Where's that stupid button again?!?!?!?

There are a number of things that drive me crazy about technology and gadgets, but one of the biggest is the lack of standards On the expensive and annoying end of this is how device manufacturers (e.g. cell-phone, music player, etc.) all seem to have their own form-factor for adaptors and accessories...

a slightly misleading demo experience

I was shopping around for a new PC this weekend and was playing with the ones on display at Best Buy, Costco, etc. and noticed something funny - none of them had UAC enabled (this is the technology that sparked Apple's "cancel/confirm" Mac/PC ad). I can only assume that a decently high...

Unexpected drawbacks of having your calendar on your phone

One of the best aspects of the SmartPhone is the fact that it has your calendar on it synced from Exchange. This means there's no more walking around the hallways wondering what conference room a meeting is taking place - or a mad rush back to your office to look it up before showing up late. If you...

My computer now has a mind of it's own...

When Linux Advocates Strike

Then night before our flights out, we met up with a couple of Clodagh's friends at a pub in Dublin ( Porterhouse ) for a pint or two and some catching up. Partway into the night,...

Sometimes customer service gives OK advice

Update on the cable-modem situation. I ended up getting a new Motorola last week and it has actually allowed me to get faster connection speeds. Who knew!?!?!? Also, I haven't had problems with the connection being down - but I'm unconvinced that's completely because of the new cable-modem rather than...

Software you should own (maybe)

I finally broke down this week and bought a copy of Partion Commander (I was actually looking for Partition Magic , but the store didn't carry it). I was trying to resize the partition on my hard drive so that I could install another version of Windows on the new partition. It's something that I find...

Random spurts of RSS feed from MSN My Spaces are driving me crazy

As I mentioned before I've started using RSS readers to keep track of a few sites, including some of my friends' blogs. So far bloglines has held up pretty well, but I've noticed that a couple of the sites have started exhibitng a strange behavior in the last couple weeks. All of which are MSN Spaces...

Intro to RSS, or at least for me

If you're reading this blog then you've probably heard of RSS (my feed is here ) and have an aggregator program that you use regularly. Or, you're not using it because there's something that annoys you with how these programs generally work... I've actually been ignoring the existance of RSS readers...
