just a couple more microsoft peeves that have been annoying me lately: well, maybe i'll just tell you where to stuff it, instead: Welcome to Windows Live Messenger Help August 25, 2009 - Install the latest version of Messenger. You need to install the latest version of Messenger. It includes security...

what the hell happened to ... ... 'summer' ? not just this one, but the season of 'hot'. and what happened to 'Summer', in a personal or cultural sense ? aging is part of it. global realities are also. ... google app engine: maybe they felt that cutting...

rss: i don't subscribe to much, and most aren't very long term, being related to transient interests, but here's a few that i find useful in various ways. copy / save / import the opml in your favorite feed reader, if you care to. < opml version = "1.1" > < head >...

a couple of years ago i noticed aol appending advertising to my email , and i sent them a note, and got back nonsense. now, we get more nonsense in the form of what any reasonable person would have to assume is a pathetic joke - a class action lawsuit over that practice . and here's how the proposed...

so they manage to get away with years of advertising on our dime, and then their settlement is to contribute a paltry amount to charity. oh - and court mandated spam as well....

and if you think that's trivial, you clearly hadn't seen my kitchen recently. all it took was a few hours of cleaning sinks, stove tops, counters, dishes, microwave, and stuff, and things, ... so now there's a (mostly) clear floor, and clear counters. still a lot more to do here. step by...

from: the depths of the dust bunny graveyard in the land of dysfunctional devices to: perhaps not-so-interested parties via: dial-up (woohoo! we're blazin' now!) subject: update on internal landscaping; circle of life; and, wtf? message follows. not sure what's with roadrunner lately. ...

update : all right, this was a big doh! moment. while puzzling over this particular item i had forgotten about my published browsing history feed, which normally i keep pretty constantly aware of. i was just not making the connection for some reason. so it's not so much that something here is calling...

there's someone i'm interacting with that i want to (continue to) use my fractalnavel identity with, and i remembered i had a yahoo account. so i send myself a test message there - and find the following: well, surprise, surprise... "mail plus", eh ? you betcha there's...

well, only sorta new - but the effects of intel's $20M infusion of capital to telligent late last summer have been slowly becoming evident over recent months. never mind the immediate spate of top-heavy hiring done last fall, and the subsequent layoffs (no, a connection? ya think?), and the explosion...

i like tumblr.com for it's ease of rich media posting & viewing. but since upgrading ("up"? really?) to ie8, a lot of the videos greet me with: talk about ruining the experience. apparently, this is a new "feature" in ie8. it has introduced the X-Frame-Options...

so for the last couple of years (yep, years ) there’s been this oddity about a customer’s website that wasn’t very serious, but was one of those eye scrunching, eyebrow raising sort of things. the first report of something flaky was a design consultant who was alarmed: “did you...

this is uncalled for: if i wanted to check for malicious software, i wouldn't be installing ie - i'd be running a "malicious software checker". and it's not even optional. seriously, are they trying to discourage people from using their stuff, or what ?

here we go again... craig: So you think the MVC pattern is something worth looking at closer? I read about it a few months ago in an MSDN magazine article. It did look pretty cool in that the view can be easily abstracted as a win form, web page or silverlight control since it's communicates with...

one little annoyance - and suspicion - in the .net development world is the behavior of .net reflector when it comes to updating itself. there's no way around it. and if you're not careful, the thing will even delete itself in some circumstances. that behavior is suspiciously close to being a...
