Sowing the seeds of mass emigration

April 29, 2007 – 3:23 pm

The last great mass exodus of humankind had to be at the time of the Mayflower and the escape from religious persecution that was rampant across Europe and England. It was a time of trepidation and great excitement as new worlds lay ahead of those brave enough; and valued freedom over bowing to the [...]

Vista/XP update and love of community

April 28, 2007 – 7:37 pm

The other day I wrote about my impending unwanted switch back to XP Professional because of the death of the Vista RC2 build I have been running on my machine and I thought that was the end of it. Well the next morning when I brought my email client to the foreground to see [...]

Meme Time: Blogs that make me think

April 28, 2007 – 5:23 pm

Wow … this is something that I wasn’t expecting. To be tapped by a blog written by someone whose writing you like and respect as a fellow blogger who makes them think is a hellva way to start what looked to be another lousy rainy day. Apparently though Jason over at webomatica thinks that [...]

April 26, 2007 – 6:26 am

Awhile back I wrote about my maddening experiences with email clients for Windows; specifically when it came to being able to back up your data easily and not being such a pig on system resources.

I hate countdowns - especially software ones

April 25, 2007 – 4:44 pm

I found myself for the last few days having to take a rather forced break from anything that meant any position other than lying flat on my back. It happens every once in awhile for varying lengths of time but makes trying to do any work kind of pointless.

Now this is irritating

April 22, 2007 – 1:36 pm

In the last couple of days Microsoft released Community Technology Preview’s of the next interation of the Express development packages (Codename Orca) for those of us that like to live or try out the bleeding edge of stuff. Now being a glutton for punishement I figured what hell and downloaded the VB.NET package for [...]
