Cool Mac/Mobile Software for Sysadmins, Programmers, and People

Posted on September 3, 2009September 3, 2009 by bkjones

I recently upgraded my primary workhorse (a MacBook Pro) to Snow Leopard. Before I did, I decided to go through and take stock of all of the documents and software I’d accumulated. While I was doing this, I simultaneously got into a conversation with a buddy of mine about the software he uses on his…

Totally Hooked: ‘Things’ for Mac

Posted on May 19, 2009May 19, 2009 by bkjones

First, I want to point out the only thing I hate about this application: the name. It’s bad for me, it’s bad for the developers… it’s just bad. If I ever had a problem, how am I supposed to do a search for that? If the developers want to find blog posts like this one,…

Marc Andreessen on Everything

Posted on February 20, 2009February 20, 2009 by bkjones

Marc Andreessen was on Charlie Rose last night, and I missed it. A buddy told me about it, and I wanted to watch, but things just got in the way. So here it is. So, this is the very first time I’ve ever embedded video into a blog post. I couldn’t help myself. Why? I’ve…

2009: Waiting to Exhale

Posted on December 29, 2008 by bkjones

Lots of blogs list a bunch of stuff that happened in the year just past, and I have done a year-in-review post before, but in looking back at posts on this blog and elsewhere, what strikes me most is not the big achievements that took place in technology in 2008, but rather the questions that…

What do you find lacking/awesome in tech training classes?

Posted on December 19, 2008 by bkjones

Dear lazyweb,  Over the past year, I’ve spoken to a few clients about performing on-site training for their staff in things like Linux administration, SQL, PHP, etc. I’ve also gotten a few training contracts as a result, and those contracts have gone quite well, and I have some repeat business already! I really really enjoy…

What Ordinary Users Think About IE: Debunked

Posted on December 17, 2008December 18, 2008 by bkjones

Point all of your chain-mail-forwarding family and friends at this post. It’s a collection of things people have said to me, or that I’ve overheard, that reveal little tidbits about what people are thinking when they use IE. I have to use IE – it’s my internet! IE is not your internet. IE is what’s…

Linux on Laptop = Epic Fail

Posted on November 25, 2008November 25, 2008 by bkjones

I brought my MacBook Pro in for a warranty repair yesterday around noon. Since then I’ve been using a Lenovo T61 to get basic work done, and also to see if any progress has been made in the area of Linux support for my laptop. I bought this laptop specifically because a website said that…

Help me pick a new feed reader

Posted on November 21, 2008 by bkjones

I’ve been using Google Reader since it was created. I really love the *idea* of Google Reader. I like that scrolling through the posts marks them as read. I like that you can toggle between list and expanded views of the posts. I like that you can search within a feed or across all feeds…

MacBook Pro: Should I Just Get a Refurb?

Posted on November 21, 2008 by bkjones

I hate glossy screens. I’ve tried them. I don’t like them. It’s true that it would probably be good for my eyes in some way, since I do a lot of reading on the laptop and things *are* sharper with the glossy screen. However, there’s just no way I can deal with having a glossy…

I’m a Top 25 Geek Blogger… for some value of “Top”

Posted on November 10, 2008 by bkjones

I’m not someone who wakes up every day and looks at how my blog is ranked by all of the various services. I check out my WordPress stats, but that’s really about it. However, someone went and did some of the work for me, and they’ve decided that, of the blogs that they read or…
