Parallels Desktop shamelessly stole their logo from my DeepDual software. If their little doohicky wasn’t so technically impressive I would totally be sending them a C&D right now. Ah well. Bravo, ya thievin’ bastards!

Anyone who uses the web to research technical topics really ought to be familiar with Google Groups as an invaluable resource. As such a person, I was shocked to realize that Big G recently decided that Groups is no longer worthy of a direct link above their main search box!

Argh! I have just now removed over 12,000 spam comments from this site. Now, I’ve been neglectful to be sure, but isn’t that a bit ridiculous? I’m content to periodically run a ghost ship around here, but letting this be a place for spammers? Fuck that. It’s time to start fighting back, I’m going to […]

If I had a time machine I would track down all the journos who spooged over the original video iPod and take them back to the time when they wrote their articles and blog entries and make them watch me bash their heads in with the new, finally half-decent so-called “true video ipod” that’s about […]

I just installed LiveLines, a nifty Firefox extension that helps you control the result of clicking the orange RSS icon that shows when a site has a feed. This is great for adding feeds to Sage — which is another FF extension, but it gives you a sidebar with a mini RSS reader in it […]
