I had to cancel my order and place a new one to get things squared away. No more extra video card Added the Bluetooth/Wireless card I’d forgotten the first time Didn’t get the extra RAM (will order from OWC instead) Better a few days late than wrong. 🙂

Recently, I’ve chatted with a few folks that also use Tasks Pro™/Tasks and LaunchBar as part of their toolset. I have a number of Tasks Pro™ shortcuts I use with LaunchBar, some of which the others weren’t aware were possible. First the obvious ones: Bookmark for creating a new task (LaunchBar shortcut: nt) Bookmark for…

It’s been a while since I posted any photos of Noonan, here are a couple recent shots. She’s doing quite well, though today she seems a bit bored and is coming in to play every 5 minutes or so. I need to go run her a bit a lunch.

My order has been placed. 😎 According to the information posted in the Apple Store and on my e-mail confirmation: the 30″ display ships “within 24 hours” the graphics card for the 30″ display ships in “2-3 weeks” the PowerMac ships in “3-4 weeks” The irony is beautiful, isn’t it?

Yesterday the blinds for the basement windows came in and the painter finished spraying the base color for the house. I was able to knock a few things off my list last night: Replace the outside light fixtures (no more brass!) Install the blinds in the three downstairs windows Replace the brass peep-hole in the…

For the last three weeks1, I’ve been working out 4 days a week2 (brief pause while I give myself a self-congratulatory pat on the back). I’m back to playing volleyball three times a week and my shoulder was starting to get sore from the combination of too much activity and me getting soft. 🙂 The…

Every once in a while, one of my posts will end up ranking high in a search engine; with the result being an ongoing stream of interesting comments. Here are 2 examples: CitiMortgage Frustrations My original complaints seem rather insignificant compared to the horror stories that some of these folks are going through. This post…

The last couple weeks I’ve been having to do something I don’t much care for, excercise patience. 🙂 I’ve got the following things supposedly coming in this week: The set of golf clubs I ordered for my birthday (yes, back in September – I finally ordered a set that fits). I’m hoping they come in…

The Mariners are not the Indians Airline Accuses Airport Of Foul Play Over Free Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi) – stupid, stupid, stupid. Leaders plead for quake aid – bad timing on this quake – coming just after Katrina and during baseball playoffs and early in football season. I’m only semi-joking about that.

I was all ready to order my new development system, but the rumored dual-core PowerMacs were conspicuous in their absense at the “one more thing” event this week. Combine that with the Dell deal being back, and I’m wondering how long I should wait before just pulling the trigger. That’s the problem with buying computers,…

I had a great time at the Denver Tech Meetup this evening; met some very interesting folks. Many thanks to Steve for setting it all up. I think this is going to be a bi-monthly event1. if you’re in the Denver area make sure you don’t miss the next one! I’ll update this if I’m…

A month and a half ago, I put up a group of untested WordPress themes hoping that people would help review them (so they could be added to the theme browser and main theme list). So far, only one person (thanks Trevor!) has reviewed any of the themes1. While I know it takes a bit…

I’ve been using Yahoo! Local with some regularity since I still don’t know the area I live in all that well1. Today I had lunch with Steve and I eIM’ed him the URL of the place from Yahoo! Local. Let me tell you, that is one ugly looking URL: http://local.yahoo.com/details;_ylt= AtA3DivnL7En8XMvvq0P2PSHNcIF;_ylu= X3oDMTBpZzIyMjd0BF9zAzk2NjEzNzY5 BHNlYwNzcg–?id=19555234&state= CO&city=Arvada&stx=chilis&csz=Arvada %2C+CO+80007&fr=&ed=…

Three years ago yesterday, I entered the first post in my blog. That seems like both “a long time ago” and “wow, three years?”. Now that I have a few years of content, maybe I should set up “previously on this day” links in the sidebar like Mike has.

As everyone knows, Google launched their own feed reader last week. I figured that this was coming sooner or later, but my first response was still along the lines of “ah crap”. 🙂 Since I’ve been working hard on a web based feed reader of my own, I wasn’t really excited to see an 800…
