Firefox 3

Published by James under Personal

I don’t follow browser development that closely. I know there are some who download nightly builds and all that, but I guess I have things to do.
Anyway, Mozilla put on quite a little song and dance to promote their Firefox browser recently. A lot of sites had news about how they were trying [...]

Gallery Added

Published by James under Personal

When I mentioned putting in a garden a few weeks ago, Ogre said he wanted pics. You wish is my command, old friend. I got my mom a digital camera for Mother’s Day and she’s been snapping pics of the garden.
There are two galleries full of photos of the garden. They show [...]

New TV Review Site Needs Writers

Published by James under Personal, Site

I’ve been trying to get this done for a while now, but I finally managed to export all of the TV-related content from this blog and have built another site for it.
TV-Reviewed was recently launched and contains most of my TV content. Some of it was deleted because I didn’t think it should [...]

For roughly the last fifteen years, my family has put in a garden. For a while, it slowly got smaller, but in the past few years, we have expanded it to its largest size. Putting in a garden is a lot of hard work, let me tell you. But having a tiller [...]

Another Dell in Production

Published by James under Gaming, Personal

I’ve currently got two Dell computers on my desk and I’m about to replace the older one with a new machine. I’ve built my own computers in the past, but I’ve been very happy with the two Dells that I’ve received and really don’t enjoy building my own. The odds of getting a [...]

Vista vs XP

Published by James under Gaming, Personal

I’ve seen a lot of headlines about Windows Vista and XP on sites like digg lately. Vista isn’t being purchased by businesses because of drivers, slowness of machines, memory consumption, etc, and some people seem to think that Vista is doomed.
I just don’t see MS giving up on the OS anytime soon. As [...]

Back to the Gym

Published by James under Personal

I have been slacking off on my workouts. I haven’t attended the gym in a while now and I can feel it. This morning, I hit the gym and it didn’t take long before I was exhausted. My legs are still about as strong as they were before I took a break, [...]

Ogre’s Pizza Disaster

Published by James under Personal

When I read about Ogre’s pizza problems yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. Not only did he get a bad pizza, but his stone broke in the oven. That’s just bad luck.
Not to gloat or anything, but I never have these problems because of two reasons.
1) I never buy boxed [...]

In a silly mistake, I forgot to pay the cable bill on time and late Thursday night, Charter disabled my Internet. Initially, I didn’t know about the mistake about the bill. I had thought my modem died or something, so I even went out and bought a new one. Fat load a [...]

South Beloit Park Walk

Published by James under Personal

Instead of my typical walking on a treadmill at the local gym, I decided to walk along a bicycle path the city has in the park. Since the path goes over a small lake, it’s impossible to see how far it goes on for until you actually walk it. I would estimate the [...]
