Apple Fscking iTunes

Posted by: jebbx on: May 13, 2009

Apple iTunes, the worlds most popular media player is kak.
Let me explain. I was listening on 5FM about the performance of one of the American Idols and how he had done Michael Jacksons Black and White to, well, metal. That to me sounded awesome, what with me being a metal head and all. So I [...]

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.

VodaShop Service up the Creek

Posted by: jebbx on: May 12, 2008

My wife and I went to the Vincent Park Vodashop on the 1st of May to change her details into her married name and upgrade her contract from a TopUp to a Weekender. The gentlemen that assisted us was helpful, efficient and we left knowing that her name would be changed, that the contract would [...]

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?
