Last week I came down with the flu. It began on Wed afternoon and the chills crested on Wednesday night. I wore a long sleeve T-shirt and fleece sweat shirt to bed with a comforter and 0 degree sleeping bag as blankets to get warm. During the night my fever broke and I couldn’t shed [...] This probably only interests me, but I recently saw the folder sizes of my digital pictures and was struck by the growth in the size over time. I got my 1st digital camera at the end of 2001 and the number of photos taken each year is growing and growing. I know there [...] You’ll first look up an address , but this trick only works if the address is centered (it’s centered by default). So, moving the map around will not make this work. When the address you want to find latitude and longitude for is dead center, copy and paste this code into your browser bar: javascript:void(prompt(”,gApplication.getMap().getCenter())); Conversely, if [...] A URL link to test your upload and download connection speeds. http://www.internetfrog.com/mypc/speedtest/ I thought I would pass along this link to Mohawke’s Best of the Best Free and Open Source Software Collection.

I started [...] I have been taking advantage of two great sources of free software: The OpenCD Project and Software for Starving Students. There is overlap in the tools offered, but you can’t beat the price and the functionality is remarkable. In both cases it helps to be on a broadband connection. I downloaded the CD image (ISO), burned [...] I recently upgraded Wordpress, the software used to maintain TheSwirl, to the latest version. I also decided to undergo a change in the theme of the blog, making it look more “Swirlish”. Previously I was using the default theme which was nice, but looked like all the other generic blogs. Let me know what you [...] Pandora – I have a lot of online music and listen constantly. Over the past year I have been listening to new music via Pandora, a music discovery service that utilizes the music genome project to recommend artists, bands and styles of music similar to an known artist. They’ve made the service [...] As I have been flitting among computers more lately I have been using Google web applications, primarily for documents and calendar functions. This post has a practical review of ten fully functional virtual operating systems (WebOs) that can run within a browser. While I have some inertia due to my previous use of Google, I [...] |
