If they can do it, what’s our excuse?

OS Virtualization

I jumped into the operating system virtualization craze yesterday.  I needed (really, wanted) a way to run another OS (some company in Washington) on my Mac.  I really use my Mac for everything, but, every now and then, it would help to have Windows available.  So, after reading as many comparisons and trials as I [...]

Safari 3.1 Released

Apple has released ver. 3.1 of their (semi) popular browser Safari.  As a native Mac user, I prefer Safari over all other browsers.  (Well, since it’s the only one I can get on my iPhone, I had better like it.)  Apple mentions that this new browser is the fastest available for both HTML and CSS [...]

IDEs and their limitations

I have been using the BBEdit development platform for some time now. Several years in fact. But, I only came to this after using several others before and during that time. Remember Allaire’s Homesite? I used it. Adobe GoLive, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Eclipse? I used them all. The most [...]

iPhone 2.0 and Lotus Notes

There are rumblings are the Net that IBM may/may not offer Lotus Notes for the iPhone. If I am Apple, I want Lotus Notes on my platform. Now, I have never used Lotus Notes. But, many businesses have invested in this product. Any chance Apple has to bring in the business community to this wonderful [...]

Back Home

I am back home. My wife and our dog (Charlie) were pleased to see me. I am glad for that. The house is the same. I will be putting up some nice wood blinds that we ordered before my trip. I think they will add some color and uniformity to [...]

Flying home

So, I travelled home yesterday on American Airlines. It was quite uneventful, apart from the landing in rough East Coast turbulence just days before.
After making my connection in Dallas, I had a chance to fly over the new Texas Stadium home of the Cowboys. Now, while I do not currently cheer for them [...]

iPhone Update 2.0

Well, it has taken me some time, but I am finally writing about the previously mentioned iPhone 2.0 update per el Steve. From my (admittedly different) perspective, the greatest change is that Apple will be allowing two major things happen:

Native software on the iPhone.
Apple will eventually allow the iPhone to work on other than [...]

Last day @ DUG 2008

So, this is the last day at DUG 2008. It has been a good trip. I learned quite a bit about the upcoming new Colleague Advance update that will happen for us in ‘09 (already in general release). Overall, it looks like a good product. Here are some observations:

Some folks will [...]

Being true to TU

This is the last night for the DUG Conference 2008. As usual, the last night is the Be True To Your School party.
It’s a chance to get dressed up in your finest school duds and come on down for some popcorn, music and a little Guitar Hero (no, didn’t play). It’s [...]
