One of these days, I’ll figure out how CSS really works. Until that time, I’ll just leave it to the Zen Masters.
Just like that. Whammo.
New blog software.
Must. Control. Urge. To. Fiddle.
Gotta get my old graphic up though, I dig that mushroom thing.
Maps.Google.Com is in Beta.
Wow… Wow… Wow…
Grab the map with your mouse, drag it around. Point at stuff and zoom in. Find your ‘hood, and then ask for Wifi in the area. Donuts. Computer stores. Goldfish. Pop-up ballons showing addresses that cast shadows on the map
It’s like the Sims2, only with Live Data (and less time to figure out what colour hair you want).
Crazy.
Go Google it now
and you can Click Here to see where I work.
The day they beta an Office suite that includes connectivity to MSExchange, I’m uninstalling MSOffice at home.
(No, not really.)
This link will open up a thing that shows the last 30 images on LiveJournal. I’m not saying it’s always safe for work, or always pretty, but it’s almost always interesting.
Like finding photos on a park bench or something.
Via Boing Boing, this article by StevenBerlin is kinda cool, talking about using software that’ll “jam” with you while writing, linking up ideas and cross-referencing other notes and things you’ve come up with in the past.
The software in question (DevonThink) is only Mac-enabled for now, but there’s been other good ones out there.
This article has a little blurb about licensing, and then heads into the Top 10 (here’s the list, you’ll have to visit the article to get the reasons WHY):
10. The Scroll Lock Key
9. 10-Sided Dice
8. Gary Bingham of Columbus Ohio
7. The Little Shoe from Monopoly
6. Graph Paper
5. Jumping
4. On/Off Switches
3. Your Mamma Jokes
2. Warehouse Levels
1. The National Anthem (American)
Been playing with this little gem
and so far so good, except for the one time that it sent some sorta update pop-up window flying off the top of my screen (it was actually pretty damned funny when it happened).
Click on the graphic to go to MS’ site and see if you can get your beta copy (free download, they ask that you verify your copy of Windows XP, but it appears to be optional).
Pretty good little scanner, must’ve been made by someone else.
Ciphire has released their product, and it’s free.
Ciphire Mail is the world’s most powerful email security tool and requires no learning. It works smoothly with your regular email client. Just download, install, and forget. Read more about the benefits and technology of Ciphire Mail.
Emphasis Mine.
I always get nervous when people start saying that. Still, there’s Windoze, Mac and Linux versions of this thing, all on day one. Good luck to ’em, I say. Anyone out there wanna play with it with me?
[Edit] Turns out it only works with Outlook 2003 *IF* you’re using a Pop3 account (not if you’re on an Exchange server, like I am). Maybe I’ll play with the IMAP features at some point in the future, but we’ll see. Pretty smooth though, once everything’s working. My only concern is that by taking the key exchange process out of the loop, and not having any control over the creation of the keys, I don’t know how strong it actually is.
