Google Goes Sesame Street
6 Nov 2009 | 2:57 amI’m sure you’ve noticed by now that Google is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street this week. A few days ago, Big Bird graced the famous search engine’s page. Next up was the Cookie Monster!! (Who doesn’t love cookies?). Today, I see Bert and Ernie smiling out at me. What’s up next? Will we see Elmo tomorrow? Personally, I vote for Grover. Grover was always my favorite. While it’s whimsical and fun to remember our childhoods every time we load Google, some people are quite upset over this celebration. One of our community members… -
Walmart Coupons
6 Nov 2009 | 12:58 amWalmart.com is now offering pre-orders of the Top Ten Upcoming DVDs for only $9.99 each + Free Shipping. Titles include Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, Angels and Demons, Terminator Salvation, Star Trek, Night at The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Four Christmases and more. Amazon has the same preorder movies for a penny more, but you have to purchase at least $25 to get Free Shipping. Of course you don’t have to pay sales tax in most states, while you do with Walmart. Unfortunately in Washington state we have to pay sales tax at Amazon, so Walmart is the better deal for me. -

Who Loves Windows Vista?
5 Nov 2009 | 9:26 pmAdd to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed During a recent live call, Charles nearly knocked me out of my chair when he proclaimed that he LOVES Windows Vista. I was honestly shocked, especially since the calls were supposed to be about Windows 7. Charles stated emphatically that he never had issues with Vista, and that it actually just worked for him. He fully admits that he may be the only person in his entire town – or state! – who feels this way. We did, of course, end up discussing his views on Windows 7, and about Microsoft in general. I feel that Windows… -
Phil Plait – Active Skepticism Online
4 Nov 2009 | 11:10 pmAdd to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Phil talked to us about science communication online, and how the “new” (now teenaged, in more ways than one) media has affected it. Specifically how instant info – passed on Twitter – can actually make misinformation spread faster than good info, and how freaking hard it is to clean up once that happens. Phil Plait is an astronomer, author, blogger, and skeptic… which means you better have some good evidence for any claims you make to him! In fact, Phil is the President of the James Randi Educational… -

The Fort Hood Incident: Slight Discrepancies
6 Nov 2009 | 8:45 pmMy sympathies and best wishes go out to those who lost someone in the Fort Hood shooting. It was a needless tragedy (like Iraq). This event was yet another study in press coverage. It is said that one needs to note everything that first appears in the press because after that, the spin gets applied. The reason I bring this up is because I have heard and read several conflicting reports: there was one shooter there were three shooters the shooter was dead the shooter was alive Now, it should be fairly obvious to most people that there is rather a large difference between one and three… -
Karmic 9.10 Dell Ubuntu and BIOS
6 Nov 2009 | 8:20 pmWhy not cover all the bases in one post, I figured…. The first thing I noticed is that my Dell laptop (Latitude D531) was more difficult to see. It looked as if the laptop thought it was on battery and had dimmed the display, but worse. Last night I tried to live with it, hoping a reboot would cure the issue (have I been using Windows too long?). Tonight it appeared even more dim (kinda like some of my coworkers). I recently went from Xubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 but did a fresh install to take advantage of the 64 bit version (you can’t upgrade from 32 to 64 bit). I wondered if… -
Google Chrome Shipping On Some OEM PCs
6 Nov 2009 | 5:17 pmIt seems as though Microsoft is getting the bump by some manufacturers here in the U.S,, as Sony, for one, is shipping its VAIO notebooks with Chrome as the default browser. Everyone who reads certainly must know by now that Internet Exploder is the slowest of the most used browsers, and it has only been in recent memory that it could make any sort of claim as being somewhat safe. Internet Exploder 8 had been sped up by a fair amount over IE7, but has recently lost ground due to reliability fixes sent out in the last 30 days. Though that may be true, I don’t think many expected Chrome… -
As Of October 2009 Windows XP Still At 70%
6 Nov 2009 | 3:35 pmAs technology writers, bloggers and just about everyone who is interested in computers write all about the new operating system from Microsoft known as Windows 7, we fail to remember that good old reliable Windows XP still is the operating system of choice. Consumers are holding on to Windows XP, some even proclaiming that XP will need to be pried out of their dying hands. So when I read an article over at Arstechnica about Windows 7 beating out Snow Leopard and Linux, the number that caught my attention was the one that had Windows XP use pegged at 70.48%. So why do people continue to love…

