This weekend I took a trip to Ikea to get a new desk for my new home office I’m building. The desktop is glass, and was very heavy, so I needed to go to special full service furniture pickup universe to get it. I get in line, and prepare to wait my 7 […]

Every whif of documentation I’ve pored through told me that the only way the iMac can support screen spanning (having multiple monitors act like one giant desktop) is if you use crazy dangerous firmware hacks that can potentially brick your computer, void the warranty, and cause the sky to fall. Tonight, I plugged in […]
Obviously, I’ve heard about water cooled PC’s before, but I’ve never actually seen the internals of one.
I was never 100% sure what people were talking about when people would say “water cooled”, but it looks like it works just like a car cooling system.? You put this nasty antifreeze looking stuff (not water) into […]
I know this is fact, because the news tells me so.

As bad as this is, it was much worse before […]

1) Lots of people with this printer have had this problem
2) It is a pain to get it fixed.

Some good news! Now that I’m on the latest version of Wordpress and spam filtering is in full effect, I re-opened all my old posts for comments. I’m emotionally preparing myself for full-spam-comment onslaught!
As far as I know, there is no tool in wordpress to do this, I had to go old school […]

Every once in awhile when I dig around in my programming manuals and help files, I find something that amuses me. I won’t divulge the name of the company/vendor that pumped out this little gem, but a savvy reader might be able to figure it out. Don’t think about it too […]
