“When vendors get nuts”
I’m not sure I deserve the shout-out from Kelly G, but I appreciate it!
To address one point in the post, though, you have to step back a minute and remember that those McAfee posts are probably made by one of their devs.  They’re human and, while [...]

A Knife, a Fork, a Bottle and a Cork…

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

Greetings,
I’m in New York.
Glen Cove, my home town, to be precise. Even more precisely, I’m staying at a mansion converted to a hotel that is one block away from the high school I graduated from.

Greetings,
(Sorry, technical difficulties…pictures will have to be included later!)
So my wife and I are in the midst of a grand adventure, driving across the top of the country. Starting from Seattle, heading to New York, puttering around there for a few days, and heading home.

Pre-GnomeDex build-up

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

Greetings,
So I’m very, very much looking forward to Gnomedex, coming up at the end of this month. I went last year, and it was really cool. I went to the Seattle MindCamp, which was intense, a lot of fun, and tiring. I met good people at both, although the MindCamp folks were [...]

This is a purely personal blog entry, so if you’re looking for technical info (especially on eBay’s latest breakage), that’ll have to wait until my next entry.
However, I want to thank all my JBidwatcher users who [...]
