I just stumbled across this page.  Take a few minutes and read through them.  Good stuff.  Hopefully the right to bear arms won’t be too restricted over the next few months. After all, gun control means putting three bullets through the same hole at 100 yards.

I cannot believe they let this slide.  We have QB installed on one of our network servers, and when we try to create an accountants copy, it fails to create it.  In the event log there are errors from QuickBooks, and one of them points to some random directory on our E: drives.  The problem […]

Another Tampa Code Camp is in queue.  On Saturday December 6th, starting at 8am (registration at 7am), Keith and others (Joe!) are putting on another code camp. As per last time, I’ll be doing a session on CRM, focused on client side programming.  Of course, with only 60 minutes (including time for Q&A) there’s not […]

In a recent update of Gmail, Google has added themes.  While dorking around with the available themes, I discovered "Terminal."  As an old school geek, this really takes me back.  Try it out, you’ll either love it or hate it!

I dropped off my XBox 360 at the UPS Store this afternoon.  As this is the third time I’ve had to send the unit back in two years, I thought I’d make a joke as I walked into the store (we have a mailbox there, so the guys there know me).  Brandishing the unmarked box […]

I am *so* pissed.  Like everyone else, I installed the next generation user interface on my XBox when it came out.  It look pretty good, and the Netflix setup went smoothly (I already have a Roku so I knew what to expect). Unfortunately, ever since the upgrade, the machine has been locking up.  At first […]

I did it!  After many months of keeping my inbox down to around 40-50 items, I have finally reached nirvana – no items in the inbox! Now of course the trick will be to keep it down to that. Keep your fingers crossed, and don’t send me email just to try to fill up my […]

1 – if John McCain wins, under no circumstances will this be accepted by the losing side.  Plan on screams of stolen elections.  I don’t think McCain will win, but if he does, oh boy, prepare for a heck of a show.  McCain said it best in this video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ql1RLDVWzY.  It is a hilarious […]

When you don’t have children, and you don’t have much family that is close to you, it becomes quite difficult to figure out what to do with whatever is left after your own death. In my case, obviously everything goes to my fiancee in the event that something happens to me, but not to her.  […]

I was happy to see that Regal Honda/Acura apologized fairly quickly (see comments in my previous post) for the misleading marketing piece.  I’ll be keeping an eye out on their physical mail to see if they mis-use the "Urgent!" warnings, but I’m still not enabling them to email me again.  I’m not in the market […]
