Obviously it was not Little Snitch or at least not Little Snitch alone that cause the malady which befell my poor Mac. The morning found it again without the ability to left click and sadness returned. Fortunately I was able to reboot it and was able to get my mouse back to normal again. I…

I was trying to do some surfing tonight after a reboot and some Little Snitch Updates. Thing went horribly wrong and once my Mac Book restarted all I could do was right click and I could only right-click on things that had focus. It was horrifying, and I think the only time I’ve ever wished…
Read moreWorking with SharePoint
After working with Linux and Unix for so long it’s been difficult to go back to the Windows world. It’s not that I’m anti-windows or anything, it’s just a different environment and not one that I adore. I’ve been trying to be fair to SharePoint and I don’t think that it’s necessarily a bad starting…
Read moreRockmelt on the Mac
So I decided to say what the hell and signed up for the “Rockmelt” beta. I was intrigued by the video and thought it might be a good experiment. Unfortunately, it really did not live up to my expectations. The interface is nice and the ability to add favorite friends and feeds is a nice…
Read morebeen coding and thought I’d throw some stuff out there.
So I like making life easier and all that for myself when coding…. So I decided a while back to recreate some of the tags I used to have in happy ClodFusion land into PHP land. Granted I’m sure they aren’t as pretty or nifty, but they work so I’m happy. The first one I…

I’m also remembering what a pain some things can be when installing from source. My latest adventure has been installing Pidgin’s OTR plugin. I…

I’m at an impass. I’m pleased with the way my NetBook is working with OpenGEU an yet I’m frustrated at the same time. This is the first time in a VERY VERY long time that I’ve used Linux for a desktop. It’s really come a long way since then and it’s very usable. The problem…

I was a copy-cat a few months ago and bought a NetBook. I got the ASUS EeePC 901. it has a solid state hard drive and it’s about the size of a large paperback. I love it and it worked great for me when I went to a SANS training at the RSA Conference in…
