I love Apple usually, but sometimes they do really bone-headed things. For example, on my previous setup I had two displays. On those displays were nice, long DVI cables so I had lots of options for display placement. The new displays have a very short Mini DisplayPort cable, so I am unable to use all […]

So, the Macbook Pro laptop has arrived at the local Fedex facility. It is not scheduled for delivery until tomorrow, so I call Fedex and ask if I may come and pick it up. They tell me no, the shipper will not allow them to hold a package for pickup until after the first delivery […]

Today, after being paged with an outage for the nth time, I finally had enough. I actually had to create a web page with my […]

Going to visit my health care executive today. First visit in quite a while. Wonder if this relationship will ever amount to anything more than a one-hour computer lesson once in a while. Maybe PainMinder™ will eventually go somewhere, although if Naomi is not using it for a week at a time, then I am […]

Well, we made it to Friday! Expecting to get my new Cisco firewall today an AS520 – I checked the UPS website and see that it is out for delivery! Very exciting! Will finally have the features and performance I need. The home-level firewalls are just not good enough. And this was only $310 from […]
