Welcome IE7 & Firefox 2

27 Oct, 2006

This week not one, but two big browsers made major upgrades. I’ve gotten a change to play with both and I think everyone is on the right track, some just a wee bit behind. IE7 has been a long time coming. I think they said IE6 was released 5 years ago or so? Anyways, the […]

Apple Support is Amazing

19 Oct, 2006

I know I just wrote about how happy I was with my Apple Store Support experience, but I have to write a follow up. I just keeps getting better. Less than 24 hours after I took the iMac G5 in, it’s now home and working great. It got it’s hard drive replaced, it’s logic board […]

Apple Stores are Brilliant

18 Oct, 2006

As I stand here in the Southdale Apple Store, I can’t but think about how great it was that Apple brought products and support to the people. You can’t get this kind of support over the phone. So what happened? Well my hard drive gave out this morning on my iMac G5. I immediately tried […]

Larry the Cable Guy : Health Inspector

15 Oct, 2006

We rented Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector over the weekend and found it to be quite enjoyable. I think that all the bad reviews got our hopes down and when you go into a movie not expecting much, it turns out to be better than you expected. It was funny and worth our rent. […]

Pickin’ Apple and A-maze-ing Corn

8 Oct, 2006

We enjoyed a few fall festivities over the weekend. We went to Deardorff Orchards, an apple orchard just down the road from us and picked our own apples. It was a beautiful day and just being outside enjoying the fall day was great. We also got some great apples and went for a wagon ride. […]

Flock wants to know what we, the users, think. In a post titled ‘Your Top 10 Issues/Concerns‘ they are asking people to voice their issues. Here are mine. 🙂 No Cocoa Widgets on a Mac. (This one is a wish.) MacUpdate listing description is awful. When a feed is loaded from the sidebar and I […]

HalloFF Halloween Theme for Firefox 1.5.x – Testing

6 Oct, 2006

A while ago I posted about a Halloween theme I found on Deviantart. It was a port of my Hallo Halloween theme from MacOSX to Firefox. It looked pretty good, until I installed it. Then it was lacking in many areas. So, I reworked it and am now tesing HalloFF, my Halloween Firefox theme. HalloFF […]

Now 14.7% More IE Friendly

5 Oct, 2006

Blog on a stick is now 14.7% friendlier to our IE visitors. I removed a script that allowed IE to actually render transparent PNG’s with transparent backgrounds. It seemed to be slowing down the blog for those users and I didn’t like that. So it’s gone. Instead, you get to see an ugly background on […]

Halloween Desktops & Wallpaper

1 Oct, 2006

It’s that time of year again when ghosts and goblins become ‘in’ and pumpkins get faces. Ahh yes, it’s Halloween time! A few years ago I created a Halloween Desktop page and they are still available today. However, I’m considering creating some new, larger, desktop wallpaper designs for this year. Nothing over the top, just […]
