7 Sep 2008Since the release of Google Chrome on September 2, I have been using it as my day-to-day browser. Spending up to 80% of my computer time in a browser means that this was decision which affected a huge portion of my online experience.
I can say that I put Chrome through its paces, on a wide-variety [...]

23 Jul 2006As everyone should know by now, GrabPERF has moved to some pretty swell co-lo digs provided by our friends at Technorati. This saved us a bunch of money, both in connectivity and in power.
Now, after nearly 6 months of inactivity, I have decided to sell the original GrabPERF servers. I have no more need for [...]

3 May 2006With some help from the IE7 team, I got IE7 installed. Turns out that there is a conflict between Microsoft (IE7 Beta2) and Google (Desktop Version 2). The Web history indexing performed by Google Desktop somehow conflicts with the way that IE7 Beta 2 handles Web history.
Now that it’s installed I want to try it [...]

I am converting Samantha’s old desktop into a computer for the boys. It took me nearly two hours to get it to boot properly. Then it hung trying to install Windows XP. So back to Windows 2000 Pro.

10 Nov 2005Ok, this is the first post from the new Ubuntu-powered work laptop. I partitioned the drive and installed the OS and the only hiccups have been with Evolution, which I think I have beaten into the ground.
Even the ndiswrapper hack worked perfectly for my wireless card. Nice! This has come a long way since the [...]

GTD: What are you doing to make it happen in YOUR life?Â
In the world of GTD, having a Moleskine and a HipsterPDA doesn’t cut it folks. It’s hard. It requires discipline. It requires dedication.
It’s mental exercise.

20 Apr 2005There has been a lot of commentary on the departure of Lenn Pryor from Microsoft.
This is sort of an unusual topic for me, as for years, people have heard me preach that I would never work for Microsoft. But I am now saddened to see some of the signs of decay and inertia that have [...]

19 Apr 2005All:
The browser doesn’t matter anymore. So get on with it, and develop something interesting.
M. David’s rant.
I use browsers in this order:
Firefox: 60%
FeedDemon: 25%
MSIE: 10%
Opera: 5%
I am likely not alone. FeedDemon is my RSS reader and it is built on MSIE. Firefox is used for browsing, and I don’t do much of that anymore. Opera is [...]
