The Other Man's Opinion!

Well my first experience with our new telephone company was bad – we now have Frontier instead of Verizon.  I tried to pay my bill.  After fighting with one of the worst automated systems that I have seen in a very long time,  I wound up talking to a CS rep who took lots of information, tried to [...]

Just reading an article about the usage of different operating systems on personal computers. It is interesting that when I went to define a personal computer it pretty much these days is defined by a computer using an Intel or AMD processor running the x86 command set. That would include Window’s PCs, Macs, and most Unix [...]

I have been working with SharePoint 2007 for a while now and have used a variety of tools to customize the product, but for some reason have avoided using an obvious one – SharePoint designer.

SharePoint Designer has a significant amount of power but has a number of foibles that make it somewhat less than intuitive to [...]

Just upgraded my notebook to 8GB of memory – doing more work with virtual machines so the additional memory is a must. When I attended the SharePoint 2010 Intro a couple of weeks ago the presenter had 16GB in his notebook and was running 6 or 8 virtual machines – most of them servers and while [...]

It appears that Apple may be taking queues from congress – I just tried to download an app on my iPhone and was confronted by a terms and agreement document that I had to agree to before I could proceed. It seems that this document was published to make me aware of changes to the season [...]

We tend to use our [...]

Decided to change the title of the blog for a couple of reasons – the first was that I thougt is was a little dry – the second is that I am branching out into areas that are not specifically IT or small business related – so let’s tell it like it [...]

I am enjoying my iPhone – at this particular point in my life for some reason having the ease of use and the overall hardware and software support seems quite nice. I can appreciate some of the technical nicities of the Android family, but here is one case that I think Apple did it right. At [...]

Have been playing with my new toy (I am apt to do that:)). Downloaded a couple of free apps that I have found useful.

The first one was Remote – this app allows me to run the iTunes site on my PC from my iPhone (having to use the small i capital next letter will drive me [...]
