I learned something today that I cannot believe I did not know/use before today…if you click on the replied, forwarded, etc icons within mail.app message list, it will open up the email that you sent in response, forward, etc. How very handy! How did I not pay attention to this for the last six years? […]
Time for a beer! Nothing like waking up at 5am and putting in multiple hours of “work” before you actually start your day job. To begin the day…I could not sleep (because of the humidity) so I decide to get up early and check my consulting company’s email figuring I can do a few simple […]
While spending the long weekend at my not in-laws, we took Triscuit to her foster parents’ house to hang out with their two greyhounds. When we picked up Triscuit yesterday Triscuit’s foster parents had a great story to share. Apparently they have a neighbor who likes to play their radio so loud that the commercials […]
The last week has been absolutely crazy. I had a house full of house guests from Thursday until Sunday Amy and I brought Ava to her new home on Saturday where she has a 14 year old greyhound sister as well as a beagle too Huge storms here on Sunday/Monday…so strong our front door (glass/screen) […]
This email to one of my Mac OS X Admin lists sums up my day: “This is M… F… from Germany. I am intersted in the searchmachine Lucene” What? Exactly.
Fun times. Nothing says fun like finding weird things that the previous home owner thought was a good idea. Today’s fun thing: sump pump drainage into the driveway. Water flowing down the driveway + extremely cold temperatures = skating rink. I have spent the last 2 hours chipping ice, salting, chipping ice, and trying to […]
Finally, afer years of pain and suffering (as a designer), MS finally stopped supporting and offering Internet Explorer 5 for Mac on their web site. I am not generally a fan of MS or MS decisions, but I have been waiting for this day for years. Sure…there will be people out there still using IE […]
Well well…if it is not one thing it is the other. I went to pick up Ken this morning at O’Hare and as we were in the first toll booth, stopped, waiting for the person in front of me to pay…smash! I did not know what happened for a few minutes, but then we realized […]
Well well…web 2.0 unexpectedly comes to life in my social circle. What? Someone that I know broke up with her boyfriend after “he wrote nasty things about her on his blog.” The blog changes everything! TMI everyhere! Back when I was younger I used to pass notes on a daily basis to close friends and […]
Finally! (See part 1 and part 2) I have been wanting to check out Solaris for a few years, and now I have a fully functional system at home! Of course there were several roadblocks. CD errors. Drive space issues. Questions like: How do I boot from a CD? How do I format the hardrive? […]
Wow. While I find it interesting dealing with a diverse group of people, I also find it interesting that some people have no clue to to socially interact with others. My short list of people pet peeves begin here. The person who talks over everyone else. Wow. Sound familiar? I pick up the phone to […]
Well well. I finally have a decent spell check option and it is thanks to the Google Toolbar. I can spellcheck anything in my browser window with a click of the button. I am not known for my spelling skills, so hopefully this will help me. On another fun note…I was getting a Coke on […]
