Day to Day Stuff

I think I will do a blog post today!

Why, just because I can. Nothing special really. Oh, an XBOX price cut yesterday. That is pretty nice.

Firefox 2.0 Rocks (no duh)

Ed Hassinger — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 22:51:00 GMT

I'm a fan of MSFT, but I just don't trust the privacy issues of WGA. I finally wanted tabbed browsing, and installed Firefox. The tabs are so handy for finding open pages and avoiding crap on your Windows taskbar. The text find feature takes getting use to, but is really awesome. There are some other small tweaks, but it's otherwise the same. It maybe a bit faster than IE 6. I suspect IE 7 works just as well in many ways, I've only used the beta. It's just so nice to finally have tabbed browsing. It makes daily browsing a lot better. Now, time to explore Firefox plugins, that is what really puts it ahead of IE. They just don't add new stuff to IE quick enough.

USB Hub

Yesterday, my cheapo basically free HUB didn't do everything I wanted on my XBOX. So I ordered a great USB self/bus powered one with 7 ports (has type A and B). I'm so psyched! Now I can have my vision camera and bluetooth/USB keyboard working together. And have an easy port for my bus powered portable USB drive and/or MP3 player. All working from the back USB port so the front face is clean.

XMAS 2006 Shopping!

Ed Hassinger — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 22:43:00 GMT

I've 23 items from buy.com this year! After their Google checkout coupon for $20 off, and rebates I'm getting items free or making money! I'm checking the rebates carefully, as not to get screwed. These are basically gaming or PC items, which I can always use. Christmas is really the best time of the year. For glutany! I really don't splurge on buying, but to get great gift and PC stuff for about $5 all-told, how can I resist. Stuff like Photo printers, 2 Gig memory drives, and 2 Gig SD memory cards. I'll provide links to the item (and maybe the coupon) later.... Time to do more shopping!

Jackson is smart

Ed Hassinger — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 22:40:00 GMT

He knows about 1/3 of the alphabet well, 1/3 most of the time (or when chosen from a small group). He's not even 2 years old. Go Jackson! He knows these well: A, H, T, P....(more) He knows these most of the time: B, C, D, X, U....(more) I need to keep better track when I quiz him with his tub letters!

XBOX 360

I got mine recently, can't wait to get home and hook it up!

Working in New Orleans

Ed Hassinger — Fri, 11 Nov 2005 21:24:00 GMT

I missed the bulk of it, but it's pretty interesting seeing how the recovery is going. Let's just say the government (as you might expect) is not highly organized or using cutting-edge technology. It's all politics as usual.

I haven't blogged in a while, so here goes.

More to come...

ALL SITES AVAILABLE!!!

Ed Hassinger — Wed, 01 Jun 2005 20:00:00 GMT

After a multiple, massive hardware failure all web sites are now up and running. Most data was salvaged. Best of all, I'm not running on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. So things are much better off now.

Kick Butt New Photo Album

Ed Hassinger — Fri, 18 Mar 2005 22:53:00 GMT

Here is the new and improved photo gallery. There are 650 photos so far, and I've only gone back as far as Xmas 04. More to come....

Pretty soon, the old photo pages will be merged into this and removed.
