few additional features. What I like best [...] The longer I’m on Windows, the less I’m able to help my family, neighbors, and friends to fix slow and failing Windows machines. One of my colleagues, Ken, clued me into a tool that may help me be more successful. Rescue CDs. Even the most established anti-virus software packages can’t cover it all. Sometimes, [...] I should have been resting today, but instead, I’ve upgraded 2 of our machines to openSUSE 11.3 from 11.2. I’m also converting the family over to Gnome instead of KDE; KDE4 has just been too problematic since 11.2. I’m sure it’ll catch up, but Gnome is still a bit more solid and smooth, I [...] |
