Blogging from my iPhone

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Hmm… With blogging being this easy I might post more often than once a month. I got the iPhone a couple of weeks ago and I have to say I’m impressed. There isn’t much I can’t do. I remotes into a server the other day using a free app and was able to fix the [...]

PICNIC - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Tech guys can be condescending, rude, impatient, we get such a bad rap mainly because the average Joe just doesn’t want to admit that the problem they are having just might be them.  Yes, this is a venting rant, perhaps you should surf away now… then again, maybe you are like me and sick of [...]

The Microsoft Zune Player Sucks

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

I have written in the past about the awesome Microsoft Zune Marketplace membership that allows you to download unlimited songs to your Zune player.  A great program if you Zune player doesn’t bit the dust.  The problem is that a lot of Zune players are biting the dust and mine happened to do it 1-month [...]

As promised this segment covers the hardware and software compatibility of each operating system.
Ubuntu has impressed me again with their continued improvement on hardware compatibility.  This time there is no hoops to jump through to get the wireless up and working.  It works out of the box.  In fact, everything worked out of the box [...]

During the school year we ran a pilot to see if Ubuntu would be a feasible choice for the OS on our Netbooks.  Ubuntu did fine as expected but using OpenOffice did not.  I had the students take a survey regarding their experience with the Netbooks and most had no problem with using Ubuntu.  In [...]

OpenOffice Experiment Failing

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

You only have to read a couple of posts in this blog to know that I am a huge proponent of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software).  I have been fascinated with it since learning about it and have a lot of respect for the developers that donate their time to the great projects available [...]

Shameless Self Promotion

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

I am training for the Chicago Marathon in October and a long-time friend of mine just back from Iraq has agreed to run it with me.  We started a blog about our training since he is in Indiana and I am in Michigan.  If you like to run or just want to listen to us [...]

TwitterBar Addon for Firefox

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

OK, so I’ve joined the bandwagon and begun to give meaningless updates on what I’m doing with Twitter.  I’ve yet to figure why I’m doing it but for some reason I feel I must.  My problem is that I don’t have the time or memory capacity (as shown by my blogging skills) to log into [...]

The school website is a mess.  That is the honest truth.  Schools for the most part do a poor job with their websites but ACS is pitiful.  I don’t say that to demean the school district, heck they hired me so they must be doing something right.  :)  Just kidding, I’m not that conceded.

The Prodigal Blogger

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Unbeknown to me I have a couple of people that are mildly interested in this blog.  My father-in-law told me I better get to it and man has a lot been going on.
First and foremost, I love the new job.  Working in a school district is challenging but it is really cool to work with [...]
