I was listening to the news tonight on a recap of 2005. One of the things they mentioned in stocks was Google’s amazing performance. Looking at the bar graph of GOOG at Yahoo Finance, I can definitely see what they mean… growing almost 50 percent… shite, wish I had invested in them. Well, it may […]
I’m spending a week in Atlanta for the Christmas/New Years break. I arrived on Sat, Dec 24th, and am leaving on Mon, Jan 2nd. The last few months of working have been a bit hellish for me, so I’m finally happy to have this vacation to relax and recoup. I had planned to visit lots […]
I moved to New Mexico back in mid-June of 2005. Back in February, my sister put me in touch with a friend of hers, a graphic designer, and him and I had been communicating and doing occasional work together since then. My ideas for a job when I moved here would be to do freelance […]
If you’re looking for a new IDE, check out the Eclipse project which is an open-source java-based IDE that supports plugins for a variety of features and languages including PHPEclipse. This is an extremely robust application, tho I haven’t had much time to play around with it yet.
I also found a program the other night […]
When I moved out here, I promised myself I would travel to someplace new at least once a month. That hasn’t happened because I’ve been hella busy for the last few months working and working some more. But I found a great photo journal that shows many of the beautiful lands and rich cultural images […]
Two nights ago, we had our first snow here in Española, NM. There were only about 2 inches or so, and the snow pretty much melted away by lunch time, but it was amazing to see the whole land blanketed in white. I really wish I had taken some pictures to share with you. Coming […]
Incase you haven’t heard of “Open Source“, check out the Wikipedia description of it.
I have recently been playing with open-source projects during the last few months, and as a programmer, I am thrilled at the concept of free software that is robust, easy to install, and (generally) easy to configure. I also love the ability […]
Picasa is a terrific photo cataloging program from Google which allows you to catalog photos, create labels, manipulate your photos and share them with friends.
Picasa has a Webpage Export feature where you can export selected images into webpage templates for gallery-style viewing, and it will automatically resize the images and create thumbnails for you. You […]
I just learned a great word tonight: Infornography
Infornography is used to define an addiction for information. People addicted to Infornography are people that overly enjoy sending, receiving, exchanging and digitizing information.
Interesting… I think this very much describes me. Ironically I came across this word tonight as I am organizing over 400 GB of data on […]
FireFox v1.5 has implemented a new feature called Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) which is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics and graphical applications in XML. Basically you can create cool graphics stuff with very simple XML code. Unfortunately it’s not a very widely supported technology, so you’ll need FireFox v1.5 to use it.
People have already […]
