Mobile Intelligence – Finally!

Posted by: jebbx on: February 20, 2009

I’m very glad to hear that the leading mobile manufacturers have finally agreed to a standard interface for power charging for their mobile phones. I’m especially pleased to hear that they’re considering the micro-usb interface which many cellphones already have. Hopefully they’ll take a bit more intelligence and allow multiple uses for the interface, which [...]

I think I’m Obsolete…

Posted by: jebbx on: February 6, 2009

As you can tell from this blog, and from yesterday’s post, I like to play around with programming code, such as visual basic, c#, and web languages like HTML, and JavaScript. By no means do I consider myself a programmer, not like Mook, but I do know my way around. So you can imagine my chagrin [...]

Pet Peeve – Non-Windows Certified Applications

Posted by: jebbx on: October 22, 2008

Here’s a quick way to piss me off. Provide a service, provide software for that service, and don’t bother writing the software according to Windows guidelines. Yes, that’s right, I’m talking to you ass-whipe who wants me to give administrative access to an end user in a production environment because “my application writes to the [...]

Windows Vista Business Edition Sp1

Posted by: jebbx on: October 21, 2008

Well, this is just a quick note; it’s been almost two weeks since I installed Vista onto my notebook, and so far, knock on wood, it’s been a very good experience. The installation took 30 minutes, with the driver portion taking about a similar amount of time. Not too shabby.
I’m using a Dell Vostro 1710, [...]

ASP.NET using C#

Posted by: jebbx on: October 21, 2008

A little earlier this year I decided to move from using ASP v3.0 (VBScript) to C# on the .NET Framework v3.5. There were, of course, some issues: I had never programmed in C# before, and I had never setup an ASP.NET website. But hey, that’s half the fun of programming! Right? Right? er… right?

VMWare Server v2.0000000hhhh crap…

Posted by: jebbx on: October 18, 2008

I installed VMWare Server 2.0. Thus far, my recommendation? Don’t. It’s shit. It sucks. I hope it can figure out someway to redeem itself.

Skillz

Posted by: jebbx on: September 18, 2008

I attended a Microsoft road show to day that spoke of Small Business Server 2008 and Essential Server 2008, their inclusions, target market and other nitbits. The roadshow also spoke of the new Live experience, Popfly, and a few other Microsoft technologies, that, while not entirely original or new, were quite impressive.

Thoughts on Kae’edra

Posted by: jebbx on: September 9, 2008

Yesterday I mentioned that I want to be a writer, even if I become a game writer, I would be well pleased with myself. Over the years I have been developing a game world that adheres to the 3.5 version of the d20 ruleset by Wizards of the Coast. Recently I have been doing some [...]

My Favourite Game

Posted by: jebbx on: September 5, 2008

Oblivion, from Bethesda. I really enjoy this game. It’s so easy to lose several hours of ones life to this, much to the eternal annoyance of Bunny, can’t blame her, really, but the glorious sumptuousness (ouch, horrible grammar) of the graphic engine, artificial intelligence, and general eye candy, just makes it… 

This is teh awesome!

It’s a printer that, well, prints itself! That’s just cool. More info here.


My ramblings, idiocies, nerfings, frothings, and occassionaly display of intellectualism... I said occasional, right?