I've got news, it ain't pretty.
If you think that this internet thing is all that and a bag of chips for Democracy, get off on your'e crack high and smell the coffee, it ain't Starbucks, you should be so lucky. I've done the ultimate testing. As far as a" democratic" internet experience there is patently no such thing. I did the "red herring" thing and they failed the test miserably. I have nothing to hide, but that doesn't mean you do. All your stuff on Twitter and Facebook et all is public domain. Realize this, as "agencies" will use this to their convenience and your determent. (Never mind employers present and future.)… -
iPhone's GUI
As much as I love my iPhone I'm starting to think maybe Apple should invest in revamping iPhone OS's GUI. It's just with the advent of Web OS and Android, iPhone OS seems a bit...Well dated and clunky. You can't even put a picture as your desktop wallpaper :/ I don't know I think they should maybe give the iPhone more of an OS X like GUI. Something else besides the black background filled with App icons. Some people may like it and in all honesty it doesn't bother me TOO much, but still I think Apple could update it and make it better, nothing wrong with making something better right? -

MacBook Aluminum For MacBook Pro?
Hello there, I have been offered to trade my MacBook Aluminum Unibody for a PREVIOUS Generation MacBook Pro (Not Unibody). MacBook: (5,1) A1278 4GB RAM 2.0 GHz 160 GB HDD MacBook Pro: (4,1) A1260 2GB RAM (I will most likely upgrade it) 2.4 GHz ??? GB HDD (At least 200 GB) PLUS I will get the backlit keyboard, 15 inch display with 1440x900 instead of 13.3 1280x800. So what do you guys think? Its just a trade, I'm really nervous because I don't know if I will miss my MacBook. I would like some opinions on this please. :) Thanks bye bye.

Just Did The Vista To Windows 7 Upgrade
I was pretty surprised. I went smoothly. It did take almost 4 hours (because of all of the applications and files I have). I'm using the machine right now and it is a lot faster than when I had Vista Ultimate 64 installed. Now only time will tell. The machine I upgraded is an HP e9150t with 12 GB of RAM and 1.5 TB Hard Drive with an I7 Intel Processor What I mean is that after a person uses a machine for a while they tend to slow down. I do have all of the tools to tweak and cleanup with. So, we will see. -
If You're Thinking of Staying on Windows Vista, Read This!
I was one of those people who had said "why upgrade"? I liked Windows Vista, it simply worked for me. There were people said that I obviously didn't do anything with my computer. Well that's not true. I did do a lot with Windows Vista, and I have to say it worked. There were occasionally a few programs that would simply not install with Windows Vista. For example TeamViewer worked fine with Windows XP, but not Vista. Yesterday, I got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I performed a clean install, and guess what? Everything worked flawlessly. It took about twenty minutes to format and install. Started… -

Apple Finally fighting back against hackintoshers?
If you haven't noticed, a LOT of people use hackintoshes, or are interested in it. If you talk in #chris on GeekShed, you are well aware of the hackintosh scene, "what is eula" may possibly be on the of the most used commands other than "!rules" and "what is spam", In fact, I have a hackintosh laptop myself. I have a Dell XPS M140 that is currently running Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8, And I love it! In a recent dev build of Snow Leopard, people found out that apple removed support for the Intel Atom Processor, which is not inside of any apple products, but IS inside of many netbooks that are… -

The Geeks and Tech of Mad Men
3 Nov 2009 | 11:32 amThis device isn't a spaceship, its a time machine. It goes backwards and forwards... It takes us to a place where we ache to go again. Its not called "the wheel", its called "The Carousel". It lets us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and then back home again to a place where we know we are loved."~ Don Draper doing the presentation for the Kodak Carousel slide projectorI love this scene from AMC's show Mad Men Season 2 not only because it shows Don's genius with advertising and presentation, but it really shows the impact that technology can have on our lives and families. -
My Uncle The Spy (Part III)
26 Oct 2009 | 11:15 am"That last catch was swell Neil!"A young guy in a letter jacket opened the door of the old bar in the industrial section of Trussville, Alabama. "Yea, but it was your great block on that running back that cleared the path!", Neil Self said as they all paused in the open doorway. Neil had always been stocky, tough looking, and also fast, a combination that was usually deadly to the opposing team in the game of high school football. Tonight he wore his letter jacket just like all the other guys. "Ladies first!" Neil jokingly said as he shoved his friend inside the dimly lit room. It was a… -
My Uncle The Spy (Part II)
25 Oct 2009 | 1:57 pmOutskirts of West Berlin, West Germany10:37 pm August 30th, 1961The stench of diesel exhaust filled the air. It had snowed the day before and the streets were still icy. Smokey clouds of CO2 puffed out of the exhaust pipes from the convoy of US Army supply trucks that sat idling on the old cobblestone streets. A few yards ahead, a blockade of spiraled razor wire and torn up streets impeded the movement of the trucks filled with vital humanitarian supplies for the recently over run Communist East Berlin."What's taking so long?" Sargent Neil Self muttered to himself as he sat in the cab of the… -
My Uncle The Spy (Part I)
21 Oct 2009 | 9:56 am"(Important) families are like potatoes. The best parts are underground."-- Francis BaconSo it was with my uncle Neil...He passed away a few years ago of a heart condition (that seems to run in our family) and I couldn't make it to his funeral that day for some insignificant reason or another. I've always felt bad for not going and not getting to see him the last few days of his life (but more about that later). Then before my aunt passed away last year of Parkinson's she gave our family some of the few remaining possessions that my uncle had kept around for a few years stored in a back… -

