more keyboards

I got my mitts on the Logitech G15 gaming keyboard. It’s working great but of course I have some suggestions for them…

Get rid of the macro keys on the left.
I’ve been working on this new keyboard for more than a week now and I still… STILL… keep hitting the bottom left macro key instead of [...]

nationvoice = crooks resolved

February of 2008 I signed up for a ventrilo account with nationvoice.com. The service was decent, but it turned out I really had no use for it. Six months later I canceled the service with them.
November 23 I was billed by them again. Their billing policy is once every 3 months, so apparently I didn’t [...]

new patio != hot tub?

The patio is done! yeah!. Actually it’s been done for a couple weeks. When I say I’m gonna do something, I do it and I do it hard. (lol)
Really though, the patio went in nicely. I’m impressed with the end result (note to self, get pictures online). Now all I need is the hot tub [...]

firefox firefix

I knew I should have waited, yet I couldn’t help myself. I had to install the new Firefox browser version 3.0 and here I am with only have of my extensions working. Ugh. I should know better than that.
If anyone else out there uses my CopyforNotes extension (add-on), I have updated it to work with [...]

network solutions steals domains

So, check this out. Batistablr and I were searching for some domain names that he was considering for purchase. I often go to network solutions (netsol) to do my searching because it’s really simple and you don’t have to login or enter a captcha.
Here it is, a day later and Batistablr has decided to purchase [...]

themes are sucking boring

I’d love to get a new theme on this site. I’m getting bored with this old one now.
This week I spent some time browsing various themes online. I started in the usual places where you can find thousands of wordpress themes for free. The problem is that they all suck are quite boring. Nothing tickles [...]

don’t answer my calls

I’ve got a set of cordless phones in the office. There are a total of 4 cordless handsets for this 2 line unit. So, if the package was sold with 4 handsets and the phone can hook up to 2 separate landlines, why can’t I talk on more than two handsets at any given time?
The [...]

ppt, really?

Why do people think it’s alright to send me a PowerPoint Presentation file in the email as an example for… for whatever it is they are trying to show me? Who has PowerPoint installed and ready to go at all times? It is not alright to send someone a ppt file in the email unless [...]

almost, EA

Dear EA,
Almost, EA. Almost you got me on that purchase of Crysis via EA Link. That game downloader sounds like a great concept, but not if you are going to charge me again if I lose my download or installation.
###
So, I had pre-ordered Crysis from Gamestop last week. It was a little expensive, but I [...]

video blues

I’m working on a new video of a Crysis tutorial this evening. This is a remake of the original video. The original video was lacking in some details, mainly because I was clueless was new to it myself. This new video is turning out to be much longer, but also creating a lot more grief [...]
