No IE7 Support For Win2k

Microsoft doesn’t plan to support IE7 on Win2K, which is ironic considering the same blog entry says that Microsoft is extending supporting for Win2K beyond June 30, 2005.
There are two important events that will happen to the support policy for Windows 2000 after June 30th of this year.

Yahoo! Sued For Failure To Remove Dirty Pictures Of User

According to Cecilia Barnes, men have shown up at her place of employment in Oregon expecting to be able to have sex with her. Which is odd, because she’s not a sex therapist or a prostitute. Perhaps less odd, though, is when you learn that, at least according to Barnes, her ex-boyfriend [...]

Coffee Shops Start Turning Wi-Fi Off On Weekends

Some coffee shops are starting to tell their customers to “drop in, turn off, and tune in.” Only unlike Timothy Leary, who uttered the original and infamous “turn on, tune in, and drop out,” the coffee shops are talking about free Wi-Fi, not drugs.

PowerToys For Media Player - We Have A Winner!

Tireless Microsoft afficianado Ken finally came up with the REAL download link for the MS Windows XP Bonus Pack, which includes the PowerToys for Media Player for Windows XP. He beat the Microsoft representative, who may or may not ever reply to the ‘missing link’ complaint I sent in.

Digging The Desktop Heap

Far from being that pile of icons you keep up in the top lefthand corner, this is a limit imposed by Windows on how many discrete desktop windows you can have open at any one time. It can stop you dead in your tracks if you’re really into a heavy-duty project of some kind that [...]

Papa Doo Run Run

It has been a couple of years since we last checked in with the subjects of today’s site, so I thought since summer is truly a state of mind (and after the winter we’ve had, who can wait?), a visit with one of the premier fun in the sun groups would be a great way [...]

Quixotic Qwesting Quells Quibbling Qonnection Qonundrum

Oh, this is a fun Friday… I’ve got nothing better to do than to sit around the house and wait for the phone guy to show up and install a few lines for the show. This is almost like waiting for Godot - only a lot more exciting. We should be able to start taking [...]

Plummit

The premise in Plummit is simple: Keep water flowing down pipes without letting any spill. The really fun part comes when you introduce the various game objects, such as magnets, mirrors, acid baths, cannons, hoverlifts, and a fire-breathing head named Hedley. Plummit allows you to play in three modes of play: Action, Puzzle, and Combat. [...]

ImageMagick v6.2.3

ImageMagick is a powerful command-line tool to create, edit, and convert images in various formats. The program can be used from the command-line or used from other programs, including Perl, ASP, and PHP scripts. ImageMagick supports more than 90 image formats, including GIF, JPG, JPEG-2000, PNG, and many others. It offers a wide variety of [...]

Tile Machine

One of the things that I love about the Internet is that there’s never a shortage of goofy stuff you can do to waste time. That may sound like a stupid statement, but that’s because it is. Using the Internet for worthwhile purposes is great, but when you feel like you can’t do anymore serious [...]
