  • My take on the economy

    Aside from what you've heard in the news, I'm sure you've observed in your own town that the economy is down. That is, less spending, businesses failing, and/or prices rising. It's taken it's time but I've started to notice the physical effects of the down economy here where I...

  • When will the trees fight back?

    With all the talk about global warming and how bad carbon dioxide is for us humans, I figured I'd think outside of the box today and write a little rant. I hope trees fight back and spwan some shyamalan-esk attack on man. Not because I'm some pastly self-loathing human than wants to die by tree;...

  • The new HTC Hero

    I recently saw that Sprint had finally joined the Android bandwagon and was able to procure two Android-based phones for their service. I decided to purchase the HTC Hero and thus far am pretty happy with it. Below is quick review of a 1 day use. Software The phone ships with the latest Android 2.0 platform...

  • The 10 Most Deadly Mistakes in Software Development

    Confusing estimates with targets Targets are what everyone dreams of hitting. Estimates are grounded in wide-awake analysis. Which should you base your commitments on? Overly optimistic schedules Time flies, especially when you don't schedule enough of it. Better to take the time to do it right than...

  • 10 Things I want in a Job

    I've had it. I quit. I'm done. It can't be done here. I'm tired. Help! All of the previous statements have been said by me in the past few years here at my current job as a Sr. Software Engineer at a local government contractor. Our company attrition rate has gone almost into double digits...

  • I just realized I have Internet everywhere...

    Well, just about everywhere. My HTC Mogul and Sprint PCS plan allow me to have unlimited data transfers, and with the ability to share my phones Internet connection via USB or Bluetooth, I can get access for my laptop where there's no public wireless access (does this even exist?) What does this...

  • Calling Vista by a new name might be appropriate...

    Microsoft released a website recently posting reaction videos of people they had asked to preview a new version of Windows called Mojave. Only this was simply Windows Vista they were actually previewing. The point being to show that people had misconceptions about the operating system. The problem I...

  • Upgrading to Mobile 6.1 killed my Phone as Modem service...

    ...killed it for a couple of days at least. Until I came across a comment in a blog about a related issue regarding how Sprint denies MMS on Win mobile and blackberry phones. Although I had also read that Sprint will "soon" be releasing an update for this capability on WM6, the mere fact that...

  • Windows Mobile 6.1 - Grade C-

    It seems like Microsoft is only partially getting the hint these days. Perhaps they've lost their fight to be the best in every market; innovators in every respect. Maybe I'm just overly jaded by their mistakes. Vista, Mobile 6, and TagSpace to name a few. Now 6.1 was shown to be a BIG improvement...

  • $8,000-per-gallon printer ink leads to antitrust lawsuit

    I find it ridiculous that these companies can get away with the insane prices for computer ink. If they didn't bother with all the electronics B.S. they put into a cartridge we wouldn't have to pay so much for one. My all-in-one Lexmark printer will not report ink usage correctly. I have cartridges...
