>Oh the woe. I really wanted AMD to powerhouse Intel out… they had their 15 minutes.Again, I was with AMD when they got ahead of the trend back with the K6-2… then PIII came along and whump’d em.

>Ozone Oddity
>I just read this article on the increasing hole in the ozone. You’ll notice at the end it states “The CFCs have decreased since most countries signed a treaty in 1997 to reduce emissions”. This is the Kyoto treaty. A well intentioned agreement between the world powers, of course it actually ammounts to no more then a .7% (I’ll dig up the actual # so I don’t miss-inform) reduction. I just needed to comment on this very large stretch of an aticle. I realize it’s a sensitive subject when people are thinking you’re saying “the environment isn’t worth saving”. That’s…
>XBox 360 Laptop by Ben Heck
>I’m putting this on the main page because this is one of the most indepth conversions I’ve ever seen. This guy knows his shit, and dang if he didn’t do a bang up job. If he could mass market these it would be big, real big. XBox 360 Laptop by Ben Heck
>Windows Vista & URGE
>I installed Vista RC1 last night, you can find the ISO here. You’ll need to be a customer preview program member because it needs a serial #, but if you got Beta 2 when that was released you should be all set. RC1 installed much more smoothly, and has all the features, but is still missing some polish. It was a great preview and it’s usable until 5/31/2007 (I’m assuming release date for Vista?) Along with Vista came URGE, which after hearing the following advertised on Howard this morning, is apparently a new trend in media services – the internet:…
>9 11 2006
>I went looking through my archives to see what I was doing that day. I remembered that I didn’t have a blog at that time. Blogs were still relatively new, and I had just heard about it when I started the year before. I didn’t start one earlier because I felt I just didn’t have anything to say — it just comes when you’ve got an outlet. I really wanted to express myself that day, and didn’t have an outlet, which led me to creating it later in the month. Here are several 9/11 posts which don’t really seem to…
>MapMyRun / Google Earth of Our Bike Ride
> Last month Nicole wrote about the tour de Holyoke:http://www.mapmyrun.com/rss.php?u=65742cafb273e12fc7bb968b5fca065e That’s the link to the RSS for my runs, any trip I take that I can map I will, and the RSS will update, so add that to an RSS feed to automatically get them! You could also go old school “run of the mill HTML”http://www.mapmyrun.com/view_route.php?r=b290555aa918078b42b1001e877c1a8e note, they are both split into two lines, combine them to go to the right site.It’s so I don’t mess up the blog formatting until I can get somewhere to edit the hyperlinks
>TunnelVision.biz rambling
> I’ve almost finished TunnelVision.biz for Nicole’s brother. Once the main page is done, updates and additional info pages are quick to come. I want to make sure he’s happy with the main page – then I’ll add the others. Too many times I’ve created the whole thing, then after changing the template I’ve had to go back and re-do each minor change manually throughout the rest of the site’s pages. There’s one minor finishing touch I’ll bring attention to: the translucent box to the left of the blog needs to go down a little further to match the bottom…

>Camping Trip (August 26th)
> Well it’s been a while. I went on vacation the 24th and apparently I disapeared.We headed up to Vermont on Saturday to go camping at Ed’s. Green River Resevoir may be next year, but we had a blast creating our own path up a mountain.We camped up on top of Armstrong Mountain in Fletcher/Cambridge. It’s not my brother’s property, but real close by. It was higher then our previous site, and quite a bit more difficult to get to but it was a great spot. We were up on the top of the mountain, and after packing down the…