Make Free Phone Calls with Google Voice, Gizmo, and Orgasmatron V: Google Voice Edition
1 Nov 2009 | 10:59 amEarlier this year, I had posted a hack for making free phone calls with Google Voice, Gizmo, and Asterisk. Since then, Google closed the door on inbound SIP calls and thus the hack no longer works. Fortunately a new possibility has emerged that makes it possible once again. Nerd Vittles has put together another great hack for making free calls with Google Voice and Asterisk: Orgasmatron V, Google Voice Edition. It makes use of an Asterisk Linux distribution called PBX in a Flash. After installing PBX in a Flash, you download and run the Orgasmatron V script, and you have a fully-functional… -
5 Reasons Google Wave Is Not Ready
24 Oct 2009 | 12:07 pmI was fortunate enough to receive an invitation into Google Wave shortly after the initial 100,000 invititations went out last month. Initially, I was a bit overwhelmed and did not really know where to begin or what to do. Bwana was kind enough to engage in a real-time wave with me, and show me around a bit. Afterwards, I began to see the potential. However, I think there are many reasons why Google Wave still is not ready for prime-time. Lack of Access Control Google Wave does not have any sort of access control for managing waves and wave participants: Anyone can be added to a wave by a… -
Make Cross-Domain AJAX Requests with xdRequest
15 Oct 2009 | 12:03 pmxdRequest is an open-source JavaScript library that I’ve developed for making cross-domain AJAX requests. In this day and age, with web browsers becoming very fast and powerful, it has become quite possible to build web applications with much of the work performed by the client. xdRequest makes it possible to easily pull data from other sources and manipulate it all on the client-side. With xdRequest, you will no longer need to perform data extractions/manipulations from other sources on a server. It can all happen right in the browser. I had recently been fooling around quite a bit… -
There Is No Undo in Google Wave
2 Oct 2009 | 9:17 amMy good friend Bwana was kind enough to nominate me for Google Wave, and I finally received the invitation yesterday. With all the hype surrounding Google Wave, you may be surprised to learn that it still lacks one very simple piece of functionality that one might take for granted until it’s gone: Undo. There is no undo in Google Wave! Can you believe it?!? I’m not sure how Google could forget to include undo. I suppose it happened the same way that Apple forgot to include copy/paste on the iPhone. So what does the lack of undo functionality say about the product? It must really… -
10 Amusing Tweets about Google Wave Invitations
30 Sep 2009 | 8:31 amThe web is abuzz about the 100,000 Google Wave invitations going out today. Be sure that the social networks are no exception. There are thousands of people on Twitter begging for Google Wave invitations, some of which are quite amusing. I’ve put together a list of my top 10 favorites Tweets. Some are requests to perform amusing acts to obtain an invite. Others are just witty commentary. Enjoy! toiletscribble: Someone…anyone…invite me to google wave and I will have your baby paulgodfrey: I’ve got an extra kidney sitting around and one of you has an…

Pushing Your Luck
6 Nov 2009 | 8:39 pmImage by programwitch via Flickr More and more television networks are having a harder time getting people to watch their shows. Coupling this with the fact that there are many facets for the same data online, they are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to the attention of the average viewer. A quick tip: If people are actually watching your news show, don’t tell them to go check it out on your website. Your staff are basically asserting that they are middlemen and therefore unnecessary. Say it enough times during your scripted shows and people dump their cable/satellite… -
Don’t Force It
5 Nov 2009 | 8:45 pmImage by luc legay via Flickr It is understandable that you want people to consume your content and then share it with all their friends. It is also quite considerate of you to try your best to make the process easier, by adding sharing methods directly to your content. The “social” toolbars that are showing up with great frequency lately however, may not be the best route to take to accomplish this. Many of these toolbars are full of chunky code and just make a decent number of visitors leave the site before it finishes loading. Many of these toolbars are, for lack of… -
I Can’t Jump Either
4 Nov 2009 | 8:10 pmImage by Getty Images via Daylife I have played video games religiously for years. Any console that has come out since I was born (and one which was released right before), I have spent some quality time with one of its controllers in my hand. The funniest bit about all this gaming, is that up until the expansion of gameplay, I have been a pretty terrible player. In the side scroller days I was doomed to not only just donating quarters to the cause, but I am also well aware of just how every one of those villains had that cackle when you fell off the cliff. I can’t jump worth a… -

