Google Chrome

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Quick post, since I haven’t done this in forever (really need to post on http://mini.budy.org more than here).
Google Chrome is awesome, it has it’s moments of frustration, but honestly what browser doesn’t. It’s so simple, and the Omni bar is so awesome (I often forget how awesome it is until I’m forced to use another [...]

Fun/helpful project

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

I haven’t created a fun little project lately, but I have still been playing.
Lately I’ve been into messing around in Drupal and seeing how quickly I can bring an idea to life.
A week or two ago, I sat down for an evening and cobbled together a tool to replace a real life tool I used. [...]

damn iTunes

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

My blog started as a place for me to rant into the ether my gripes with a company, and it seems I have no shortage of gripes lately. I’ve always hated iTunes, I held off for quite some time in using it. I preferred Microsofts Media Player to iTunes as a lesser of two evils. [...]

Sony sucks…

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

I don’t know if I’ve ever posted on here about my laptop before, but I’m going to now. About 2 years ago or so I bought a Sony VGN-TZ170N. I was so excited to get this ultra-light laptop, that didn’t really sacrifice anything except graphics (integrated crappy Intel) in it’s small form factor. I was [...]

Wow…

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

As usual, it’s been a long time. I’ve been pretty busy, but it’s been a nice kind of busy. I started my own web development shop, Heavy Robot, at the beginning of 2009 and have been doing nicely. I’m very much enjoying running my own shop. I’ve also had a couple vacations, my sister had [...]

‘ello ‘ello…

Monday, September 1st, 2008

It’s been a while since I posted last. Try (again) to get this going. I have been more or less pleasantly busy over the past couple months in both my professional and personal lives. Professionally we’ve had plenty of work to keep us busy and personally my wife and I have been trying to eek [...]

the great downgrade…

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

The journey back to XP has begun. I have traveled numerous times to the land of Vista and it’s many hamlets (Ultimate, Home, Business, etc.) and have not been impressed. They have some fancy shiney buildings here and there, and occasionally you run into areas where they’ve figured out a new way to work better [...]

1-0 Vista vs. Me

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Well I was trying not to blog again until I was able to get my laptop retro-fitted with XP. I tried two different installs to get XP working on my VAIO, but was unable to get my Bluetooth working in either scenario. So I’ve gone back to the factory install of Vista for the time [...]

back from vacation, and I still hate Vista

Friday, March 21st, 2008

I just returned from Hawaii (Oahu/Waikiki) and had a lot of fun. I’ll post more on that later, but for now I think this is going to be my last post from Vista. Below is a post I wrote up while on vacation, but I had problems connecting to the Internet due to Vista so [...]

singularity, in conference form

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Ran across mention of this conference today.

This sounds pretty interesting and exciting as far as conferences go. Having all sessions recorded and cataloged for later viewing sounds very useful, no more missing out on a session because there were too many good ones at the same time. I also like the idea of this local [...]
