Vista sucks
I don’t think Windows Vista is going to last much longer on my laptop. It’s been interesting getting to know the “latest and greatest” operating system out of Redmond, but it’s getting in my way on a daily basis now … Continue reading
Open the phone
Tim Bray has some interesting things to say in Answer the Phone Call, a commentary on where to find opportunities in the tough times ahead. Whilst I broadly agree with his analysis – more phones are sold every minute than … Continue reading
Saturday morning disgruntlement
Two things annoyed me this morning. Thing 1. Google. Specifically, Google Apps. Since switching to Google Apps, it has rapidly become an authentication bane of my life. Wanna share your Google calendar, use it in Thunderbird? Fine, except if it’s … Continue reading

Links for 2008-10-05
