You know how you’re told that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all? Notice how quite the blog has been this week after a burst of blogging last week? Notice how I’m not saying anything about Microsoft right now? That’s all I’m saying for now (glances over at…
Even if your PC running Microsoft Media Center Edition was fully patched for the daylight savings time change, there is a problem effecting many people where shows that were scheduled to be recorded did not correctly change their record start and stop times. Thus many people, including myself, have had shows missed. I’m quite…
I picked this up off of Joe Healy’s business blog. What a great video! Everyone should watch it. For those of us who have been around for a while, it just drives home that what we’ve seen so far is nothing compared to what’s coming! My first home computer had 4k of memory…
As everyone nows, the dates that daylight savings time changes have changed. Cingular, who is my carrier, sent me a sms text message about the fix needed for my 8125 phone. I installed the update last week with no problem on both of our 8125’s. This morning, while all of our PC’s and…

In our case, our business, TLA Technologies, Inc. needs to make sure that we’re ahead of our customer’s needs. So…
I have a bit of a "thing" for keyboards (they are afterall your main interface with your computer!). Over the past five years, I’ve probably owned 10 different types of keyboards from several different manufacturers. Recently I’ve been using the Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v2.0 with its matching Laser Mouse 6000. The…
Recently, I had the pleasure of taking a training class on SharePoint 2007 offered by Ted Pattison. If you look at the About page on his site, you’ll see that Ted has been in the computer business forever and has been doing training for more than 10 years. While I was in his class, I…
Miguel Castro tagged me for this. Thanks buddy. Allrighty, let’s see here… #1 – I was born in The Netherlands. My father was apparently a VIP at Citicorp in the 60’s and he traveled the world for them. I popped out when he and mom were in The Netherlands. #2 – I was kidnapped when…
