Developing posts

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else

I’ve had a few posts stewing in the drafts folder here on the blog and I’m going to try and push a few of those out.  I can’t believe its almost been a month since my last post (ok, yes, I realize the Google Wave invite was not really a post).  I’m going to try [...]

Anniversary passed without notice

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else| Internet

Yesterday marked a milestone for me.  I signed on with this blog exactly one year ago yesterday, and I missed my anniversary.  It was only today that I noticed that my archives extended back to August 2008 and when I clicked in, found that my first post went live on August 4.
I still seem to [...]

Test driving Moblin on a netbook

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else| Internet

I came across Moblin earlier this week online and so I decided to impose myself against my buddy Jamie and try to run this on his Acer netbook.  So, we downloaded and prepped the live USB stick and booted the thing up to see what the distribution looked like.

Quick post – caught up in Google Reader

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else

So, my life has been no less busy in the last 10 days, but I did catch up with my Google Reader and all the news of the day.  My wife is busy finishing a project management class for her Master program, so our family has been a little stretched lately.  On top of that, [...]

Busy, busy all the time

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else| Internet

And now, a post about nothing…..
Its finally happened.  I missed  a day in Google Reader… I didn’t read any of my news today.  I never got caught up enough at work to actually have time to take in the news.  I also didn’t have time to read much of my personal email during the day.   [...]

“Online life after death”

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else

And I quote CNN today – “New services promise online life after death.”  No, its not fountain of youth, but it is a real issue that some have already found — what happens to your virtual you when you die?  How do you securely transfer domains and virtual “real estate” that could have real value?

Major news outlets transitioning online

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else

This post is a little off topic.  Some of you may know that I met my wife while working on our college newspaper together over 10 years ago.  So, beyond the technology, one of my other niche passions is the news business, particularly magazines and newspapers.  (I, also, hate the 24-hour news and how its [...]

Milestone – 100 posts

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else

Yeah, so its a small milestone, but a milestone none the less.  There have been days where I wondered why I was posting anything or even had a blog, but the past month or two has been very rewarding – getting good feedback in the comments and finding that my posts are (hopefully) helpful to [...]

Wildfire

Posted by: Philip In: Everything Else

No, its not a new software title…  more of a current event.  Many have probably seen it on the news, but there is a massive wildfire in my area – the Myrtle Beach, SC area  - just a few miles away from where my family and I live and work.
