(OLDER) <- More Stuff -> (NEWER)

Articles, Tips, How-To's

Mac OS X and other general computing related topics. Thousands of articles, reviews, consultants listings, skills tests, opinion, how-to's, suggestions and more. This is the Blog section, which always has the newest additions. There is new content daily, most of it exclusive to this site, and all of it is indexed and cross-referenced to help you find what you need. This is not yet another mirror of the Linux LDP or someone else's Unix FAQs. If you've never been here before, there's a lot to explore.

This is the Blog Summary page, which does not display complete articles or comments. See the Full Blog if you prefer that format.

You sounded annoyed

2008/05/12

We were eating dinner when my business phone rang. Ordinarily I'd just let that go to voice mail and call back after finishing up eating, but it just ten to five and I recognized the caller ID as a customer who doen't call with trivial stuff. I hesitated, but figured that he probably had something important and that he'd like to get out of there at five if he could, so I put down my fork and took the call.

A Golf Cart is not a Computer

2008/05/11

I bought a used electric golf cart last year. Unfortunately, this year the darn thing stopped working.

Kerio offers a 30 day full featured demo you can download from http://www.kerio.com/kms_download.html. You can install that on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

My SCO Knowledge (and interest) is fading fast

2008/05/08

The other day someone called me about removing hard drives previously added to the kernel configuration.. my mind went blank.

Using Skitch for support

2008/05/07

Last week I had someone ask a few questions about Kerio Webmail. Nothing serious, just a new user a little confused about how to do certain things. I did get them straightened out, but it took two emails and one brief phone conversation. I wish I'd known about Skitch then.

Did you really lose half a million dollars?

2008/05/04

I was talking to someone about my early business failures and mentioned that my mistakes cost me a little more than $100,000 and that it had taken me quite a few years to dig myself back out from that. My companion exclaimed "That's nothing, dude: I lost more than half a million!"

Linux Lunacy

2008/05/02

After closing off comments at Linux in the long run (I closed them off because nobody was saying anything new), I did receive one final email..

Twitter Types

2008/05/01

I recently started using Twitter, but initially couldn't imagine what all the fuss was about. Apparently there are people using Twitter for different reasons:

If you can't say anything nice..

2008/05/01

I had gotten up early this morning and wandered out to my computer still wearing pajamas. Because it was a little cool, I had thrown on a plaid jacket too. Appararently the combination of pajamas and this jacket was a little startling, because when my wife got up an hour or so later, she burst out laughing upon spotting me. A few moments later she left and then came back carrying a pile of clothes which she requested that I put on "as soon as possible". She then walked off, still chuckling.

Your Mileage May Vary when installing and using Linux

2008/04/29

I was reading the long string of comments at Linux in the long run and noticed a few folks mentioning Linux installation problems. I can sympathize, though I do have to say that most of my Linux installs have been smooth and uneventful.

More than a pretty face

2008/04/28

Recently one of my clients hired someone to design a secondary website. He had mentioned to me that he planned to use this for coupons and other promotions related to his present site and business, so of course I was concerned that his web designers would do a good job. Too many so called "web designers" really are not: they are artistic types who have learned to use something like FrontPage but really don't know much about mechanics and SEO/SEM (Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing). Really designing a true business website today is a lot more than a pretty face and a few keywords stuffed into meta tags.

Do you really want a popular blog?

2008/04/27

OK, raise your hands: how many of you bloggers out there want a popular blog? Ayup, I know: you beg for Diggs and Sphinns, ask your friends to Stumble your post.. you'd love to be able to brag that you had to move to another host because the traffic was just getting overwhelming..

Google adds benchmark comparisons

2008/04/27

Google has recently added benchmark comparisons to Analytics. This could be extremely useful and interesting, but unfortunately is not.. well, perhaps it's just too early; this may get better as more people join.

What's your game?

2008/04/26

A couple of years back I wrote What do you do for a living? and was surprised to learn that I'm not the only person who hates that question.

Internet Anonymity Laws - bad, bad idea

2008/04/25

If you are a regular reader here, you may know that I live in a Massachusetts town that could be hosting an Indian Casino someday. As I'm sure you can imagine, feelings run high on this subject: most townspeople either want the casino or don't care either way, but there is a loud minority who sees it as dangerous and destructive (I'm on the "pro-casino" side, if it matters to you).
