I am completely stunned… insulted, surprised, and in disbelief…. Am I the only person who thinks it is completely unacceptable for any strict Creationist to be seriously considered for the office of President of the United States? Blueweeds has a more thoughtful summary, it is well worth a read: http://blueweeds.typepad.com/blue_weeds/2008/08/palin-a-risky-j.html This is more evidence of […]
For your amusement: Someone has a sense of humor, and it was extra fun on this rainy day.
So my employer is thinking about developing software for Mac OS X users, but unwilling to develop for all versions. Where can one find reasonably good numbers for how large the installed user base is for each version of Mac OS X broken out by version? I did a quick scan of MacWorld, MacUser, and […]
The company I work for has had an Office Administrator whom we all like, but he is leaving us soon (for a job much closer to his home in Woodbridge). We need a new Office Admin. I think computer office application skills (MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook) are wanted, as are the ability to accept […]
I want to build a Linux server from parts I assemble so I become more familiar with small computer gear. My design goals are: easy to work on (roomy enough for easy changes, thumb levers/screws where possible) affordable/cheap ($600 or less) powerful enough to run RedHat Enterprise Server 5, Xen 3 virtualization, OpenSUSE 11 and […]
So it appears that meth using racists have already started plotting the assassination of Barack Obama. CBS 4 Denver has story, video, photos of the would-be assassins. I have slim hope that this will be the last such attempt, more hope that law enforcement catches them all before they can do anything. I learned a […]
It is already all over ABC and Politico (both are moderately conservative media outlets), and I suspect Fox (which I cannot stomach, but is very predictable) is also running a series of articles that are over-focused on driving a wedge between the Clinton and Obama camps within the Democratic Party. I fully expect them to […]
Home again, home again, jiggity jig. Erci and I are home again getting re-united with the cats and unpacking. Day by day details for those who care…
When I bought my MacBook Air earlier this year, one of my concerns was the absence of an integral wired ethernet port. Most of the time I don’t need one; we have excellent wireless at work and home; and most hotels we visit have wireless as well. I did recall that many hotels only have […]
More gorgeous weather got us off to a good start today. Erci started writing a paper while I went to the Fortune District (Soka Gakkai) discussion meeting on “What is Kosen Rufu and how can we achieve it in our lifetimes?” that Mike and Steve lead us in. I particularly liked a passage Steve had […]
