[ music | Lady Gaga – I Like It Rough ] I’m lucky enough to have AT&T Fiber for gigabit internet, and while the rest of my network stack in the house is Cisco Meraki, I can’t afford an MX250 to use the whole pipe, or even an MX100 for 75%. Used to use a […]
I had a customer who upgraded to an SSD in his MacBook Pro, and had heard about VMware Fusion. Not by name, but by feature, from a friend. “He can run his Windows right along side his Mac.” He had a Boot Camp installation and VMware Fusion helpfully can import that. However, after VMware Tools […]
[ music | Styx – Fooling Yourself ] Initially I blew off the Boot 2 Gecko initiative (now Firefox OS or something close to that) as unnecessary and pointless. I freely admit I was wrong. It’s actually a good idea, I like the idea, and I hope it works well. that said, I still think […]
[ music | Styx – Show Me The Way ] I heard about the Meebo bar via this Gizmodo article about it, and how Boston.com killed it within 48 hours. Well, the AJC here in Atlanta has begun using it now too. It’s crap, but I use Firefox which makes getting rid of it easy. […]

As a precautionary measure, we have reset your password and […]
[ music | Sheryl Crow – My Favorite Mistake ] I had a call a few weeks ago. So far my absolute favorite call. A customer calls, and I’m walking them through various things, and I have to tell them to type in a specific string of letters and numbers. One of the characters was […]
[ music | Morningwood – Easy ] Want an old manual typewriter that you can hook up to a PC and be both retro-mod and cyberpunk at the same time? Let me know. I happen to have access to an old Underwood manual and a Smith Corona manual, both in excellent shape with their cases […]
[ music | Franz Ferdinand – You Could Have It So Much Better ] It’s spring, and time to cause panic! But rather than postulate about igniting the atmosphere with those new fangled atomic weapons, I’m just going to make my Dreamhost promocode doubly sweet. The discount is now twice what it was, $50 off […]
