My Gigabit switch has died. Why? Who knows… I certainly don’t. I’m disappointed. I came home this evening and my switch had only one light on it and no link lights on at all. I have for the moment replaced it with a 100MB switch, but I wonder if Linksys will repair/replace it for me… [...]

I have just had my first experience with Adobe Lightroom [the beta version] and I have to say that it is VERY cool. You can do all sorts of things with it and I think that using it for managing photos is probably much more productive than using Canon’s DPP + Adobe Bridge & Photoshop [...]

That’s it for my Vista running for a while. I’m gonig back to XP. Why? Well, over all, Vista is great, but there are a couple of issues that bother me for my specific needs. First, there’s the fact that I cannot use the Microsoft RAW Photo Viewer to view my RAW photos. I have [...]

I have noticed a massive decrease in the amount of junk and SPAM comments and trackbacks on the site since moving to WordPress. I don’t know if that because it’s harder to generate or that the automated spammers don’t yet know the links to comment yet… which I suppose is more likely the case. Either [...]

We have spent the last couple of days walking, riding, and driving around New York City and I have to say: I’m tired. No wonder the people here are skinny. Yesterday, it was so hot and humid that I think I lost 10 pounds by the end of the day. Not to worry, though. After [...]

We are now sitting in the lobby of the Waldorf=Astoria hotel. I have to say it is quite snooty. Our room is kind of small, however, but nice. Now that we have taken a very long time to get here, we are tired and hungry. I think we might even have some NY-style pizza… I [...]

This is my first ever bolg entry from my phone. We are on our way to NYC and have stopped off in Delaware to buy shoes for Laura. I hope we can find some cheap ones! More later…

In the wee early hours of the morning [well, "wee early" to us at least], Laura and I will head to New York City where we will get to stay for free at the Waldorf=Astoria hotel [which I've mentioned before, I belive]. We’re hoping that it doesn’t rain too much due to that tropical storm [...]

It looks as if I will be going to Germany in September – the week before Oktoberfest. Looks like I’ll miss it by a couple of days. Not to worry, though – I’m sure it will be fun anyway. I’ll be getting some training, well, maybe not training as such, but it’s an expert community [...]

Today, we are down from our “scorching” heat and into a much more pleasant temperature. This morning’s ride took me up into the mountains where the fog was still hanging and the temperature was in the low 70s. After riding up here in the high 90s a couple of days ago, I have to say [...]
