 So I’m using Skype 4, and the first thing that hits me is that I can’t make the window smaller than 800×500 or so.  There’s also this weird side-panel thing (highlighted in pink above) that you can’t turn off.  Make me want to minimize Skype as soon as I open it, just because it’s…

Wow. How steampunk is this?
Just me fooling around with the theme here on Gecko Bloggle. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Oh, are you still here?
This was going to start as a little piece talking about how much more time I spend at Facebook, but I don’t spend much time AT Facebook, I’ve been spending time chatting with friends VIA Facebook. See, there’s this chat system, and it’s meant to allow users who are on FB to chat with others…
I think I’m going to like working here…
I got this apron from work. …yeah… I know it’s a game company …I don’t know what aprons have to do with video games either. Maybe we’re making an online cooking game, who knows? Nobody ever tells me anything. I mean, it’s kind of random, but it could be worse. They could have given us……
One thing Apple does a little *too* differently, and F-Lock YOU!
Okay, riddle me this, Apple Fans: Let’s say I have a list of 26 songs (let’s call them “A” through “Z”) in iTunes, and I want to select *some* of them. I click on the beginning of my selection (let’s say “L”) hold down shift, and start cursoring down to select “M, N, O, P”…
New theme coming soon.
My previous one was a little *too* hip, but also only showed one post on the screen at a time. Plus, I’m not in Dubai (I don’t think). More serene theme coming soon.
Yeah okay, but what does it MEAN?
So Arwen and I were Googling “don’t irritate your new boss” looking for the source of this creepy baby picture on the back of a parenting mag, and found this utterly weird translation page… about gardening… or something… I think. It’s like I was warned about a certain psychedelic experience many many years ago: It’s…
GTA4 – Can a toy be inherently evil?
My mom asked me about the killing of prostitutes in Grand Theft Auto 4, as mentioned in this week’s New York Times. Here’s what I wrote back. Edit: I refer below to “Hot Chocolate” when I mean, “Hot Coffee.” Maybe I was hungry when I wrote this. Can of worms, for sure, but it’s an…
This just in… Microsoft’s COFEE for Police – Can D0Nutz be far behind?
So Microsoft quietly released a USB drive to a bunch of law-enforcement officers to allow them to collect data (passwords, Internet history, cookies, etc) from “live” Windows machines. While this is “breaking news” today (probably more now, but this search only showed two pages on Google as of this morning), it seems that people have…
I got nothin’ and I’m talking aaaaall about it.
Eep Omnibus Pablum. (Translation: I got nothin’.) Yeah, no, I got nothing. This past weekend was good, partly ’cause I deliberately didn’t get into anything from work ’cause I knew this was going to be “hell week,” due to some stuff that’s coming up fast for a Friday deadline. Today, I felt like I was…
