    Lexmark X9575 Loses Out

    ByAlfred Ayache Fri Jul 25, 2008Sat Jul 26, 2008

    A few weeks ago I picked up a Lexmark X9575 Wireless 4-in-1 printer, scanner, dicer, chopper, at Costco.  It’s sat in the box, unopened, since then; not because I’m a lazy sloth (I am, but that’s another post, probably written by my wife), but rather because I looked up whether it was supported in Ubuntu. …

    Strategy Building Session With Michael Geist

    ByAlfred Ayache Fri Jul 25, 2008

    They called it a “strategy building session”, but it sure felt like a pep rally to me.  Don’t get me wrong: there’s nothing wrong with pep rallies.  Especially when they’re done right.  And this one was done very well.  From the hip and inspiring location, to the fresh snacks, to the articulate, well-informed, engaging speakers;…

    Strangle the Yak Now!

    ByAlfred Ayache Wed Jul 23, 2008Wed Jul 23, 2008

    The spectrum auction is over, and from all accounts, the big winner of the new entrants is Globalive, which runs the “I can’t believe it’s a phone company!” Yak Communications. Myself, I can’t believe they’ve survived this long!  These buffoons are so massively incompetent it staggers the imagination.

    Look Up. Look Way Up.

    ByAlfred Ayache Mon Jul 21, 2008

    Another couple of tweaks to the blog.  The first one is transparent to users: I’ve added Google Analytics to the code, so I can tell how many people haven’t visited my pages. The second is near and dear to my heart: I’ve added a favicon.  These appear on the address bar and tab of your…

    More Firefox 3 Plugins You Didn’t Know You Couldn’t Live Without

    ByAlfred Ayache Fri Jul 18, 2008

    I’ve been frustrated after the conversion to FF 3.0, looking for the Dictionary.com search engine.  The Mozilla addons site only has the Merriam-Webster engine.  I went hunting for it on the Dictionary.com site, and finally found the link: https://dictionary.reference.com/tools/firefox.html gives you access to the dictionary, thesaurus and reference engines.

    Joss Whedon Does It Again!

    ByAlfred Ayache Fri Jul 18, 2008Fri Jul 18, 2008

    What cool people I work with!  Today at 12:30, we gathered in the boardroom with our lunches.  Buddy Richard hooked up his MacBook Pro (oh!  How I’m missing Bender.  And it’s only the first day…) to the projector, and regaled us with the first episode of Joss Whedon’s latest effort: a micro-miniseries (3 episodes, 15…

    Goin’ Goth

    ByAlfred Ayache Thu Jul 17, 2008Thu Jul 17, 2008

    I’m enormously proud to be launching the first tweak to my WordPress theme.  Forget the blue.  We’re going black and white. “What’s with the picture,” you ask?  Here’s a hint.  At one point I was thinking of naming this blog “Precious Bodily Fluids”.  Too cryptic?  Not to worry: I’ll be changing the header pic every…

    Russian Army Dancing to Run DMC – It’s Like That

    ByAlfred Ayache Wed Jul 16, 2008

    Sitting in a bar with friends, a familiar tune comes on.  I’m trying to figure out what it is and where I know it from.  Then I remember: a video of the Russian Army, dancing, to Run DMC’s It’s Like That.  Loved it. Sharing it with you here to keep my hand in at placing…

    A Brief History of the Cows

    ByAlfred Ayache Mon Jul 14, 2008Mon Jul 14, 2008

    Shawn Chittle writes that he was there at the beginning of Tucows, when it was just one cow.  Before they had a barn, even.  I love these impromptu histories.  They remind me of my days as a young geek in my high school’s computer room.

    Ann Cavoukian: Rock Star

    ByAlfred Ayache Sun Jul 13, 2008Mon Jul 14, 2008

    Chad Hensler writes in his blog about Ontario’s Privacy Commissioner, Dr. Ann Cavoukian, encouraging Google to challenge a ruling forcing them to turn private user logs over to Viacom.  In Dr. Cavoukian’s words: …business should not, in my opinion, rely on the surveillance of consumers to protect their copyright interests. It is not acceptable to…
