Considering which one, WordPress or B2evo

Well, I’m starting to think I may have made the wrong choice in using B2evo (I actually wasn’t aware of the existence of WordPress until recently). What few minor modifications I had to make to the B2evo templates were extremely painful and unpleasant, and the WordPress support community seems to be larger than the B2evo support community.

A drug is administered into the paps and its absorption and distribution in the paps are governed by the specific. Doxycycline http://ruralnirazvoj.rs/75373-map-34961/ in dosage equivalent to 1,000 mg/d was used as the study drug. This type of antibiotic, which is commonly used to.

This will help prevent the possibility of side effects such as insomnia, nervousness, anxiety, or irritability that can develop if the person takes a ssri as their sole form of treatment. Start by drinking plenty of water to make sure you are well hydrated, and to ensure your liver Volgorechensk kamagra jelly billig kaufen has sufficient enzymes to process the steroid. Lipitor is a type of fibrate, a synthetic fat-lowering drug that lowers blood fats that can lead to high cholesterol or high triglycer.

Now, the support community for B2evo have been very, well, supportive, and I don’t know if I want to give that up in favor of a new unknown.

Please, comment with your opinions….

HD DirecTiVos may stop working for High Definition Satellite channels

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A20470-2005Apr2.html

This is a frightening prospect, as I’ve just started to receive the local channels (in San Jose) in High Definition over the satellite, thereby relieving me from constantly tweaking my antenna setup, which is still flaky at best.

Google adds satellite to its maps

http://maps.google.com

Google’s map service added satellite pictures to its mapping software, already the best on the web in my opinion.

In other Google-related news, Google has made the gmail storage over 2 GB. If I know you and you want an account, just drop me an e-mail.

Greetings from Sunny Boulder Colorado

Well, after quitting my job I packed up my car and my wife and I drove out to Colorado (she flew back last Sunday). It’s truly a wonderful place.

I rented out a room with a pretty cool couple, with high-speed internet and everything, and am all set up in my one room mansion, ready to take on the job search here.

For personal gear, I brought interview clothes, snowboard stuff, and my bike.

For computing gear. I brought out my mini mac, a screen, a scanner, and I bought a laser printer when I got here (essentials of job search, I suppose). I bought a $10 (after rebate) 802.11g router for my roommates, so that I could use the mini mac’s built-in wireless access to get onto their high-speed internet. I have no TV, no telephone and no mobile signal on my Cingular phone with a 303 area code.

  • For TV watching I only use torrents on the computer (cool). So far I have so many AVI files of crappy shows I’m running out of space, with no time to watch them. The computer speaker is my output audio of choice, even though I have a large selection of earphones with me.
  • For telephone service I bought a SkypeIn number so that people can call me, and a SkypeOut number so that I can call analog telephones. Total expenditure, 20 euros. The quality is GREAT. I use my BlueTooth headset as the microphone until I buy another one, and the output audio seems to work remarkeably well on either the headset or the computer speaker.

The job search is going remarkeably well, considering I only really started on Tuesday, and I’m hopeful that the companies I’ve already talked to can offer me a job. In any event, I’m slowly but surely getting into shape, with little else to do to fill my days.

I’ve started using LinkedIn for business contacts, so if you see a LinkedIn invite from me, please accept (you can read all about what LinkedIn is on their website).

Out for now…

Voluntarily unemployed

Well, on March 17, I gave my resignation, and I was told on March 18 that it would be my last day (I did give two weeks notice).

For those who know me, this shouldn’t be a surprise. There were many reasons I quit, but dominant among these were:

a) I wasn’t in a role that allowed me to grow the company (no influence)
b) I didn’t agree with my boss or his methodologies. Specifically, he was abusive to the sales organization and towards his subordinates.
c) I don’t need to work right now, and it’s a rare opportunity to be unemployed.
d) Given all the above, I’d rather be in Boulder, Colorado.

Now here’s a great invention, flat Ethernet.

P2P sharing developments

As of today, here’s some of the news I’ve gathered on P2P networks.

  • Exeem 0.22 was released recently, and I took some time to check it out for content. It sucks still (no content!), and seems to even hang my machine up for prolonged periods. No more Exeem for me. When I first read the Bram Cohen interview, where he talks about Exeem in a somewhat derogatory manner, I dismissed his sentiment as sour grapes because it looked like Exeem was going to be the be-all and end-all. Well, more than a month later, I think he was right. Exeem is a carbon-copy of eDonkey in terms of functionality, but is much slower. BitTorrent, on the other hand, shares only the metaphor in common with Exeem and eDonkey, where “swarming” increases download speed by making every downloader an uploader. Bram was right about Exeem, but wrong about BitTorrent, which really does not appear to be superior to eDonkey, etc.
  • My last good resource for TV show downloading, when my TiVo didn’t catch it, was BTEFNET, which now appears to be down, maybe for good. Update, back up again, phew.
  • I still have not found a great Torrent client on the Mac. mlMac seems OK, but I cannot get the featured .torrent compatibility to work. Tomato works OK, but went completely nuts on the upload side without warning, killing my meager 384 kbps upload capability. I still haven’t got ABC, my favourite client, to work on the Mac. Azureus works fine, but it doesn’t take files double-clicked into it (which incidentally, was the reason I abandoned it on Windows as well.

Disappearing Microsoft Anti-Spyware

The beta Microsoft Anti-Spyware tool beta (very good) has been removed from the downloads section, after residing on there for about one week. If you want it, for loyal dave’s list readers, I kept a copy here. In the most recent PC World, although still in BETA, the Microsoft software rated ahead of other commercial offerings.

The Malicious software removal tool is not the same, and can still be found on the downloads.

Cheers,
Dave
