OSX Time Machine – Brilliant or Bust?

by

Aren’t backups a wonderful thing? As an IT professional, I can tell you that most people never backup their computers. Organizations are a bit different. Most recognize the need for backing up, but fewer actually test their backups. In OSX Leopard, Apple recognized that people don’t backup their computers. Further, they recognized that, increasingly, our … Read more

Twenty20 Cricket – A Guide For Neophytes

by

I’ve got several friends coming over tomorrow to watch last week’s final of Australia’s KFC Big Bash Twenty20 cricket final; however, they basically know little or nothing about cricket. I was going to mail them this guide, but why should I waste pages of writing that I can blog instead? 🙂 So here it is… … Read more

Security with Frickin’ LASERS…

by

I’m not the most “glass half-full” person in the world, but I do try to pry some minor comfort from a situation that can only really be called a “loose-loose situation.” Last week, our home was burglarized.

I just have not been blogging enough lately. The simplistic ease of just making a quick snark on Facebook is a life-drainer from blogging. I’ve decided to have a long snark today. Yesterday was our 11th anniversary (not yours and mine, obviously, but my wife’s and my 11th anniversary) and we decided, somewhat unoriginally, that … Read more

War on Christmas Tree

by

I didn’t get around to this last year, but this year I got around to making my “Atheist A” tree topper for our holiday Yule tree. Or as I like to call it, “The Bill O’Reilly Memorial War on Christmas Tree”
