Adobe Lightroom

Adobe has released it’s new application Lightroom today. In their own words: New Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the perfect complement to Adobe Photoshop. Use Lightroom to import, manage, adjust, and present large volumes of digital photographs, and use Photoshop to more thoroughly refine individual images. Together, Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop work the way the digital [...]

Bike Battery Battles

Over the past couple of weeks, I have not been riding the bike as often as I normally do. Nor do I ride as far as I used to. I used to go over 40 miles each way every day to the office, but now, I’m only riding 2 to 3 miles per day – [...]

Snow!

[Finally...] It’s been a while since we’ve had snow, but today we now have a couple of inches on the ground and more still coming. This has been a strange winter – almost Houston-like. It hasn’t been very cold, nor has it really snowed until today. I’m totally stoked since I love snow. But, it [...]

My main purpose is to check out some BMW models that are not yet in the showrooms and see what other manufactures are offering. Oh – and to drop of my sweepstakes entry [...]

It took some doing, but I think everything is working. I had to re-install it because my multi-segmented home network [...]

I did not only some email server configuration [I removed one of the processors that might be a problem], but I also did some firewall configurations. The site has been inaccessible for a couple of hours, but it’s back now. Please forgive any inconvenience… if [...]

Fun With Networks

Today, I have been having a blast configuing my new ISA Server 2006. I have to say it has been quite a learning experience. It can do some really cool things, but sometimes I think it’s too smart for itself. It goes off and does “stuff” in the background. Now, that “stuff” has sometimes been [...]

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2007. I hope you are all being safe out there and not overindulging. I also wish everyone well on the finish of 2006 and the begining of 2007. May the new year bring a new start for everyone!
