Each release of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks 2.x up until this point have used 401 (Basic) authentication to secure the RSS Feeds and iCalendars. The main reason for the use of 401 authentication here is because this is what the software that consumes the RSS feeds and iCalendars support for authentication. It’s the right tool…

Yesterday’s fire was in an open space area where we take the pup to let her run off-leash. It looks like the fire was stopped very close to some of the houses out there. Definitely a little too close for comfort. I stopped by the side of the road to snap a few shots –…

Can anyone recommend a USB Bluetooth Adapter for use with my PC laptop (running XP Pro SP2) and Sony T608? Size matters. There are a gazillion cheap, off-brand models on ebay but I have no idea which ones (if any) actually work. I had been looking with interest at the Kensington model because it seems…

I got an automated call from the county sheriff’s office today warning me about a grass fire that was burning just a few miles away from our house. According to the call, some folks nearby were required to evacuate – yikes! I was quite relieved when I got a follow-up call notifying me that the…

I’m not a gamer , never have been1. The only game(s) on any of my computers are what comes from the manufacturer. However, I got a GameBoy Advance SP for Christmas (I put it on my list) and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been very impressed with the GameBoy unit itself. Great battery life, simple…

Yesterday I woke up with a sore left shoulder. It sounds like a rotator cuff problem as I get severe pain when I put it through certain motions and it is very weak in certain positions. It didn’t really bother me when I went to play baseball yesterday (a little catch, a little BP), but…

Parking Lot Indicatr Photo Group on Flickr The Graphing Calculator Story Since that left no managers in the loop, we had no meetings and could be extremely productive. rentzsch.com: Longhand, Longhand Most other computer calculators try blindly to emulate the physical format of their predecessors. What works well in the real world, however, functions worst,…

I need a clock for my office. Originally, I was looking for a small analog clock, but I like the idea of a digital atomic clock too – if I can find one that isn’t too ugly (some of these aren’t too bad). Anyone have any suggestions? (Please, don’t bother suggesting a binary clock) UPDATE:…

The pup went in for her population control surgery on Wednesday and we brought her home again yesterday morning. She seems to be doing quite well recovery wise. The incision was about 1.5 inches long and is closed with three layers of internal dissovable sutures – no stitches that need to be removed. Her belly…

Looks like the time I put into setting up my backup system was time well spent. Today I couldn’t commit code to my Tasks Subversion repository, and ‘svnadmin recover’ didn’t work. Um – yeah. The good news is that the backup that ran early this morning was still working (didn’t need to go to the…

The screen is very nice – maybe not quite Sony XBRITE good (I’ll be able to compare direcly in a month or so) but still very good. Hoever, after using it all day yesterday, my eyes were tired and my shoulders and hands felt a bit hunched and uncomfortable. I somewhat expected this – when…

Notes as I unpack the Dell 700m and get it set up: Both Dell and Crucial ship via UPS, so both packages arrived at the same time – serendipty. Why don’t PC companies use nice pretty packaging like Apple? It can’t cost that much more and it sure adds to the initial experience. Klear Screen…

I’ve released version 1.7 of the WordPress Mobile Edition. This fixes up a few things that should make it work better in WordPress 1.2. Download the zip file from my WordPress page. I’ve checked in the code to the WP Plugins Source Code Repository, and added the older WordPress 1.0 compatible code in a wp_1.0…

Looks like all the rumors were true: iWork, the Mac mini1 and the iPod Shuffle. Apple seems to have taken a big jump into the lower-end consumer market with these releases, something they have always avoided with Jobs at the helm. For a while now, Macs have been comperably priced to PCs. However the low…
