I’ve upgraded to a Palm Centro with Sprint, thus moving into the 21st century, or so my kids and wife tell me. One would think someone as involved with computers as I am would be OK with phone devices, but I’ve resisted anything that does more than dial, and provide me with a single type…
With Norton Anti-Virus and Internet Security 2006 I reluctantly quit recommending Norton for everything. It was using too much in the way of resources, and it was too expensive for the value provided. In a number of cases internet providers were offering free services that were less obtrusive and worked, at least for home clients….
I’ve been working on upgrading all my old table based pages to this method for some time, but I wish I’d had clear instructions like these when I first started.
This download from TechRepublic, 10 e-mail habits that waste time and cause problems is well worth reading. These tips could help you (and me!) avoid some problems with e-mail communication.
Well, MediaMax is a service I was contemplating recommending to some of my clients, but based on this (where there is also a link to a google search for “mediamax sucks” producing a large number of hits), I think I won’t. Off to look for another service. As a note, I have found that numerous…
This is an older post on TechRepublic that they’re listing as one of the top posts for the year, but it has good material for all of us to watch: 7 Warning Signs of Bogus Science. And as a side note–I’ve found subscribing to TechRepublic newsletters one of the best choices I’ve made in e-mail….
I’ve been testing Blogrush for a couple of weeks (see here), and thus far I am finding the benefits marginal. When I first posted I showed the rate at which people were clicking through my syndicated entries shown on other blogs. Today I think I have the highest level, and it’s for a single post….
Since I’ve switched to Ubuntu for my main desktop machine, I was interested in this article in Linux Mag which compares the features of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon with Leopard (Apple). Since I haven’t used an Apple since the Apple II, I have no opinion on Leopard, but there are many interesting points there about what…
I can’t really say testing Scribus, because I’m very much not a graphics person. I do the page layout for my company’s books, but that’s because we’re such a small company, and I can just manage to do it. I do all that layout in OpenOffice.org Writer. Writer does a great job for someone like…
This one is just too useful not to provide a link–Comment Timeout. It provides automated closing of comments and trackbacks. You can configure the length of time before comments are closed and also lengthen that time for popular posts. I added this to my Threads blog and my Energion Publications business blog, both of which…
