If you’ve ever used CSS drop down menus and Flash on the same web page, you may have found out that Flash is always on top of the CSS. Well almost always, there is a fix! Macromedia has a good tutorial on how to make a Flash movie with a transparent background. It’s quite easy […]

Portable Applications

  • 1 Mar, 2006

Myself, I haven’t tired this, but it looks cool! Portable applications are just applications that store all your preferences and related files together. It could be on a USB drive, Zip disk or iPod.

Proteus instant messenger has has gone from a paid application to a free application. Proteus can connect to almost any IM service such as Yahoo, Google and MSN. It’s a great idea and this was a cool program a few years ago. That was until I found Adium. Adium does the same thing only it’s […]

I logged into my GooglePages account this morning to see if there were any stats. None that I could find. But I did find the option to mark my Google site as an adult site. I find it interesting that Google allows people to create adult content with their GooglePages tool. I don’t quite understand […]

Goodbye Mr. Jeeves

  • 20 Feb, 2006

It’s sad but true. Probably the thing some people like the most about Ask.com is Jeeves and he is retiring. It’s a forced retirement I think, but still. He can go catch some sun on the beach or look into other career opportunities. He’s got some ideas of what he might do now, but isn’t […]

Way back in the day there was a great game called BurgerTime for a video game system called Intellivision. The idea was that you were a cook and had to make burgers. Basically, just run across the ingredients (bun, lettuce & patty) to make them fall down and create a burger. But, be careful of […]
