Work And Trust Relationships

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Technology, Work

I’ll be the first to admit it: my work environment is still iffy at best. I get along better with my clients and every other team except my own. It is a pretty sad existence when your ‘team’ doesn’t behave as a TEAM and really makes no effort to do so. In fact, it is […]

Psst. Hey, Bub…Wanna Do My Windows, Mac?

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Technology

I keep watching this LifeHacker post (click the ‘read more’ link below). I watch it and I keep asking myself as a web designer/developer “Who wouldn’t want that? Sweet Jiminy Christmas!”. What is it? The new Macs have the ability to run an application called Parallels with a new feature called ‘Coherence’. This allows you […]

Still Looking For Cool Stuff

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General, Technology

Angela hates that I’m always ahead of the curve on neat things. Why? I dunno. Maybe it has something to do with me rubbing it in her face that I usually hear about or see the cool things before her. Here is a list of some of the cool stuff that I just have to […]

Internet Connectivity As Drug Withdrawal

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Technology

Mother of God. Yesterday we lost our DSL connection. There have been times in the past when our connectivity went kaput but yesterday was a pretty good wake-up call to an alarming situation: I can’t get along well without my internet connection. In the past I thought that I couldn’t get by without television and […]

Must. Kill. Computer.

Shut up. Shut up shut up shut up. I know there are going to be a good number of you who will look at me like I’m a complete and utter boob and that I probably got what was coming to me. For that, I give you the pre-emptive “Shut up” and smack of my […]

Advertising on the Kitty

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Technology, Work

So, I’m tossing around the idea of running advertising on designkitty. Why? Why not? I’m curious. I have a few other projects that are interested in using Google AdSense so I may as well use my own blog as a proving ground. My question to you is this: Will you be annoyed with it? I’m […]

Site may be going down for a bit

Written by Puzzlehead, in Technology

Bah. I have to upgrade my software. Anyone who has ever seen me do this with the Nest-Egg Designs forums already knows that this is a hit-or-miss event. Sort of like watching me grill food: it can either come out tasting amazingly good and wonderful or it can be a lovely inedible piece of flaming, […]

And the television horror just continues

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Technology

So last night, Angela made me watch “Trading Spouses” on Fox. It was about a new age, hypnotherapist trading families with a religous nut job woman from Louisiana. Oh. My. God. Shoot me. I literally wanted to punch my television. All this hooha about ‘the dark side’ and ‘rebuke you in the name of the […]

The 300GB paperweight

Written by Puzzlehead, in Technology

Sigh. So I’m sitting here still fuming over the fact that I have an external Maxtor OneTouch II 300GB drive sitting on top of my computer. That’s because that is all that it is doing: sitting.
