19" LCD Final Decisions
I’ve been looking through the conflicting reviews again on X-bit and Tom’s Hardware. Here’s my short list of displays to look at: * Acer AL1911 or Benq FP992. These are the same displays really. Decent quality. Now just $550 at Newegg. The Benq is slightly ahead as it has DVI and analog inputs. Unfortunately, it…

Remote Desktop Connection on Windows XP
This must be one of the most hidden features in XP. Right now I’m on an incredibly slow laptop. But, there is a utility inside Windows called Remoted Desktop Connection, so I’m on a terminal session to my fast desktop in the other room. An amazing security hole, but also an incredibly cool feature. Another…

Can’t believe I forgot to Blog where I got this. We have an el cheapo Panasonic Fax machine. Takes carbon paper (remember that stuff) rolls. I’m lying in bed with a bum knee, so time to buy one: * “Aimlower”:http://www.aimlower.com/best/price/OpID_mpbr/mTRN_TRN20030726212617994002248/sfx_6484/bot.htm.

Prescott is here!
“Tom’s hardware”:http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20040201/. It’s here. February 2, brings the next salvo in the processor wars, the new 90nm Prescott from Intel. The amazing result is that it isn’t faster than the current Northwood Pentium IVs. That’s interesting given they have twice the cache (1MB) and also are 90nm vs. 130nm chips. They’ll be much cheaper to…

Wifi Networking Guide
Well, now that 802.11g is out, it seems like a good time to figure out what Wifi network I’d buy. Will be nice to get a network up. Or course, the decisions aren’t easy, because as usual, although we have 802.11g, everyone is in the business of doing proprietary extensions that either interfere, cause interoperability…

Polar Power s720i output meter is broken…
Darn it, I like the monitor, but thing has mysteriously died. I get heart rate and speed, but I don’t get cadence or power anymore. Sent a note to the folks at Polar and they think: _If the Power sensor shows green light, then cadence should work. Have you chosen the cadence ON (also power)…

Diet K lives
“Diet K”:http://www.dietk.com/. Now that Kazaa lite has been hammered by Kazaa, Diet K seems like the new replacement. Like Kazaa lite, it removes the spyware. Get it now before it disappears. I’ve also tried E-mule. Smarter protocol, but doesn’t have nearly as much content it seems.
