In the European Union, Opera is in the process of bringing a suit against Microsoft for bundling Internet Explorer with its operating system. Microsoft is slated to include Internet Explorer 8 in its latest operating system, Windows 7. Recently, Mozilla foundation threw its hat in the ring with Opera to go up against Microsoft, and…
Cute Overload: Dolphins Blowing Bubbles
My work schedule for this month has been kind of crazy, but good. Coming in late, working late, going home late, staying up late, then sleeping in late. The day winds down a lot after 5pm, and I saw this video of dolphins blowing bubbles and playing with them. The video is posted at SeaWorld’s…
Entrecard Market Reopens!
The folks over at Entrecard have been working hard! Lots of new features and policies have been rolled out lately, it would seem. One of the newest features is the Entrecard Market! If you’ve been an Entrecard member for some time now, you’ll remember there used to be a store where you could buy products…
Too Many Eggs in One Basket
Sorry, folks. Where I’d hoped to put a kick-butt second installment to the Linux for n00bs article, is instead this silly excuse post. I think Friday work schedule being different from Monday – Thursday is going to take a little more getting used to again. I’m 11am – 8pm Monday through Thursday now, and 8am…
Tomorrow Friday is 1234567890 – The End is Nigh!
Haha. Maybe. At 6:31 (P.M., EST) and 30 seconds tomorrow Friday, UNIX time will read 1234567890 and the apocalypse may very well be upon us. Actually, probably not. We won’t even really have any cool computer glitches to speak of, since Linux has been using 64-bit time for quite some time now, which means the…
Some Upcoming Posts, and Life Updates
This morning I went to my doctor. I’ve been sick lately, since at least last Wednesday, with flu-like symptoms. My coworker Brian went to the doctor for his, and came back with a sinus infection diagnosis. I figured I’d be the same probably. But the day didn’t go all nice and smooth, that would have…
Sick Again
I went to the doctor a week or two ago, and he said I was doing alright. And now wouldn’t you know it, I’m sick. I’ve been sick for about 24 hours now at least, and it’s no fun. Congestion, coughing, and sinus pressure. I am taking medicine, but of course that only gives me…
Change Starts Today: Barack Obama 2009 Presidential Inauguration
We haven’t been too political around here lately, but today is the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. I just want to say, I’m really, really excited about what this presidency is going to mean to history. Not just because he’s the first african-american president we’ve ever had, but…
A New Semester Begins
It’s January 2009! Woo hoo! My birthday is in 12 days, I’ll be turning 26. I know in many eyes I’m still very young – including my own! But I feel like I’m getting older. Bills, a mortgage, grad school, a full-time job, a cat to look after, my father has passed away and my…
Blogging for Education
EDIT: If you’re reading this for information about helping me out with Grad School by donating, skip to the separator line about midway down. This first bit is just about my holiday. Well, Hello there. Fancy seeing you here! Did you have a good holiday? Where you surrounded by feelings of comfort and joy? Awesome.…
