After I got the TV the first thing I wanted to check out was the DLNA capabilities it has. Its taken a while because standing in my way was a pesky little home wiring project, and a time sink known affectionately as having a baby. The baby is settling into a routine, and the last […]

The TV Arrives
March 31st, 2009 · 1 Comment
Well the new TV came today. I went to Best Buy, for once they had the best price going, and picked up a Pioneer 5020FD and an HD TiVo. I’ve had the TiVo for a couple days now, and the netflix on demand feature came through this morning, so I am able to get some […]

Pioneer KURO 50″ 5020FD
March 27th, 2009 · No Comments
I’m TV shopping. I live in SD land, with my SD TiVo, my SDTV, and my SD cable. We don’t even have digital. I’ve been drooling over a new TV for I don’t know, 10 years. Knowing what I know about tech, and knowing what these things cost, I’ve been fence sitting. HD has been […]

Java 1.2.2
March 27th, 2009 · No Comments
I am working on updating an old batch job that is written in Java at work. It was written in such a way as to make me think that it was written by a COBOL programmer. The code makes my stomach turn, with its obvious disregard for modern Java best practices. I don’t know why […]

Roadmaps
April 4th, 2008 · No Comments
I just finished reading a post by Adobe’s John Nack on the photoshop roadmap for 64 bit computing. The post outlines the plans Adobe has for 64 bit on windows and on the Mac. Let me say that if you are a Mac user you are going to be dissapointed.
Its not the Adobe […]

Who buys this crap?

I just finished reading an article on Vista SP1.
http://www.dailytech.com/Vista+SP1+Problems+Bug+Some+Users/article11164c.htm
Thats a lot of problems. A major update to your OS causes some users to get stuck in a boot loop. I really do feel for MS on this. Its exactly why Apple won’t install its OS on 3rd party hardware, well that and the fact that […]

Leaving Behind Windows
February 20th, 2008 · No Comments
I was perusing the latest barrage of tips from Lifehacker today and I realized something. Once or twice a day Lifehacker has some tidbit about Windows Vista, and I completely glaze over it. I have distanced myself so far from Vista that I don’t even care about tips and news for the OS. I can […]

Javascript Sucks

I haven’t decided if its Javascript, the lack of a decent Javascript editor, or people who abuse Javascript, but something about it smells really bad. That is all!

Apple in Feburary
February 12th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Its no secret among my friends that I’m an Apple Fanboy. I can’t help it, life really is better on the other side of the digital divide. February has been an interesting month for me when it comes to my Mac. With all the new releases scheduled for this month, I’ve been […]

Upgrading to HD
January 29th, 2008 · No Comments
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not quick to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to upgrading to new technology. I didn’t immediately upgrade to Leopard when it came out, and I’m glad I waited. HDTV is another one of those areas where I’ve been slow to come around.
Basically I haven’t felt comfortable […]
