We posted about Lorem ipsum before but that was only one site. Here is another site that generates the Lorem Ipsum text, but with more options. I like the fact that I can choose different languages. L33tspeak rocks!

Miguel de Icaza writes an interesting entry in his blog about Microsoft’s upcoming Avalon and XAML technologies and what Open Source needs to do to remain competitive against these technologies. Unfortunately, after reading the article I got more hyped up about Microsoft’s stuff than the work Miguel talks about.
Miguel mentions how Microsoft is not doing […]

I would think that it wouldn’t be too difficult to customize the Linux kernel for best optimization when it comes to these things. All the services loaded during bootup would not be necessary. However, for a car we are talking almost instant startup, since no one would want to turn on their car and wait […]

Budding earphone geeks may find this Wired article on in-ear canalphones of interest.

If you look over at the search box, you should see a link below labelled “ForeverGeek Search Plugin for Mozilla Firefox” (as of this writing). This will allow you to run searches on Forever Geek from the search toolbar in Firefox.
You should use it because one day it may save your life. Props go to […]

Well these are definitely some intersting PCs. Although I can see how some people would call them a “toaster” or some other crazy everyday appliance, I do see them filling a niche.

You know the search bar in the Firefox toolbar? While it is one of the best of Firefox’s features (aside from tabbed browsing, of course), the biggest complaint with it is probably that it’s just too small to be able to type search queries into it that are longer than one word. Well, now you […]

Microsoft has completed its update of the XBOX Live network codenamed Tsunami. Most of the cool new features aren’t available yet until newer games come out that support them, but these features make the best console online gaming experience even better.

Have you ever wanted to display a certain dialog just by clicking on a shortcut? Maybe you wanted to have a shortcut to open the Mouse Control Panel, and display the Buttons page by default (so that you can easily reconfigure your mouse buttons to work for playing games or something). Well, using rundll32.exe, you […]

A really good article for validation in PHP. For me form validation is always one of those headache things that I tell myself I will get around to, although the security of your site could depend on it. This article is good for people who worry about their users turning JavaScript off.
For people who […]

When McDonal’s announced they were going to offer wireless access at the restaraunts I asked in the discussion how much would it cost for businesses to get setup with WiFi. Apparently now it is not that much. Problem though is that it is still not free.

I don’t how many of you knew about this, but I just recently discovered this really cool feature at Yahoo! Maps that allowed me to search for a location and then find all the hotspots in the area. Of course not all of them were free hotspots, but they were still hotspots.
Why you can’t add […]

If you’re using Win2k or XP (or, dare I say it, NT4), you’re probably used to using the Task Manager to see what’s currently going on in your system, and killing any processes that have run amok. I know that I have, and I greatly appreciate all of its additional functionality that makes it worlds […]

I love Anime. If I am going to watch TV it usually is going to be some anime late on Adult Swim. The great thing about anime is that there is so much out there that I have yet to explore. The bad thing is that I usually have to go buy the DVDs for […]

If you enjoy programming in .Net and especially C#, you owe yourself a favor to check out the Mono project. C#GTK# makes programming GUI applications so much more accessible on Linux. This article provides a basic overview of the two .Net implementations for Linux, Mono and DotGNU.

More than two years have passed since Microsoft […]

Well this is the final article in the series so you no longer have to worry about me posting these anymore. This one covers SSH and a couple of other things. I really don’t like how he mentions FTP, says you shouldn’t use it, but then doesn’t go into details of using either SFTP or […]
