Tub Drain 19. Me 1.

  • 28 Sep, 2005

Well I’ve been trying and trying to remove the drain from our bath tub as I need to put in a better one that works without using pliers. It took me quite a few tries (days) but I got it out tonight! They made no tool to get the drain out so I improvised with […]

Google Video Goes Flash

  • 26 Sep, 2005

Finally, Google Video has gone Flash! No more downloading the Google Video player (PC only) or worrying about the video being in windows media format, or avi, or mpg, or real or whatever. Now it should all be in Flash and it should just work. Granted the downside is that the quality is probably less […]

Hello Chester – My new iPod

  • 26 Sep, 2005

I was all excited the other day when it arrived. My new iPod. 20 gigs, full color screen and best of all it was free! I think I’ll call him Chester.I did one of those free iPod deals after researching it to make sure I wasn’t going to get screwed over. And it worked! All […]

Charamel Best Firefox & Thunderbird Theme

  • 22 Sep, 2005

I try and check out all the themes for Firefox and Thunderbird that I can, however only one has ever really impressed me. That theme is Charamel. This theme has had a lot of work put into it and it’s absolutely beautiful. Everything works together and it’s a joy to use. There are even elements […]

Nvu I want to use you.

  • 21 Sep, 2005

Nvu is yet another spawn of the Mozilla family. This time, non-Mozilla employees ripped out Composer, the HTML editor that can be found in the Mozilla Suite. They then re-worked it into a stand alone application called Nvu. Now I was all excited to hear about this project. How could it be bad? Well I’ve […]

FBI Porn Squad

  • 20 Sep, 2005

Oh it’s real. And I’m not sure what to think about it. Just imagine telling your mom. You: Mom I work for the FBI! Mom: What do you do? You: I look for porn. Mom: What?! You: I work for the anti-obscenity squad and our job is to find porn and stop people from… um…. […]

Justilien : Linking Expert

  • 19 Sep, 2005

Now linking is not monkey work. You can’t just do it and be successful. To bad too, because that’d make me a lot happier. And maybe I could get a monkey! 😉 Nope, it’s an art really. Figuring out how politely convince other sites to link to yours, in the correct way, for the right […]

Camino’s cool, but…

  • 16 Sep, 2005

I downloaded the latest release of Camino yesterday by accident. (I clicked on a link and it started downloading.) Anyways, it’s a sweet little browser. Light weight, fast, looks great and all around nice to use. However, without spell check, it hardly gets used on my computer. The developers know that spell check is wanted, […]
