[mutter]
You know when you have those moments when you have a rush of thoughts and ideas that go so fast and there are a few that you really want to remember but when it’s all done there’s this mental let-down when you realize you lost them all?

Spam: debjesusislord
I keep getting this email called “People on the Move” from “debjesusislord”. I don’t know why I ever started getting it in the first place, and I surely hope that this seemingly ministry-oriented person isn’t knowingly running a spam-campaign. So, giving the benefit of the doubt, I tried sending emails to unsubscribe from the email…

Stop gun laws. Strengthen enforcement.
As a nationwide gun ban in Brazil is due for a vote, I’m left to wonder if the anti-gun movement is just simply off-target. The article linked above mentions that the armed police are feared more than the armed drug dealers who walk the streets. Take guns away from lawful Brazilian citizens? What’s to stop…

$100 laptop from MIT Media Labs
A $100 windup-powered laptop targeted at children in developing nations? Children in developing nations? More like, everyone in the U.S. For $100, I’ll bet there would be masses of people around the globe lined up to get them. Granted, it won’t have all the features of what we normally think of as a laptop, but…

I’m corn intolerant
Isn’t that a crazy thing to say? Anyway, I’ve had this reaction to some foods for years, and I’ve been trying to figure it out. Lots of different pizzas would cause problems for me, some pasta sauces and salsas. Other foods with some sort of sauce as well. So, I was thinking it might be…

Was able to connect with OS 10.2.8 to Win 2000 server using Active Directory authentication (Troubleshooting, continued)
I tried on my old standby Mac at home (an old G3 Blue and White running OS 10.2.8). I had to first connect to the MSU Virtual Private Network, but once I logged on to the VPN, I was able to Connect to Server and mount the volume I’ve been after. Now, to see if…

Comment troubles
In case you’re wondering, I realize this blog is having issues with TypeKey–so nobody can comment for now. I’ll get to it.

Coming soon? Dual-boot, Mac & Win
So all this talk about Apple moving its OS to x86 processors makes me think that at some point down the road, we’ll be able to buy a system from Apple (because they won’t officially permit the OS to run on just any computer – not that hacks aren’t already running) that has OS 10.5…
