Wrote this up today for someone, and decided to clean this up a little and drop it here, since the few technical articles I post seem to get a lot of hits (compared to the rest of the blog). MSI (The Easy Way)  In the case of MSI, this will almost always be your…

NaBloPoMovember: Day 11
Posting this from RockMelt (which is an interesting spin on Chrome, embedding Facebook and Twitter into either side of the browser window). Okay, no, it WAS being written in RockMelt, but then I bailed on it ’cause the screen framing didn’t wrap properly on my tiny 1024×768 screen, which meant the word “embedding” scrolled off…
Chatting with a Virus Bot
Guy I used to work with suddenly started talking to me after about a year and a half of nothing. Looks like he got hit by what we at EA used to call an “MSN IQ Test.” Gotta give them credit for incorporating that INTO the bot itself. Remember kids, just ’cause someone you know…
COFEE – Really? That’s it?
Latest Movember photos are on the Mo’09 photos (there’s a link to the page at the top of this page.) So, a while ago (really? April of last year?) I wrote about Microsoft’s new toolkit for police to quickly gather everything they’d need from a Windows-based workstation, called COFEE. I had a bunch of questions…
Got nothing for you tonight.
I’m tired today, even though I slept through most of Spy Kids 2 this afternoon. Spent two hours doing groceries, watched a movie, and then we went to Ikea for wandering (whoops, $100) and dinner before coming back, putting the kids to bed, and hanging with the beautiful and talented MoxieSnacks. Today blew by. Pweroom. …
Nerd Alert
I’m not going to put up photos for another day or two, but I’m taking shots daily, so maybe by tomorrow or Friday. In the meantime, if you got a few bucks kicking around, and can’t think of anything better to do with them than give ’em to some sorta good cause, like maybe Movember?…
Hey Vancouver School Board: Need A Hand With That Virus?
Anyone who knows me knows I enjoy chasing viruses through the darkest recesses of a workstation, and learning what weird and wonderful new way things are hiding themselves (or reinstalling themselves), and I know it can go sideways and get scary really really fast. And then you move up and up in the ladder of…
N’mo Day 6
Life on Mars should be a very bad show, based on the elevator pitch: A cop in present-day New York gets hit by a passing car, and wakes up in 1973, still a cop in New York. There’s some odd crossover from present day (people he knows in 2008 are younger in 1973), and the…
Nap’mo 5: This is going to suck.
I’m changing the titling so as not to offend KarlaBabble (like SHE ever comes HERE any MORE), but mostly ’cause yeah, I agree that the vast majority of my own “I’m going to write every day for X days” challenges are deeply depressing to myself, ’cause I don’t usually get past day three before skipping…
Nablopomo Day 3
In which our hero finally sits his two little ones down in front of Star Wars. It might be the “fixed” version, but it looks pretty good. When they get older, we’ll get into the whole thing about how the “real” version is the “best” version. Han shot first, dammit (but in this version they…
