  • Google Goes Sesame Street

    I’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.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.

    6 Nov 2009 | 8:45 pm
    My 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…

    Why 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

    It 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 pm
    As 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…

  • iPhone's GUI

    Nathanael
    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?

  • Just Did The Vista To Windows 7 Upgrade

    JT
    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.

    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…

    Earlier this year, I had posted a hack for making free phone calls with Google Voice, Gizmo, and Asterisk.

    I 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…

    xdRequest 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.

    5 Nov 2009 | 8:45 pm
    Image 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 pm
    Image 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.

    Image 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…

    19 Oct 2009 | 4:13 pm
    Below 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.

  • Why You Need Anecdotal Evidence

    Roy Leban
    29 Oct 2009 | 11:44 am
    Have 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?

    Roy Leban
    25 Oct 2009 | 11:23 am
    In 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. Initially, he denied that he was making money off the initiatives that…

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.

    It 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?

    Roy Leban
    10 Oct 2009 | 6:06 pm
    Comcast 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.

    A 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).

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!
