We’ve had some good press in the last month or two, notably IBM’s announcement of Firefox as its default browser, and a Forrester Research report stating that Firefox has a 20% share in the companies they surveyed. I think it’s important that we have a good story for getting Firefox into the hands of people [...]
I have a new PT-AE3000 projector from Panasonic, and to date I have loved everything about it except for a few games (most notably rock band 2) using the Xbox 360 with a progressive signal. The video (but not the audio) would stutter/jump at times, which could throw my timing off. It wasn’t a huge [...]
Just a really quick hit, because it took me a little while to find this post, which pointed me in the right direction. If you’re trying to use the PowerLinc 2412U on OSX 10.5 with the latest beta (4.1) of the Indigo home-automation and control server, you’ll need to install USB serial drivers first. It [...]
DJ Riko produces a Christmas Mix every year, and it’s a tradition of his that he shares. I’m happy he does, because his mixes are a nice twist on what’s played in store and on the radio. If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional music (which, as a bonus, includes a backbeat), try some [...]
I run Winbloze. I know, I know, but I have had a much better experience with Windows environments on my desktop than I have had with my Ti or my MBP. Windows comes with risks, so to help mitigate (again, I know, I know) those risks I use Norton Internet Security. My subscription ran out [...]
Larry Lessig’s talk on user generated content, who’s generating it, how copyright law reacts to it and, most importantly, the effect this has on the content creators is awesome. Take the twenty minutes, and watch the whole thing. His summary at the end addresses an unintended consequence that I had never even considered, and it [...]
after talking with jenna j about the awesomeness that is session restore, coop mentioned this little trick at work today, and it’s a great one to know. have you ever closed a tab in firefox and immediately wished you hadn’t? did you know you can get it back? didn’t think so. if you accidentally close [...]
Madeleine L’Engle, children’s writer, passed away yesterday at the age of 88. She introduced me to the ideas of science fiction in grade one, long before I had any concept of what it was, through “A Wrinkle In Time”. I liked the book so much I “borrowed” it permanently from the school library, and it [...]
Ugh. No matter how much I try and cover all the bases, some little thing always turns what should be a 2-3 hour transition period into a 12 hour ordeal. Everything went pretty smoothly until final testing on re-training false positives with dspam. I had tested it with the existing quarantine, which was created under [...]
Here’s a great idea for e-bay and other lightbox photography: use that cooler sitting in the basement or garage as your light box/tent. Of course, said cooler should be dirt/mold free, or the results won’t be as good as they could be. The link goes to Strobist, which is one of the coolest photography blogs [...]
