  • New and Notable 194

    Fantastic week here in San Mateo. Weather is nice and there are a lot of Japanese restaurants so I had Sushi 4 times in 3 days. I also had Korean yesterday. Also, unlike the East Coast, where all we have is Colored Sugar Water (Dunkin Donuts), there are plenty of Starbucks but also my fave Pete's...

  • Things Working a Lot Better and Kudos to Alienware and MSFT Support

    I am no longer so worried about the Alienware and Vista. I called Alienware and they sat on the phone until we fixed the wireless driver and everything else I was concerned about. They gave me a number for Microsoft Vista Ultimate support and they were thoroughly helpful and professional. Within minutes...

Many of the problems I listed here may be indeed be the Alienware as I had a pretty decent Vista experience before besides the broken file copy over the network. The proof...

  • Weather

    I am writing this poolside where the weather is in the 80's. After both running 3 miles around the lake this morning and an hour strength training in the Gym, we went by Verizon where I bought a Verizon Broadband card and this *does* work in Vista. I was getting poor signals from the Apple Air Wireless...

  • Does Anything Work in Vista??

    This may be the only time in my life where I actually willingly downgraded an OS. I detailed all sorts of frustrations with Vista in this post . That's just that start: Orcas does not compile programs in Vista (Ok, its beta, but Vista should be a prime platform) I cannot burn any DVDs either using...

  • iMac Gets 2GB, Sam and Parallels Happy

    I complained in the past that my Dual-Core iMac was very slow at 512MB. Leaving aside the question of whether Apple should even sell this system without 1GB in it, I went and bought 2GB and put it in. Wow, it's like a whole new machine! OS/X and Aqua operate the way I would have expected. I guess...

  • New and Notable 149

    Yup, I'm still stuck in Seattle and I still feel like crap. Tomas just went off to the airport and I feel like the last MVP left in Seattle. Just want to get out of here and home but can't do that until tomorrow night. Lots of stuff stored up Entity Framework/ADO.NET 3/ORM/ASP.NET/MonoRail I...

  • New and Notable 140

    I haven't felt like blogging much lately. Some of that is due to how much is going on at work (much more on that when I feel like it) but I have also haven't really felt jazzed about blogging lately. I want to, and am starting to devote more time to get myself into the gym and my family, both...
