Mice Getting In The Way
I have noticed lately that I am spending so much time with my mouse. I have to use it to open and close stuff and I I spend time scrolling through explorer to just click on a small [+] in order to open a folder menu or open a menu item and it's taking me [...]
Vista Media Center PC Woes
I have decided to run through the media center PC and start getting it to work. So far I have had to remove both the capture card and the audio card to get Vista to boot.
I have not been able to get my network access to work through SAMBA and my DLink DNS-323 (Network Attached [...]
Computer Games Today
The computer games today suck. I am sorry but they are either this online / multi-player type the single player version is so short it's not worth playing. My reviews of the games today are:
World in Conflict – Awesome Graphics. Single Players Sucks!
BioShock – Unable to install (AVG thinks it's a virus), to top it [...]
Goodbye TechColumbus
I had my Final meeting with TechColumbus this week. There's just something going on that I don't quite get, communication gap or something. What I find so strange about my relationship over the past year is that something is just missing.

Business Plans Are Crap, Without Market Research
In talking to a bunch of people about start-up business ideas, they always talk about your Business Plan.
I find this so lazy it's funny. They should have asked, where's your market research? Because a business plan without that is useless.
If I were ever going to give someone advice about a business I would first ask [...]
Switching To Ruby – Part 1
Why switch? That was the first thing I thought of when I started thinking about learning Ruby. Why not Python, or just stick with Java and PHP.
I started thinking a few years back about why I decided to switch from Java to PHP for web programming. I choose then because PHP reminded me of the [...]
My Quest For Another Language – Part 3
I think it's time to stop the analysis. I did all I could do. I have ready all I could read. Now it seems like I just need to start working with one of the languages to see how much I like it.
Since I have already started down the path of Ruby (purchased 3 books) [...]