Reformed
2 Nov 2009 | 7:16 pmImage via Wikipedia Not too long ago I would have described myself as what is affectionately called an early adopter. Very little made my day more than having a nice new service or piece of software to play with before anyone else. I thoroughly enjoyed having stacks of beta invites in my inbox just itching to be clicked and consumed. It was a glorious time, and there was very little better than showing off my new toys to my friends. Even when I was knee deep in newness, at some point it became taxing to keep starting over. Once where I was overjoyed to build something new, it felt like a…

SQL Server Nightly Backup Script
19 Oct 2009 | 4:13 pmBelow is a Microsoft SQL Server script that I use to create nightly backups. The backups (.BAK files) can be copied to hard drive, tape, or remote storage to satisfy your disaster recovery requirements. The script requires two (2) modifications - first change the ‘master_backup_dir’ variable to the path on your server that you would like the backups stored and second update the ‘retain_day’ variable to the number of days you wish to retain the backups on physical disk prior to removal. Configure the SQL Agent to run a nightly job with a single step that executes the… -

Twitter Strategy in the Workplace
2 Jul 2009 | 2:56 amEmployees tweet at work just as they use instant messaging services assuming your company doesn’t have a policy prohibiting them said usage. So here is my views on how to harness Twitter in the workplace: Define a strategy for your company, just as we have done! I believe transparency is important so here are excerpts from the concepts behind the strategy we are implementing at Juxt Interactive along with explanations of the driving factors behind our approach. Have each and every individual that wants to use twitter at work to benefit the company determine their voice. How will they… -
The making of a ringtone generator
7 Jun 2009 | 7:26 pm**Note, before you read this scroll down and click the ‘preview’ button to pause the application while you read this article. The preview button is located to the right of the pan & volume. In late 2008 Coca-Cola asked Juxt to create a ringtone generator for their Sprite brand. The concept was fairly fairly straight forward, create an engaging rich media campaign for Sprite that would supplement and drive additional traffic to their under the cap program. The under the cap program gives participants a digital prize on their mobile phone every time they text a cap code found…

Why You Need Anecdotal Evidence
29 Oct 2009 | 11:44 amHave you ever heard the phrase "That's just anecdotal"? Usually, it's used to discount somebody's opinion about the way something should be. In UX terms, if you've observed a user, saw them have a problem, and want to respond to what you saw, you may have someone tell you it's just anecdotal -- in other words, you don't have hard, objective, statistical evidence, so forget it. But there's a contradiction here. There's a belief that, if you gather enough anecdotal evidence, it magically becomes hard evidence. You can even see this in the latest ad campaign for Windows. Millions of people sent… -
Can UX Swing an Election?
25 Oct 2009 | 11:23 amIn 2000, the infamous "Butterfly Ballot" probably threw the election to George W. Bush, costing Americans more than a trillion dollars and who knows what else. Can it happen again? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Right now, in King County, Washington, an abysmally designed ballot runs the risk of driving the state into the ground. The problem has two parts. First, the State of Washington is unfortunate enough to have an idiot named Tim Eyman who makes his living on proposing initiatives. He doesn't do anything else.

13 Oct 2009 | 10:47 amSuppose you want to go to Tully's. You know how this works. You just go to tullys.com and type in your zip code, perhaps your address, and you'll get a list of nearby Tully's. Or at least that's how it's supposed to work. Give it a try. Can't figure it out? Neither could I. It turns out that there is an entirely separate web site, tullyscoffeeshops.com for that purpose. And tullys.com does not contain a link anywhere to that site. Do they want customers? This is a surprisingly common problem. Usually, it's just sites trying to be too subtle, favoring conforming to some style sheet… -
Does T-Mobile Want To Steal My Identity?
11 Oct 2009 | 10:52 amIt can be hard to tell real companies from scam artists sometimes. I got a call the other day from T-Mobile about my bill. They had overcharged me by $24 and I was late paying the bill because I wanted it fixed (and, in this economy, they call the day after it's due!). The discussion of why they would possibly think I wanted text messaging turned off on my account when I switched from a BlackBerry to a MyTouch is a topic for another post in the future The T-Mobile agent who called me asked for part of my social security number to verify that I was who I said I was. I refused. Hey, you… -
Is Comcast Helping Scammers?
10 Oct 2009 | 6:06 pmComcast wants to fight scammers, but they're inadvertently going to help them. Comcast, like all Internet service providers, is directly impacted by so-called botnets, machines that have been hijacked by viruses and other malware to serve as robots in the service of scammers. The botnets are useful to the scammers because it allows them to send spam and launch attacks from many locations instead of a single location, which makes them much harder to catch and shut down. Comcast's idea is to inflict popup ads on their customers that appear to be compromised. which provide them with information.

