Backing up your data with style
My Google account was restored to me about a month ago. I thought it would only be fair to let people know, since my little rant a few posts back. I’m still in the dark as to what happened and I received a pretty vague email from Google simply informing me that they have “re-enabled” [...]

My 21 must-have programs
I received my shiny new Asus U30JC-A1 last week and thus begins the age old process of making it my own; a sacred ritual familiar to all geeks — removing bloatware, setting up preferences and user accounts, optimizing, tweaking, securing, customizing, etc… You know the drill.

Could Vista be the final nail in the coffin?
07.26.07 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI had this thought while driving to work today. As a lot of you know, I split my time pretty evenly between Windows XP and OS X, and I’m quite happy doing so. I’ve been a Windows user for as long as I can remember and an OS X user for a little over a [...]

Two great Mac programs: Journler and Quicksilver
05.15.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsTesting Journler’s blogging abilities — If you see this, it worked. Yay! For the last few days I’ve been messing around with a great program for the Mac called Journler. It’s like a journal on steroids.
