Low-Tech solutions are somehow cool! Could something as simple as paint help mitigate Global Warming? Scientist have been exploring solutions, all seemingly grand and high-tech like; green energy, renewable energy, solar solutions, hydro solutions and carbon bottling just to name a few. Politicians get involved to debate costs, financing and various other facets. Somehow [...] Computerworld let Eric Lai cut an article titled: “Microsoft targets Linux, IBM with Windows Server for really small biz“. After reading the article I suspect Microsoft is using a BB Gun. Essentially the article reads as though Microsoft has unleashed a killer OS for use by really small businesses called Windows Server 2008 Foundation. [...] At more than 55 million kilometers away (how many miles is that?), NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit is having technical difficulties. Apparently the rover rebooted several times last weekend. Irregularities in communications alerted scientists to the glitch. Both rovers have greatly exceeded their original mission of 3 months. They’ve been there over 5 years. [...] Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. A headline I found from April 11th reads; Danish hackers meld lawn mower with Nintendo Wii. “The result of the clever experiment is Casmobot: The Computer Assisted Slope Mower Robot, which is part of something called the Plant NursingRobotics program in Denmark. Plant Nursing [...] You gotta love the way this article starts; “Sometimes, technology isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.” An Oshkosh woman was attempting to travel to Laona from the White Lake area when her GPS gave her what it thought was the best route. Instead, it triggered a series of misfortunes which left her stranded on [...] While reading articles via Google news, as I’m prone to do, I clicked on an article titled: Microsoft targets Linux, IBM with Windows Server for really small biz. My opinion of the article will be noted in my next article. It’s not so much the article itself, but computerworld.com that rubbed me wrong. One [...] Tomorrow, the people of the world have the opportunity to demonstrate their unity. Between 8:30-pm and 9:30pm in each time zone people around the world are planning to turn-off their lights. And, everything else that uses power. This is our opportunity to show the powers-that-be we are united in the effort to change our [...] Six months, or so, ago I was brow-beaten’ to remove Linux from our community computer (that’s the one everybody else in my house uses) and reinstall Windows. With great reluctance and a warning I complied. The warning; “If it gets infected, someone else in this house is going to learn how to install Windows. I’m done with it!” I was greeted with a note from my daughter this morning;
 I think everyone can acknowledge, technology itself isn’t always guilty of making our lives complex and/or problematic. In fact, very often it’s the person using the technology that causes self-imposed grief. Towards that end, I found this incredibly funny story you’ve just gotta read… http://www.mollynoir.com/carolineinparis/2009/03/03/technology-bites/ Okay, locked-out I can see, but locked-in? Technology not [...] I work creating and maintaining websites and applications. Seems like everything on the ‘net gets cached at some point. It can be a real P.I.T.A. to keep track of where cache is created, when to clean it and when to leave it alone. Some of the sites I care for are CMS based. Don’t get me wrong, I think CMS’s are great. They save a lot of time and keep the content separate from the design elements. Which makes life easier. Some however, have caching built-in. And the built-in caching actually works from a performance stand-point. What bites, is the necessity to periodically clean the cache. With tens of thousands of cache files, just getting the cache display page to load takes forever. Deleting the files takes time too and it’s never a single-pass operation.
