Mac OS 10.5 Leopard – Bad Kitty Cat

  • 9 Nov, 2007

To my surprise today, I filled up my hard drive. I had less than 500MB left! Shocked, I quickly tried to find out why as it didn’t make any sense. Then I saw it. After installing Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, via an archive and install, it seems he left behind a ‘Previous Systems’ folder. That […]

New Gmail Has Arrived

A new version of Gmail is available. The only thing different I can see is a robust address book. It also warns users if they have Firebug enabled. Yikes! Have you seen any other improvements or changes? Check your Gmail account now and you’ll know if your in the new version if in the upper […]

Whoops, I just sent like 400 StumbleUpon Friend Requests

  • 2 Nov, 2007

It seems that StumbleUpon can connect to your Gmail account and auto-magically connect you with those that have StumbleUpon accounts. I thought that was cool so I did it. I didn’t realize that it was also sending invites to all those in my address book that weren’t on StumbleUpon. Since I have 419 random emails […]

Is GIMP cool or lame?

  • 30 Oct, 2007

I’m a big fan of open source, or alternative, software. I’m not a fan of paying hundreds of dollars for an application. Needless to say I’m not a big fan of Microsoft or Adobe. So what’s a good open source graphic design application? I’ve tried a lot of programs and now I’m looking at GIMP. […]

Now on Mac OS 10.5 Leopard!

  • 27 Oct, 2007

I stood in line last night like a good Apple geek to get Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard and a free t-shirt! I installed it this morning and it’s running great. I did the archive and install option and it’s all wonderful. I love the new dock and the rounded corners on the menus. Small things […]

iPox Halloween Costume

  • 12 Oct, 2007

Are you one of the many fans of the iPox Firefox theme? Well I’ve got a treat for you. I created a quick Halloween costume for iPox. It’s a few tweaks to create a black menu & address bar along with an orange bookmarks bar and a green tab bar. Kinda spooky right? // Image […]

Mac Like Firefox Themes

  • 11 Oct, 2007

If you’ve ever wanted a good Firefox theme to match the look of your Mac a bit more, there are lots of developers out there trying to make this happen. The best one, if you are actually on a Mac, is probably GrApple by Aronnax. His attention to detail is amazing. Other good choices are […]

Sweet Look of Google Analytics on AIR

  • 27 Sep, 2007

Google Analytics is a great program, but add in Adobe AIR and it becomes even better with the Google Analytics Reporting Suite module. It’s a stand alone application that gives you direct access into your Google Analytics account with a few great features thrown in. The first thing I love is the ability to have […]

Upgraded to WordPress 2.3 Smoothly

  • 26 Sep, 2007

I took the jump to WordPress 2.3 tonight and I don’t seem to see any issues.  Do you see any?  If you do, post them below or email them to me. The upgrade was painless and all my Ultimate Tag Warrior tags imported beautifully.  Thanks to LifeSpy for the run down on how-to get them […]

SpamAssassin Research & Battle

  • 24 Sep, 2007

I’ve been doing a lot of spam research lately and trying to figure out why certain email messages were being tagged as [Spam] in the subject line and others weren’t. Now, this isn’t your typical spam, it’s legit emails and ones that shouldn’t be marked. All the obvious items were checked into and no issues […]
