Sound Bites

It’s time for a rant, time to dredge up those same old topics, same tired old arguments. Why did they? What where they thinking? Who designed that? You think I’m talking about software? That would be too easy. No, I’m back to my favorite pass-time, skewering Read More...

Quality Fake Rolex Now

I'm sure you must have have at least 35 to 40 fake Rolex watches, each, by now. No? I'm drowning in them. I just match up each real-mail offer for a new credit card with each e-mail offer for a fake watch. I'm planning to give them out as holiday gifts Read More...

Less than Express

I'm heading out today on vacation for the week, far away from all things digital, miles and miles away from anything with a functioning central processing until, no cell phone coverage, no bandwidth, just blue skies, mountains, tall green trees and the Read More...

User Interference

There's a lot about todays web-site interfaces that bug me. First, let me say that many sites are utterly fantastic and its not the lack of content or style (that plagues many home page sites for example). It's the sheer overload of unrelated information Read More...

Reusability Rant

During my lifetime (so far) of programming I've worked on a many projects that were built around or including external libraries and components. These are packaged units of software purchased from a vendor for a specific purpose. However, no matter how Read More...

Slow as Molasses

I hate it when it goes slow. Everything has been blinding fast for months, and now its such a slow crawl that it is driving me a little over the edge. I'm not talking about the CPU, or the compiler or even my speedy sports car. I'm talking about my ability Read More...

Through the Looking Glass

What's the fascination of 3D for the desktop? I'm referring to the Sun announcement of its new Looking Glass desktop. Of course, it looks intriguing. I'm not one to scoff at the overuse of CPU power just for the sake of using it, and I have not seen a Read More...

Flaming the Feed

Great balls of fire, batman, there was a fire alarm a while ago. The whole building was evacuated. I had to finish my last post 'What you definitely don't want to see', before I could add a few more zingers. Now I've been away from the keyboard so long Read More...

Technicolor Dreamshirt

I'm back at work today, and its now worse than ever. It's happening all around me, and its hard to miss. I see it everywhere I go. I even see it on me. It's kind of easy to understand though. I mean, what with this place being what it is and the people Read More...

It must be blogona

A few visitors arrived late last night while I was sleeping. Had I known they were waiting I wouldn't have left them there, alone, in the dark. I wouldn't have ignored them as I arose in the morning and went through my morning ritual. I wouldn't have Read More...

The most popular topic in the blogosphere

Sometimes, when I'm not too busy working, eating, sleeping, playing, and cutting my toenails, I take a few moments to read what's on the web. Some of it is directed at my favorite news sites, some of it at bloggers I know and some of it at random stuff Read More...

Insecurity Training

I spent most of the day yesterday in a conference room with about a thousand other co-workers of mine. I know them all personally. You should have seen the size of the table! But seriously, it was a mandatory training session for the likes of us unruly Read More...

Gmail: What were they thinking?

I've been thinking about this quite a bit. Google's proposed gmail will 'read' your email and based on words/subjects/etc that it finds it will target ads at you whenever you go to the site to read your mail. It will store up to one gigabyte of email Read More...