6 Nov 2009 | 12:34 pmThe Power of Less — "Practicing the art of less, whether it's agile development, minimalist business plans or spare graphic design, has had a momentum all its own during the rise of Web 2.0," write Jennifer Pahika and Brady Forrest in new O'Reilly Insights on Forbes.com.

Why Speakers Earn $30,000 an Hour - Scott Berkun's Confessions--A Sneak Peek
6 Nov 2009 | 10:17 am"I know I'm paid for something that, in the grand scheme, is not Work." writes Scott Berkun in his new book, Confessions of a Public Speaker.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix comes of age
5 Nov 2009 | 2:08 amA couple of evenings ago I slotted a spare hard drive into my ASUS EEE 1000H, and installed the latest build of Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.10). If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a distribution of Linux purposely designed for small form factor computers. I was very, very impressed. Everything worked immediately. I didn’t have to configure anything. I didn’t have to install any drivers. Here are a few representative screenshots to give you an idea what it looks/works like; Desktop The Ubuntu Netbook Remix window manager is deliberately simple,… -

The mysteries of retrieving SharePoint List Items with K2 blackpoint
30 Oct 2009 | 3:08 amI was building a demo yesterday for the pre-sales team at work, and ran across an interesting problem; with a SharePoint integrated workflow, launching on item creation in a list, I was getting no SharePoint list item ID back. It took quite some time to realise what was going on. The integrated workflow was working perfectly – the XML property bag “SharePoint Item” had all the details of the SharePoint item that kicked the workflow – including it’s ID Stupidly, I was then doing a “Get List Item” to retrieve information – not realising that ALL… -
Optimising the description HTML meta tag in Wordpress
26 Oct 2009 | 2:24 amSomething elementary occurred to me over the weekend about the description html meta-tag at the weekend while fiddling with my personal blog – while using Facebook to link a post.

Here’s how you can do it in Wordpress… Edit the Header template of your theme Make sure something like the following appears in place of the normal description meta tag… <?php $desc =… -
Defeating the Drupal Installation Timeout
24 Oct 2009 | 2:04 pmIf you have tried to install Drupal, or Open Atrium on a hosted web server, it’s likely you have run into the script timeout issue I did, and have no way of changing the php.ini yourself to resolve the problem. I cheated – and this is how I did it. The error you typically get in the error log looks something like; PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in ...... I did a little digging through the code. The error is reported while running a function in file.inc that scans directories. This gets called by the install script while it’s checking that…

TODO & GTD
29 Oct 2009 | 11:30 pmImage by koalazymonkey via Flickr So after about two weeks of using GTD-life-enhancement with “ToDo” on iPhone, Toodledo as online-synch I have some basic thoughts wheher this helped me. You can find the last post about this here: Why using ToDo-Lists and GTD?. GTD only > 2 minutes The first (logical rule) I came across is: never put something you can do in under 2 minutes on a ToDo-list. Do it instantly! This helps resolving loops like “Put the other item on the ToDo-list”, so I guess the rule was made by a computer scientist ;-p … no really: if something is… -

Why using ToDo Lists & GTD?
12 Oct 2009 | 10:21 pmFirst things I wanna put straight: I sometimes have issues keeping track of what I’m supposed to do, when to do it and in which order. Sometimes I heard about GTD on twitter or in blogposts, but when I tried to read into it I thought that I don’t really feel like learning another complicated system for stuff that I can solve with small slips of paper. I always wanted to use my iPhone for ToDo-lists, as I use it for everything else in organisation: contacts, calendar … so why not todo-lists? I feel that I can be doing things faster if I used some kind of organised approach to… -

Sadly, people can’t - and won’t - cope with the truth. Everyday, they build their reality and when something doesn’t fit in, they just find their explanation to make it fit in. “That other way of seeing this is weird.” - “My way is correct” - “I’m not the one with problems here” But when you see someone is plain wrong, what do you tell him? Do you provoke a conflict,… -
