Reviews, speculation, and other idle thoughts on hardware, software, firmware…
iPods, iTunes, iReal? iCarumba… RealNetworks is offering an alliance with Apple … probably after hearing about Apple is selling more iPods than Macs. Which shouldn’t really come as any surprise, I guess. What’s going to be really interesting in the next couple of months is seeing which avenue the company chases with more fervor and/or […]
Let’s take a moment to reflect on cool things such as Aiwa’s mp3 recorder headphones. I know I mentioned recently that I got Resin up and running on KetelOne and that I was even able to get it and Apache talking. For this, I am proud. Now if I only had the extra 30 minutes […]
Sitting here waiting for the support on-call cell to ring and getting nothing. Can’t complain about that — though it does bring me back around to thinking about how the service is sketchy out here at best. So where have we been poking our noses lately? The miracles of SCIENCE!

THE WEEKEND ROOOOOOOOOOOUND-UP! … in all its glory? Much to be b’gock’d about. (1) Got Resin working on KetelOne this weekend. Step in the right direction. Now I just need to figure out how to make it talk to Apache (and vice versa). And convince it to recognize the Xalan jar sitting in its lib […]
Google Web Alerts could be cool… “How to Be a Programmer” — featuring important skills like “How to Debug” … of course, I’ll be shooting this link to some of my team members… MacWarriors build a better browser history with Trailblazer.

Oh, and where is your 64-bit non-workstation PC line? To consumers: If you’re not reading benchmarks, you’re not researching. If you’re not researching, you don’t need “the […]
Near article from a year ago that makes me so so glad that I reformatted my Western Digital drive before shipping it off for its RMA… One of the drives once lived in an ATM. It contained a year’s worth of financial transactions–including account numbers and withdrawal amounts–from a organization that had a legal requirement […]
Mo’ XSL ish for your eye-hole. (Been a while since I blogged the geeky core of my soul out on this madness.) Problem: Generating well-formed xml-based FAQs that are easy to read and (even!) pretty (if there is such a thing) is all well and good. But who wants to read through a whole huge […]
You see, file-sharing can kill: According to law officers, Mathers was hysterical when police arrived and told them that she killed her boyfriend only after he accused her of illegally downloading music and erased about 2,000 of her MP3s. Mathers complained that it took 3 months to build her music collection. But hey, it’s a […]
OK… Nevermind the L Grand Canyon… All I want for Xmas is this:
