2013 is a mere 13 minutes away. I am sitting on my couch in the house we built in 2012, polishing off a second glass of @diosatequila cafe caramel flavor.
I sense that this year will be a transition for many in the computing world. (Well, hell. When is it not?)
I don’t have many resolutions, except that I want to get more of my creative self back out there in the world. I really need to get it moving. I am not getting any younger.
Here’s a gem.
The overall point of this blog post is:
Bonus:
I have to admit… Google+’s new features make this a really compelling place to hang out for social features. I like the technical approach more and more, but it’s too bad that it’s hard to get people on to it.

After a tremendous ordeal of trying to install OS X Lion on my January 2008 Mac Pro, I finally had a breakthrough. I discovered what appears to be a hardware incompatibility.
To properly tell this story we’ll have to go back in time.
In January of 2008 when this model of Mac Pro was available (version 3.1) it was definitely the cat’s meow. I bought a true boss of a system too. I picked up an 8-core 2.8ghz Mac Pro with 4gb of RAM. Later, I bought some third party RAM from Crucial to stuff it to the brim with 32gb.
Description of Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3
It looks like Exchange 2007 SP3 RU4 has a lot of goodies in it. At least 5 of the items in this list are impacting the environment at my day job.

It’s brutally important that you understand this article if you support Exchange 2007 or 2010.

Since today appears to be National Pile on RIM Day, I thought I would add a little fuel to the fire.
I see a lot of people talking about the Playbook, the devices and the terrible mobile device experience that RIM has brought to table in contrast to the sleek, new offerings from the competition. I do not disagree with anything that has been said in that area. It’s sad to see a once-mighty company implode the way they are, but given the leadership of the two CEOs in power there, it’s really not a surprise. I also noted that RIM thinks of their ecosystem in a backwards fashion from Apple: the corporate device usage drives the home device choices.

If you’re not familiar with Dropbox by now, you should be. Dropbox is what MobileMe‘s iDisk aspires to be one day. For now, it isn’t.
For the uninitiated, Dropbox is a fantastic cross-platform bit of code that synchronizes files across all of your computers. It also provides a look into the folders via a web browser if you should need it. They also offer an iPad app that allows you to browse and download files to local applications such as Pages.
Have you heard of Yammer? If not, you will.
You will likely hear about Yammer after your corporation or business signs a deal with them. Your users will start to flock toward the service and sign up. Lo and behold you will discover that they will be offered a piece of software to install. During the software install they will have the option to invite other users in your organization.
