After dilly-dallying for 9 months or so, I finally pulled the trigger on a new monitor, the HP LP2475w, and it arrived today. Initial impressions are pretty good. It’s definitely not as sparkly as the 3007WFP-HC was. That’s good. It’s still wide gamut, so now I have to go find a calibrator to buy. Joy. […]
In a another bout of self-abuse (I should really see someone about this tendency…), I installed OpenSUSE 11 on my desktop at Work. It’s actually pretty slick. The installer looks really nice, and appears to work well. I think all my hardware was actually detected. Actually, the auto-detection worked too well. My mouse ended up […]
As if it wasn’t obnoxious enough already, I’ve decided to convert to saying “… said the nun to the sailor” instead of “that’s what she said.” Sounds more evolved and whatnot.It’s the Raichu version of the phrase.
Yes, I know it’s totally cliche already, but I’m going to comment on Chrome anyways. I think Google has a hit with this one. It’s not even done yet, and I can already consider using it as my primary browser. It’s a great example of putting a lot of thought into a relatively small number […]
I had not used Winamp in ages.. not since college probably. At one point in time, it was what everyone used. It was the only good way to play mp3’s on Windows. Fastforward to today, I just discovered that Winamp has full library management capabilities, and a vastly expanded UI. The UI is actually somewhat […]
I started a thing at work where I keep a kind of TODO list in a text file. It’s a little different from a standard TODO list in that it also has a history of updates for each todo item. It lets me quickly see the list of things that are going on, and what […]
I never really grokked the behavior until now. It seemed like only a subset of my search folders that I created while I was in cached mode were communicated to the server. This meant that whenever I set up a new Outlook client install, not all of my search folders (that I had set up […]
Well, it will never get that bad I suppose, but the more I learn about C#, the more I wonder. C# started life as something similar to Java, but with a little bit more language facilities like delegates. Then they added generics. And now they have LINQ, and Expression stuff which looks like abstract syntax […]
I spent a few hours installing Visual Studio 2008 today, but got into a weird situation when one of the install components hung. When I killed it, I left my system in a weird state, and after a bunch of reinstalling, I could get VS2008 to start, but I couldn’t create an outlook 2007 add-in […]
