A Geek Nation…

Posted in Opinion at 4:44 pm

People never cease to amaze me! There has been recent talk going around that someone cracked the algorithm to always come up with a winning number for the iTunes/Pepsi free music giveaway.

Leave it to the Geek community, which admittedly I am usually a part of, to over analyze a situation when there is a much more logical solution.

It’s not rocket science people! To quote one of the entries in the discussion above…”never underestimate the stupidity of people in large numbers”.

Firebird now equals Firefox

Posted in News at 9:35 pm

What browser do you use? About 95% will say Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you’ve ever developed web pages you cannot ignore this massive percentage. However, IE is a piece of crap when it comes to standards. For instance, I love CSS but sometimes getting things to work with IE usually involves a lot of cussing and pulling my hair out.

Another percentage you cannot ignore is the 5% that use other browsers like Safari, Netscape, Opera and Mozilla just to name a few. That brings me to my next little gem…Firebird now known as Firefox. It’s just really the browser piece of the Mozilla suite. It ranks up there with Opera as far as following the standards and has many of the other cool features built in already like a pop-up blocker. You can have themes and also various helper extensions. If you can’t find something, you can even make your own. Try doing that with IE!! There’s my plug for Firebird, errr Firefox, now happy surfing.

Miracle

Has anyone seen this movie yet? I’m thinking of taking my team to go see it. There are a few events throughout my childhood that I vividly remember and that hockey game is one of them. I just remember the joy of our team winning, against the Russians even, but what I remember most is the reactions of the grown-ups around me. And I didn’t realize at the time how important this win was to the American Spirit with so many other bad things going on.

Super Bowl Snafu

Jackson style…everyone else is talking about it, so why not.

And I’ll be darned if I didn’t miss it.

So was it offensive? I’m curious to hear others opinions about Janet’s “exposee” sort to speak…
