I had never had an MRI before, but I have seen them being done. Spending an hour in a loud banging dark tube wasn’t something I was particularly excited about. Nonetheless, I figured it was worth doing. I get the MRI and aside from some incidental findings of unknown significance (don’t you just love those?) it was normal. Thankfully. Before I got the test done, I called my insurance company… Read More »Another reason to hate insurance companies
I now have my old laptop up and running at the office, using my Touch Pro 2 as a tether to the internet. I updated Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 at home as the file size was like 400megabytes to download, which I didn’t really want to do through my cellular phone connection. Now that I’ve got it going, I get a notice that Ubuntu 10.04 is now available. Glancing at… Read More »Are newer OS’s usually better?
In my previous post, I explained how I went about selecting the Keter Bellevue shed from Costco. I plan on having this post plus one more in this category. This post will be about how I built the foundation for the shed. I was actually dreading the construction of the foundation far more than I was concerned about building the shed. I’d read over and over and over again that… Read More »My shed foundation with photos
Not sure if you’ve seen that the California police raided a blog editor over posting pictures of a missing Apple iPhone prototype? While I understand some people think Gizmodo comitted a crime by purchasing a stolen iphone, I think the police search sounds much more ominous. Journalists have the right to protect their sources and it sounds like the police were after the source, using scare tactics of this search… Read More »Apple is one scary company
Why can’t people understand that when there is a large sign hanging on the outside of the bathroom door that says Vacant on one side and Occupied on the other that you should USE the sign. When you go inside, it is very simple to flip the sign and then when you leave you flip it back. We have a staff bathroom behind the unit near our offices and it… Read More »Bathroom Sign – Occupied or Vacant?
We moved into our new house last summer and quickly realized that our garage was on the small side. It does fit 2 cars, but barely so. With all of the bicycles, the garbage cans, the lawnmower, and the snowblower, there just wasn’t room in the garage for everything. Last year I did put up hooks on the walls of the garage for some of the bicycles and I briefly… Read More »Deciding the right choice for outdoor storage
After being disappointed with the two other Windows Mobile apps I’ve tried (tblogger also called Travelling Blogger) and PocketsharpMT, I decided to keep trying different applications with the thought of eventually putting together a comprehensive review of my findings. Today I came across Diarist 2.1 and am giving it a try. Unlike going through the wordpress admin interface mobile plug-in pack version, this program does have a nice way… Read More »Trying out blogging from my phone
so I decided to try mobile blogging again and brought a personal laptop into work which I can tether to my cell phone for internet access (our work computers don’t allow personal internet access). I had an old laptop laying around that I figured would be good for this purpose. After booting up Ubuntu (I had problems with windows running too slowly and I also was reminded this laptop has… Read More »You really do need a good way to move that pointer
<deleted image after viewing on my laptop and seeing the image was ginormous and didn’t fit on the screen – but did get uploaded – and going to edit the rest of the post to better include my thoughts now that I’m on a laptop> Testing if I can upload a photo from my phone using Tblogger. It appears it should work, but it was very slow to load up… Read More »Trying new ways to blog
I’m still trying to find a way to do mobile blogging in a user friendly way. I can’t imagine someone doing real blogging from a cell phone, even if it is a smartphone like my Touch Pro 2. I’m doing this message from my phone, but I haven’t found a good way to do this. I did install a mobile plug-in pack for wordpress which does make the website automatically… Read More »Is it worth it to blog from my phone?
