This is something I have been thinking about for a while, and the truth is that I have some random thoughts about this, so it’s going to be hard for me to make a cohesive post. As I start this post its 8am here in Portland. I have been up since 5:30AM. Its Saturday morning! [...]
I found the International Geek Song on several sites in the last couple days. I have watched it dozens of times and I think its right near the funniest thing I have ever seen. I thought my wife would really enjoy this, because she likes to make fun of me pretty regularly. She watched it [...]
I am pretty sure most everybody knows about the WayBack machine on Archive.org but I felt like making sure. A question came up on the MMUG mailing list today that made me think of this site. Although no longer indexing sites, the way back machine took snap shots of web sites for the purpose of [...]
I am back from San Francisco (more on that later) and I am getting all caught up on the news. In my JDJ newsletter I saw this article about Sun opening up a location in Hillsborro. Portland is often called the Silcon Forest beccause of the high concentration of Tech companies here.
While I was sitting here waiting for my plane this morning, I was very excited to see that the pdx airport has free internet access. I think this is an amazing contribution. I think this really shows that the port of portland understands that the "silicon forest" that is our home, embraces new technologies. I [...]
I love Firefox. I think its a great browser and I plug it anywhere I can. But a group of students from OSU did a little project to raise awareness (and I am sure waste some time). I think you will like it. I am willing to bet this may be the largest firefox logo [...]
I found this fun little survey today. Its a quick survey of about 20 zany questions, which if answered honestly will predict the computer OS your personality most resembles. Take a minute to fill it out. You might find something out! :) But if you are not in the mood and just want to see [...]
I have never used craigs list before. I knew what it was, but have not had an occassion to buy or sell much. Today I visited the groups section of the site to post an announcement of our upcoming PDX CFUG Meeting feature Spike of the CFEclipse project. While posting I noticed a checkbox which [...]
A break, a laugh, whatever. And I have found that I can always count on bash.org to provide that release that I need. Bash.org is a site that people can post funny transcripts from irc chats to. A formal warning: Some quotes may not be work appropriate, nor kid safe! But by the time I [...]
I will be the first to admit that I have fully jumped on the google bandwagon. I read google news, use gmail, enjoy the google maps and other serives. When I think web search I type google.com But that was not always the case. When I started doing web work my world revolved around Yahoo! [...]
