It seems like every friend of mine that works in IT has entered a bit of a professional funk of late; mayhaps myself is included in that observation.
There’s a whole lot of burnout going on out there and not much being done to combat it. Not withstanding the fact that IT is one of [...]

This is one of those blog posts that reminds everyone I haven’t passed away. I’ve been incredibly busy at work - pushing way too hard and getting way too exhausted. Don’t worry, my biorhythms will take a downturn soon and I’ll be back at it just as before, I’m sure.
…*thunk*… zzzzZzzZZz….

This is definitely the kind of day I’ve had.

While I have a general distaste for the idea of running multiple websites with multiple focuses, I find that the PodPress plugin is forcing me into a untenable situation with this website. If you were unlucky enough to pop on here at around 11pm Central tonight, you might have been somewhat frightened in that [...]

Some of the #morphixers may find this hard to believe, but I’m not going to defend Apple on this latest round of controversy.
Trying to sell your browser by suddenly including it in the newest autoupdate procedure for Windows users was a bad move. It reeks of that “unfriendly neighbor” feel like Microsoft forcing IE4 [...]

I feel like I can always count on episodes of Lost that are centered on Jin and Sun to bring tears to my eyes. There’s a subtle, consistent thread that exists about these two; they are figures of traditional tragedy, especially tonight.
Okie, that’s all I’ll say plot-wise, because I know some of you may [...]

Here’s a late night pondering for you as I traipse off to bed.
Ask yourself: does the subject matter of a blog control what browser share you’re likely to experience on your site?
Given the stats that I’m getting, I can say (without much of a doubt) that yes, that’s true…

Ah, that line. What sweet memories it brings back.
^dRkRaVN was our eggdrop bot on the EFNet channel #alabama back in the late 80’s, early 90’s. I think I have the timeline right. Anyway, we ruled that channel with an iron fist, one that you often found crammed up your virtual backside if [...]

It’s pretty amazing how far behind I’ve gotten in web creation technology.  I’ve been spending some time with Adobe CS3 and I’m finding out just how much of this thing has passed me by.  I’d say… quite a bit has passed me by.  I guess I’ve had my head down working on server stuff for [...]

iTWire - From Windows to Linux - and back again
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… the battle for the corporate desktop is fought at home. Microsoft has known this for a long time - Apple knows it too. That’s why Apple is sneaking up on Microsoft and they’re just not paying [...]
