I just got a new computer running windows 7 and so far, it’s a pretty great operating system. I’ve found a few annoyances but always some clever person has already come up with a fix. Case in point: I’m used to the xp behaviour of windows explorer where it shows you in the status bar [...]

Great blog post from vmware on how you can take your xp install along with you on a new windows 7 machine. What’s even better? The method uses two free vmware products. I love it when companies provide real solutions and aren’t trying to sell you something. I guess parallels has a similar product selling [...] MoreCowbell.dj is an awesome web app for adding more cowbell (and Christopher Walken) to songs which are deficient in it.

I doubt very much this is true but regardless, it’s ridiculous… Via cnet Matt Mullenweg’s “State of the Word” presentation makes a nice counterpoint to the Dries drupal keynote.

WordPress 3 is looking to change all that and could soon be eating drupal’s lunch. It [...] I’ve always thought greasemonkey had a lot of potential but I don’t really use it for much. I’m always pleased when I find a really useful user script for it. I love this script which adds rotten tomatoes ratings on imdb pages. Every week, I go through the new dvd lists at the library trying [...] It never ceases to annoy me when a big company acquires a small company with some promising technology and then promptly kills it on the premise they may eventually incorporate it into some product which may or may not eventually be worth a damn (Chrome OS in this case). Bumptop was something which was clearly [...] |
