Over the past few weeks, I’ve found that the saying “it just works” is about as useful as saying that airplanes “just fly.” It’s an easy thing to say until you have to learn to pilot one. Foreign languages also “just work.” But have you ever tried to learn one? Linux is like that. That’s [...]

Damn it, this shit just pisses me off. Advantage for whom? Translation: We think you’re too stupid to know if you have a legal copy of the Windows operating system you are using and/or we suspect that you are a thief. NOTICE: THIS UPDATE FROM MICROSOFT WILL HELP YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE RUNNING A [...]

So I was reading feeds and I couldn’t help notice that TypePad is offline. It happens. If you need someplace to get those bloggy thoughts out of your head, try my online writing app Writer. You can write to your heart’s content in a distraction-free environment, it saves all of your work for you between [...]

It works with IIS and Apache. All existing [...]

The Flickr Toys are right this way. Have fun!

If you’re here looking for the Mosaic Maker, you’ll find it at http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr. Thanks for dropping by. Have fun!

I’m sure a lot of you are, like myself, a member of Netflix. I love it but I was wondering if it was really worth the expense. Sometimes the DVDs sit on my shelf unwatched for days. Sometimes by the time I receive a DVD I don’t have any interest in watching it anymore. Being [...]
