Loving Squarespace

I’ve tried SquareSpace a few times in the past but I finally had a chance to try it full blown.  It’s very easy to work with and produces some very good results.  They give you a 2 week trial run which was more than enough time to setup a (almost) fully finished website.  You can [...]

Internet Explorer 8

Ok I admit it, I like IE 8. It runs good enough, looks good, InPrivate Browsing is good, and I like that one tab or window won’t crash all my IE tabs. However I won’t use it because it doesn’t have in-line spell checking. Sure I can download a add-on to get spell checking but [...]

IE 8 Checks for Malicious Software

I installed Internet Explorer 8 this morning and noticed it checked for Malicious Software before installing. My guess is it used MSRT’s (Malicious Software Removal Tool) quick scan because it didn’t take very long. I don’t know why but I think that’s kind of cool. Technorati : IE8, Internet Explorer 8, Malicious Software, Microsoft Del.icio.us [...]

Stardock Fences will organize your icons.

I like this program.  Stardock Fences will organize your icons into… well… fences.  So if your the type that has a lot of desktop icons then fences is certainly for you.  The best feature is the ability to scroll through icons in a fence.  If the number of icons fills up the space you allow [...]

I’m liking Gmail Tasks

So far I like the addition of Tasks to Gmail. The feature I like the best is adding an email to my tasks list. This is great for actionable items that come in via email. I use to put a star by emails that I need to do something about. Now I can add them [...]

ForensiT’s Transwiz

I just can’t use Transwiz.  I don’t know why the concept is easy enough and I love Profwiz, but Transwiz fails 50% of the time for me.  Some problem with files it tries to transfer.  Oh?  You have no idea what I’m talking about do you?  I should explain. ForensiT’s Transwiz is suppose to compress [...]

Dial2Do

I may stop using Jott.  Lately I’ve been using Dial2Do and I really like the service.  Jott was/is great.  I was even happy they switched to a premium service and ad based model so they can stay in business.  I used Jott so infrequently it wasn’t too bad to go to jott.com to receive my [...]

Cisco Academy – Day 1

So my first night at the Cisco Academy went exactly how a first day of any college class goes.  Basically you don’t do much except go over the syllabus and nothing works right in relation to the computers.  We spent the first 1/2 of the class watching the System Administrator install the Cisco software just [...]

Cisco Academy

Very shortly tonight I’ll be attending my first Cisco Academy class.  I’ll post updates regarding what I learn and how it’s going.  Maybe somebody out there will find this useful information.  Especially if they are considering plunking down so dough for the education.  Of course the end result is hopefully a CCNA cert. addthis_url = [...]

Jott goes Premium

Jott, the words to text generator, has gone premium, and good for them.  I often wonder how these Web2.0 services will ever stick around if they have no business plan, you can’t keep getting venture capital forever. Anyho, I love the service and I will keep on using it but I’m opting for the free [...]
