I read this article for a while at work today, and it's spot on. I've tried to program against Linux before, and it was a nightmare. I chose to try using a C# compiler from the Mono project, and a free (because everything for Linux is free) IDE

I'm pretty sure I want this. Introducing... the HTC Touch HD - MoDaCo

Emmi is out of town for the latter part of this week, so once again, I am temporarily a bachelor of sorts. Now, you might ask yourself "Mike - how do you spend your time now that you're temporarily a bachelor of sorts?", but that would be

Fuzzy sent me a link to this video: I really don't even know what to say about it. I actually watched the whole thing. I've long been of the opinion that, if you took all of the time that people have used to create things like this, and devoted

So Apple announced their new 3G iPhone today, and I was seriously considering purchasing one. That is until I read these two articles. This article posits that AT&T and Apple are making it so that one will need to activate the iPhone in the

I have absolutely nothing to write about, but I'm not going to let that stop me from making a blog post, seeing as how I haven't made one for a while. I've found this really cool application for my iPhone that looks for Wi-Fi/Cellular towers

I'm sure I'll forget where I got these, but they're pretty cool. So, memo to myself: You got them here .

Some idiot on Digg posted a story a while ago about what software he installs after a fresh install of Windows. I recently did this myself, so I figured I'd jump in, too. Windows Vista Ultimate Windows Update Windows Update again (seriously... why

I really hate that fucking song. Come to think of it, I've developed a strong distaste for a lot of the "Oh-woe-is-me:-I'm-lonely-tonight-and-I-wish-I-had-a-nice-girl-who-could-bake-while-I'm-out-with-my-chums" style songs of the

I just got home. Ok, that's not strictly accurate. I got home about 20 minutes ago. Before I sat down at the computer, I took a shower because, well, I needed it. Without getting into too much detail, I'm the tester for Komponent Y on Feature

I've given up on Ubuntu Linux for now. No matter what I do, the title bars, control buttons, and frames of the windows disappear shortly after I enable Compiz Fusion. I've seen all of the suggested fixes for this, and none of them work. So, with

Forgive the overwhelming geekiness of this post, but - no, I take that back. If you don't like this, I hate you. Over the last week, I've made some big changes to my computing environment at home. I figured that I'd record some of my observations

From an IM conversation with a co-worker about some code he was reading: D00dMan [3:05 PM]: Average = ElapsedSeconds / (Size - 1); gee most of the time size is 1! (See, 1 - 1 is 0. You can't divide by 0. - mikey) Mikey [3:07 PM]:
