Google Chrome

Technology Comments Off

Google Chrome is now available for the Intel Mac. It’s a beta-browser, but it is fast. Faster than FireFox. Faster than IE was. Faster than Safari. I kind of like it. I recommend that you download it, if you haven’t already. Too bad they don’t have something this fast for my old G5. I’m thinking of trashing that computer, though.

Weekend Accomplishments

Family, Technology 1 Comment

Take note, I have a new email address. This time it downloads to both my computers’ Thunderbirds. That way if anyone emails me, there’s a very little chance that I won’t get it. Of course there are always technical issues, such as if the domain it’s hosted on is down or no longer registered, but I don’t think I’ll have to deal with that for at least two years.
I’ve gotten a lot done this weekend. I threw out the old ragged quilt that was on the bed and replaced it with a new, washable quilt. Hey, it was three years old and smelled like the dog! I also filled the bed some more so I don’t sink to the bottom. I cleaned up the bathroom and even am contemplating cleaning Seth and Baxter’s cage today. After I have something to eat, that is!
I have a question.
Does anyone have and DVD copying software they really recommend? I have a MacBookPro, and a stack of blank DVDs and I wanted to copy over my DVD+RW discs from 2003-2005 onto permanent DVDs. The problem? iDVD sucks. It takes forever to copy a single DVD and it takes up so much of the computer’s resources that the computer lags. I need something that will copy the 4.8 GB discs in about thirty minutes so I can have all of them copied and some duplicated for my mom, by tonight. Just a little project to keep me busy on this cold Sunday afternoon.
Before anyone suggests it, I’ve already searched Google. I’d like some personal feedback, if that’s possible. I have about thirty DVDs to burn by 10pm tonight. Any ideas?

Ad Rejection

Technology 1 Comment

There seems to be some communication gap going on here. So I’ll make it a little plainer.
I am not going to be accepting any EC ads of any kind until I know for sure they’re not going to go fourth a force paid ads on my site. Paid ads are against my hosting’s terms of service and I could lose my sites and nearly a decade of hard work and writing on the web because of this. So please don’t offer to advertise on my site until Monday morning. It sucks, I know. We’ll get through it.

Tech Help?

Technology 1 Comment

Everyone knows that I have archives from 2000 that I need to get back on the web. The sad thing is, they were originally generated by Blogger and then later on GreyMatter. I have them in HTML format, but the HTML is for Mac OS 9, and virtually impossible to read via modern browsers.
If anyone can fix these archives to a MovableType/WordPress .xml importable format, I’ll gladly buy you a 1 year paid account, extension, or PayPal you $20. I just can’t get the files to cooperate and I wanted to reupload my 2000/2001 entries.
Also, if I were my 2002/2008 entries, where would I have saved them???? Snow Leopard has a build like Windows and I don’t know where the default save folder is.
