1. On The Road: Gadget Patrol, Lessons Learned

    Wed 11 April 2007
    By John Mark Schofield in Technology

    I've done several kinds of travel -- primarily the personal type where you travel for months out of a backpack, and traveling to a specific place for a time period for business -- either training or to fix a problem at a client.

    This, however, is a first for me -- traveling for …

  2. BrowseBack Impresses

    Sat 20 May 2006
    By John Mark Schofield in Technology

    So I've been playing with BrowseBack lately, and I'm pretty impressed. It's a Macintosh product that keeps a running watch on what web pages you visit (you can exclude pages like webmail, your online banking sites, etc.) in a permanent archive on your computer. (You can set it to take …

    Thu 04 May 2006
    By John Mark Schofield in Technology

    So I just upgraded my office computer from a dual-processor G5 to a new "Quad-Proc" ((Of course, it's not REALLY quad-processor. It's two dual-core processors.

  5. A Grit-Your-Teeth Kind of Week

    Fri 11 November 2005
    By John Mark Schofield in Technology

    It was a grit-your-teeth kind of week.

    The task before me seemed simple. Install backup software on a server so that we can back up our other servers to our Overland LTO2 tape jukebox.

    Well, the software we spec'd out was BRU, from Tolisgroup. We needed to install it on …

  6. CherryOS vs. PearPC: Why People Care

    Sat 12 March 2005
    By John Mark Schofield in Technology

    There's an excellent article at DrunkenBlog showing a damning pile of evidence that the commercial product CherryOS contains stolen code from the PearPC project and a number of other open-source projects.

  7. WordPress First Impressions

    Sat 12 March 2005
    By John Mark Schofield in Technology

    First of all, I have to say that WordPress rocks. I've gone through just about every blogging / CMS / Wiki / whatever-based tool out there, and WordPress is absolutely the best I've seen.
