I know a lot of my readers are other bloggers, and we bloggers like to find the simplest and smartest ways to do anything. We love deals, coupons, specials, and promotions. We’ll be the first to tell you what’s good and what’s bad, what’s hot and what’s not. So when I tell you serious bargain…
Because It’s My Blog and I Can
If you’re overly sensitive to couply-romanticy-stuff then you know, you should ignore this post and move along, nothing to see here. I’m “going on dates” with this lovely woman. She’s my “girlfriend-equivalent.” One of the reasons why we use the phrases in quotation marks is that she’s going away in the fall, and we don’t…
Put Your Ugly Mug on Anything
That’s right. You can put your ugly mug on anything, even an ugly mug! Or a t-shirt, or a mouse pad [Note: despite popular opinion, mouse pads are not feminine protection for mice], or a calendar, or just about anything else that can be printed on. What’s even better is you don’t have to sacrifice…
Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager
I totally thought I’d written about this before, but I couldn’t find one single post on this blog about Chad Vader, the Day Shift manager. If you like shows like “The Office” or “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” you’ll love this classic YouTube series whose basic premise is – what if Darth Vader’s cousin worked…
What’s So Great About Open Source, Anyway?
Today an article on Slashdot talks about how Sun is (finally) fully open-sourcing Java within this calendar year. For those not familiar, Java is a programming language used by a lot of different programmers and companies. You probably use Java at work or at home in some shape or form and don’t even know it.…
Prepare for Disaster Recovery: Rebit Data Back-Up
If you think you’re exempt from the cataclysmic eventuality of computer hard drive failure, think again. Hard drives are only meant to last for a few years, tops! Maybe you’re one of those people that feels the best back-up solution is to burn everything to a CD, or e-mail your important files to yourself. The…
Get the Menu Back in Internet Explorer 7
I know this is a completely dumb Windows tip, and most of you have probably already figured this out. I was helping a lady today who was not familiar with Windows because she normally uses a Mac. She had accidentally hidden the menu bar (File, Edit, Tools, etc.) in Internet Explorer 7. It’s really quite…
Show Some Love: Advertise on Raging Tech
Hey everybody, I just wanted to take a moment to point out a new page on the site, a link to the right detailing some information about advertising on my blog or sponsoring a post. The Raging Tech currently has several sponsors for posts, but is now offering banner ad space on the right. Right…
Coming Out of My Shell
In the spirit of “Coming Out of My Shell,” I’m posting this rare video of me, telling you about an embarassing moment. And when is this embarassing moment, you might ask? It’s from JUNIOR HIGH. You know you all just shuddered a little. Junior high: one of the most awkward times of anyone’s life. Watch…
Current Work Projects
I have several things I’m trying to do at work while I’m answering calls and hanging on to my sanity. It’s neat to have something to be put in charge of and take responsibility for. Project 1: Update the Help Desk Website Copy Myself and the hourly full-time guy are in charge of updating the…
