Digg. Moving Away From the Small Community that it Once was.

I recently noticed that now the digg logo at the top of the Digg.com website now has the small little ™ trademark symbol next to it. Here is a screen capture of it.


And here is a screen capture that I took when when I wrote a little rant about Digg v3.

My Google is Cooler Than Yours!

Well, I have to say that I really dig this sexy style for Google.com. You too have have a cool Google like mine. All you need the the worlds most customizable web browser, aka Firefox, the extension that makes unbearable web sites bearable, Stylish, and these cool little Stylish scripts. To install those scripts all you have to do is click the (for example) GoogleWebSearch.css link, highlight the code, and copy it to the clipboard. Then click the Stylish icon in the status bar, click Manage Styles, then click Write. Now all you have to do is paste the code in the large text box, and enter a description (or name) for the style. See, easy as pie! Enjoy your new sexier Google! If you want even more styles for the Stylish extension you can visit UserStyles.org.

iPods

I just got the new 5.5 Generation iPod. It's really nice. I love the improved batter life, brighter screen, and the new search feature is killer!

However, I am having a problem. The reason I got a new iPod was because I thought that it would solve my problem.

So, here's the deal: When I try to sync my photos with my iPod I get this lovely error dialouge.



Nice isn't it? Well, I have created a thread in Apple's iTunes support forum. Hopefully I'll get a solution to my problem. I've tried everything to fix this except re-installing Tiger, and hopefully I don't have to re-install Tiger. So, if any of you guys that read my blog (I don't think anyone reads my blog) think you may have a solution, go ahead and post it in my thread. If you don't have an Apple ID you could post the answer in the comments of this entry.

Dell Customer Gets Windows Refunded

Dell today gave freelance programmer and sysadmin Dave Mitchell, of Sheffield, UK, a refund of 47 pounds ($89) for the unused copy of Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2 bundled with his new Dell Inspiron 640m laptop, Mitchell says. Dell also refunded the tax, for a total of £55.23 ($105).

This is an interesting little article about how Dave Mitchell was refunded the full price of Windows, because he did not agree with the EULA, and was going to install Linux instead.

Here To Stay

I am here to stay! I am not moving my blog after all.

Digg Down


Interesting. Digg.com is down. I wander if this is just some routine maintenance or if this is a major upgrade?
