No, not the folks making coffee (or pushing buttons as Chuck would say) at Starbucks, but the espresso machine by that name. The Barista is a fairly simple low end or mid range (depending on your perspective, I guess) espresso machine and mine just stopped pumping. It whirred and vibrated like it normally did, but […]
Two comments on the current state of DVD, Blu-Ray, and this transition period. First, during the lengthy transition from DVD to Blu-Ray, stores are stuck having to stock two copies of every movie. This is going to last for years, and was the reason I originally predicted HD-DVD would win, since you can have one […]
A lot of web forms ask for your email address. And most of these ask you to re-type it, to verify that you typed it in right. Am I the only person that just selects all in the first one, copies, and pastes it into the second one?
That was painless… I upgraded WordPress to 2.7 and nothing broke.
I mentioned a couple of days ago my battery problem with my MacBook Pro. The menu bar battery icon, when clicked, said “No batteries available”. This story has a happy ending. I took the machine in to Carbon Computing where it spent 2 nights waiting to be diagnosed. What do computers do when you try […]
For years I’ve been accumulating domains. It’s just natural when you get an idea for a website or development project to start thinking up domain names. Registering a domain name is the individual developer equivalent of the corporate new project T-shirt design. And for years, I used Yahoo Domains to register domains. Their service was […]

So after playing Little Big Planet for a while, I earned some trophies. I went to visit Playstation Home to see if I could put them in my house or something. But alas, there’s an update for Playstation Home available. It’s been updating for 10 minutes now and it’s at 57%.
I bought LittleBigPlanet for the PS3 about a half hour ago. I’d be playing it, but it’s updating. And it’s about 55% done. I don’t know how the Xbox 360 does it, but it’s not uncommon for games to get updated, and the updates are always just a few seconds. I’d speculate that the Xbox […]
