Flock Dock Desktop Picture

  • 22 Aug, 2006

Check out the new Flock Dock desktop picture. It’s my way of spreading the word of Flock and adding to the Flock community. The idea behind the desktop picture is to be clean and easy on the eyes. It also has a gray area at the bottom for those of you running a Mac and […]

The Joy of Two Shoes

  • 19 Aug, 2006

This weekend marks the first time since May that my wife has been able to wear two shoes!  How exciting is that.  Her ankle is not fully healed yet, however she’s now starting to walk on it and doing great.  No crutches no boot.  We also went for a short drive and she did excellent! […]

Now Using OpenDNS

  • 18 Aug, 2006

I’m not sure why, but I bought into the hype. OpenDNS is a free service that claims to make the internet better. It’s safer as it warns against phishing attacks, supposedly speeds up my connection and is smarter about a few domain typos. It’s quick and easy to setup as long as you have access […]

Parallels + Ubuntu = Kernel Panic

  • 15 Aug, 2006

I don’t know how people do it, but I’ve tried to install Ubuntu (Linux) over a dozen times in Paralles and it doesn’t work. The last time, my iMac ended up with a kernel panic. I have downloaded Ubuntu 6.06 (99% sure it is the right version), I upgraded my memory so now I have […]

Goodbye VoodooPad Lite, Hello Journler

  • 9 Aug, 2006

It wasn’t long ago when I was researching ‘junk drawer’ type applications. I wanted something to keep track of all my random information. Blog posts, images, URLs, notes and whatever else. My research ended with VoodooPad Lite; until now. Browsing MacUpdate, I came across Journler and I’ve never seen such a great application, especially for […]

WWDC Aftermath, Little Shock & Awe

  • 7 Aug, 2006

Well WWDC Apple announcements are over and what are we left with? Some cool stuff, but nothing earth shattering in my mind. New Mac Pro’s do sound sweet, but I’m not in need of a Pro machine. My iMac works wonders! New Xserves too, again, not my area of expertise. The Leopard features were not […]

WWDC’s Here

  • 7 Aug, 2006

Well today is the big WWDC! Apples day to shine with new product and software announcements. But what can we expect? Well the only thing we know for sure is Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) will be previewed. We’ll get to see some of the 100+ new features. There is always over 100 new features so […]

AttachmentReminder – Never Forget Attachments

  • 6 Aug, 2006

AttachmentReminder is quite possibly one of the most useful extensions for Thunderbird. What it does is allows you to add keywords that relate to attachments and, on send, if it finds one of those keywords, but no attachment, it’ll warn you. I simply have attach in AttachmentReminder’s keyword list and anytime any word contains attach, […]

Screw You Too Adobe

  • 2 Aug, 2006

I’m very unhappy with Adobe right now. I called yesterday and asked them if Adobe Acrobat Standard could convert Word documents to PDFs on a Mac and keep all images and clickable links. They said yes so the program was bought. However, none of my documents contain clickable links after they’ve been converted from Word […]
