If I was sending a package of CDs to an apartment across from the Pentagon (which I am), would it be a good thing or a bad thing if I wrote “NOT ANTHRAX” across it, considering that the first package of CDs that I sent were damaged beyond use?

I just realized today why those bonus stamps you get from Subway have the store number and ticket number printed on them: so that when you hand it in, they have a record of which stores you’ve been to: geographical data. Or maybe I had too many bowls of paranoia flakes this morning… Today I […]

mmm, that would be good. Woman jump-starts her car with infant. No, infants can’t be used as jumper cables. Infants, however, can swallow small ICs usually attached to keys that emit a small signal when brought close to the ignition, necessary for the car to start. This is also another reason not to buy a […]

Curiously enough, that last entry was #500. Which makes this #501. Funny that. Today is your typical first day at work: got office, got PC, got logins, mysteriously don’t have phone. Hey, three out of four ain’t bad.

My computer is finally almost where I want it to be: got my TV card running, it gets along with my ATI Rage 128 Pro w/Rage Theatre (I can capture video using either as a source, and the Rage Theatre has TV Out as well). Now all I need is to dump this PC100 RAM […]

OMG! After weeks of wrangling with it, my ATI TV Wonder PCI card finally works again under Windows XP! Why? Because ATI ACTUALLY RELEASED A NEW DRIVER FOR IT.. Not that it’s on their website or anything; I got it through Windows Update. But still! Wow!

To the developers of Miranda: I hate you for using an awful database file format. I hate you I hate you I hate you. I hate you more for not releasing a stable release in months. All of this hate stems from the fact that I just spent three hours rescuing my contact with a […]

I think I’d like to take a crack at creating a new Newton browser. It seems that with the combined power of NHttpLib and NTox, downloading and parsing pages should be easy. That leaves graphics and actually drawing the pages… the hard part.
