Well said. Actually, sometimes it ...
Well, it’s been a bit of a difficult slog, but I’ve made a slew of changes to the blog template to allow for the site to be better-rendered by a variety of browsers.

Featuring...
    It’s going back a few years, but the company I was working for back then sent me to a Windows NT 4.0 launch event. A bunch of us went, though it didn’t really have a lot to do with us, but there were invitations, plus free food and swag at the venue. Jump to the new comic, or click the banner to begin at the first one:
Thanks for everyone who came in-world for John Jainschigg and Kim Smith’s interview with me about the comic and whatnot. It was scary and great talking with you all! It’s taken me a while to figure out the niche for Google Wave, but I can pretty much see it now. Or at least what it is at present. Recently, I’ve been toying with the idea of shucking Windows XP and flirting with the idea of purchasing Windows 7. I picked up Windows XP with a new system close to the last days it was still available. Talking the matter over with a friend, led to a conversation that went something like this: Even the best Windows-based computer rigs can get bogged down, when you want to get the most performance out of them, whether you want that performance for Second Life or for general gaming. In your average Windows system, your RAM and your CPU cycles get nickle-and-dimed away by all sorts of background tasks and services, few or none of which you actually need at the time you want your system performing at its best.
Through the console wars so far, no console vendor has actually ‘won’. Even when there’s been a clear leader, competition has been stiff, even fierce. Certainly strong enough to fuel competition moving forward into the next generation. The national law firm of McKool Smith is announcing a permanent injunction and total damages and interest of more than $290 million against software giant Microsoft Corp. in a Texas patent infringement lawsuit won by Toronto-based technology provider i4i Inc. That permanent injunction prohibits Microsoft from selling or importing to the United States any Microsoft Word products that have the capability of opening .XML, .DOCX or DOCM files (XML files) containing custom XML. The court is requiring Microsoft to comply with the injunction within 60 days. So, lots of folks find Microsoft’s tactic of releasing multiple variations (or editions, if you prefer) of their Windows Operating System to be a wee bit on the hateful side. Windows Vista particularly was frequently referred to as suffering from “edition chaos”. Windows 7, it seems, will only have three variations. What if Microsoft didn’t release all the variations at once, but instead spaced them out annually? Home Premium, then Professional the following year, then Ultimate the year after. Would we like them any more then?
