I’ve set up a WordPress blog here: http://blog.stevex.net What do you think? (Yes, I realize that it’s not a link you can click on. This is because the text editor that Community Server uses doesn’t support creating hyperlinks when used with Firefox. This is another reason I want to switch. Not that this problem is […]
I’m not doing it yet but I’m at least thinking about it. I’m using Community Server now, and really it’s just more than I need, and I find it’s configuration to be somewhat obtuse. Community Server doesn’t have the MetaWeblogAPI installed by default, and when I tried to upgrade to 1.1 of Community Server, I […]
DOA 2 Ultimate for the XBox has the best intro I’ve ever seen for a game.
Google now has sponsored links that show up at the top of the search results list, the way most other search engines do. As a result, on my computer (meaning, my screen size and browser and font settings and all that), doing a search on Google results in me being able to see the same […]
I’d be annoyed if I was an employee of one of the big three car manufacturers. Not only are they giving everyone their “employee discount” (meaning, I guess, that employees don’t get a discount), but the retailers are throwing in all kinds of bonuses.

It goes something like this: Some guy complained to Google that his personal information was easily accessible on Google, and he didn’t like it. Google said, basically, tough beans. CNet writes an article about this, and as an example, uses […]
I’ve had a low priority task to figure out J2EE for a long time. Most of the text I’ve found is fairly dense and either assumes you know nothing or assumes you know way more than I do about Java.. This is the best article I’ve read on the topic. http://www.sitepoint.com/article/enterprise-javabeans-primer
Release Notes used to be a normal part of a new software release. Users could see what’s new, what’s changed. MSN Messenger has a “What’s New” button on the dialog that tells you there’s a new version, and long ago, they used to actually tell you what’s new. Over the last few updates the information […]
