Rats, my great new Shuttle SS51G has a problem. It’s network card seems to have given up the ghost. Nothing like spending two hours trying to figure it out. Checked the network cable with a good machine and that works fine. Behaves as though there is no connector there at…

Thanks to Road Bike Rider. They have a great news letter. Here are some interesing factoids I learned. It explains how the pros can travel at 25 mph for days on end. Of course they produce twice the wattage (200 watts for a mortal vs. 400 watts for a pro),…

Paul Maritz and Eyal both want to do video conferencing over at Ignition. This seems like a classic opportunity for Rich “The Geek” Tong to learn another inane subject. I certainly don’t think we should spend $2,000 for some hardware when we don’t understand all the issues (like why can’t…

Ximian Connector : Buy and Install. Now that Ignition has Exchange 2000, I can try the Ximian Connector. This will let my Linux machine access Exchange. Wish me luck. Now, if only I could figure out why attachments in Ximian always show up as unknown, I’ll have made this a…

tima thinking outloud. : The Next Generation of TrackBack: A Proposal. Amazing that trackback is only 6 months old. This is some great thinking about their future directions. They are very fundamental I think. It is the equivalent of a 2-way hyperlink which is just great. Thanks to John for…

An update from early February with more on accessories. Since last December, buying a 35mm camera has been on the list. So, now seems like a good time with the summer coming up. I’ve narrowed it down to a Nikon N80 (a.k.a. F80 outside the US). The price structure is…
