OK, so I'm not "Dave", but I'm not exactly all here...Now that my web hosting company has just totally screwed the pooch by killing my database every month or so... It's time to return to blogger... or typepad... or wordpress... or ... --- ...We'll see how this goes.

Well well well, would ya lookie here...My old nemesis Vista has managed to once again weasel it's way back to life on my PC, and all it took was it being 4am, me being deprived of sleep for 36 hours and having run out of shows on my PVR. Did you know that you can't do an upgrade install of Vista Home Premium over XP Pro? I found that out when reinstalling as I was instructed to do 9 months ago by

My Flock has just been updated to 1.0.1, and is currently updating to 1.0.3, and soon to be 1.0.4. I love getting new updates/upgrades. But why no roll-up updates, is beyond me?P.S. I'm talking to you too Blizzard... Updating an old install of WoW took over an hour... Sheesh! Blogged with Flock

I've had my iPod touch for 2 weeks now and am pretty much loving it, and I even love the keyboard... Which blows my mind. It's even better than my blackberry, but that's not really saying much, since I really hate my blackberry. I mean what kind of self respecting email device doesn't have a dedicated "." key??? Since I'm "technically" still at work I should get back to pretending to both work

I know that I'm tight up there in the running for the biggest OS geek in the world, when I got so excited by a simple free little program that does something that I've been complaining about wanting for years.Taskbar Shuffle made me giddy like a kid at Christmas when I heard about it, and I was grinning like an idiot when I installed it and it worked.

The spring dashboard update for the Xbox360 has come out, and it looks pretty good. I'm not going to go into too much detail because there are some VERY comprehensive outlines out there in the tubes. But, subjectively the update has sped up the interface, and the new blade for the marketplace is nice, but the thing that I have enjoyed the most is the Live Messenger integration into the current

I posted this to Digg earlier regarding the Democracy Player's developers' plea for donations to keep development going... but felt like posting it here too:"I've never had any major technical problems with the player... I guess I'm just lucky there. But it's the variety of channels, or rather the lack there of, and the fact that the feeds that they have in there are not nearly as up to date as

Over the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to play the PS3, as well as [finally] pick up an Xbox 360.First things first... The Playstation 3... Yeah... well... it's black, and big, and elusive, not to mention pricey. I've played Resistance: Fall of Man, Call of Duty 3, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and I wish I could say that they impressed me, but unfortunately I can't. Same goes for the

I'm a bit of an "Audiophile" [a.k.a. music snob]. I LOVE music, and I absolutely MUST have the best headphones available for listening to said music. Over the last year alone I've probably spent nearly $2000 on headphones trying to get the best experience possible from a couple of tiny speakers jammed against my head.A decent sized chunk of the 2G's that I blew, was on my beloved Shure e3c's. But

Update: First things first... It turns out that the TuneCenter cost me the full $129.99 USD ($148 CDN, plus the 14 bucks FedEx crap)... Not happy... Where the hell is the benefit to preordering something and having to wait 9 friggin' months to get it. Especially since I was so frustrated with waiting for it that, as I said before, I was in the process of figuring out how to cancel my order when

Upon first opening the box, I was impressed that everything seemed to be included and plug and play ready, and for the most part it was, especially since I opted to order the non-wifi enabled version, sticking to the straight forward (and slightly cheaper) wired connection. Having pre-ordered I got a break on the price, and in total (after price, shipping, taxes, brokerage fees) it worked out to

I just recieved my Griffin TuneCenter, that was announced way back when the first Intel Mac's were introduced. And let me say I REALLY hope that it's worth the wait.I was in the process of looking up how to cancel my order when lo and behold, I get a call from fedex telling me that I needed to provide a credit card for taxes, and brokerage fees.

Quite some time ago I did a review of the iRiver FM AFT-100, stating how much I liked this transmitter. Being the kind of person that I am, I wanted to know if it was the best one out there, plus the cord on my iRiver broke.Over the last couple of months I've tried several of the locally available FM transmitters, including the Griffin iTrip Auto, and 2 from Myron & Davis, as well as a new copy

The NSA is cool. Why? Cause, it's got balls!I know of no other agency that so blatantly steps beyond the boundaries of it's own mandate, (not to mention the U.S. constitution), and makes no apologies for it. They simply hold up a piece of paper and say... See, we got a note from our dad so it's ok. And the white house supported them by saying, as usual, that it all a part of "The War on Terror".

Over the last few weeks there has been a great deal of hype over the whole discovery that Mac owners can now run Windows XP on the new intel based Mac's. Last night one of my friends pointed me to a particular blog post that really exemplifies this @ applematters.com called "take-the-no-windows-booting-pledge"This has been something that I must say is something that I personally have been looking

Origami, the word floating around the tech, and news communities for the past few weeks has finally been revealed; and what a disappointing unveiling it has been indeed.The viral marketing campaign that MS had tossed out there, quite successfully I might add, was leaking out images, and video of a product that looked quite promising. Unfortunately for MS or any company that hypes it's products in

Over on livingwithwires.com we have been experiencing some technical difficulties as of late. Not entirely unexpected with a new site, but inconvenient to say the least.To try and alleviate some of the issues, I have mirrored the entire site on my .Mac account. Just click on the ".Mac mirror" link at the top of the page, or any of the episode headers on the main page to take you there.As always

And the next step online has been taken. I've finally decided that the much deliberated upon podcast will become a reality.Living with Wires is the project that my good friend Neil and I have been batting around for some time now, and we have taken the first steps towards making it a reality.

So let me first say that I'm happy to finally have my PowerBook back. Nearly a month, and a hard drive later, (once again - the RAM was fine), but it seems to finally be over.I must say that I am a little disappointed about the announcement of the new macbook pro during Jobs' keynote at macworld. Not just because I got my (already-serviced) 15" pb a little more than a month ago, but also because

I called Thursday for an update, and was told that I was right in believing that the HD was pooched in my PB, and that it booted, (and ran) just fine off of the firewire drive, and that they were doing a few more tests, just to ensure that everything else is just fine, then will be ordering the new HD from Apple.That was Thursday, and now it's the wee hours of Tuesday morning with nothing yet.

Yeah!!! Its acquisition time for me once again. The time of year when I spend butt-loads of money on friends and family. Hopefully, in order to offset my ridiculous personal spending karma.I decided that this year, after spending much to add some techie goodness to the lives of those around me, I would treat myself to a brand new shiny 15.2" Apple Powerbook, something that I have wanted since

I just heard about this new project based on Mozilla's Firefox browser called "Flock", while listening to an interview with one of the founders of Flock, on Amber MacArthur,and Leo Lapporte's new podcast "Inside the Net".I've been trying it out for about a week on both my Mac's, and my PC's. So far it looks pretty good, especially considering the fact that it is ony a developer preview. But the

First off. I love my 5G, but have come to discover some, more than slight, annoyances.Most complaints that I've been heard stem from scratches on the sleek little things. The scratching on my screen is not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact it's much better than expected, same as the shiny backside, and I've only been using the slip case that was included in the box; (Mainly because the few

I know that it's been more than a month since I last posted. But with the new job and all I've been more than a little preoccupied lately.But, in the last few weeks, I've made a few acquisitions, not the least of which is my new 30GB BLACK, iPod w/ video. It's about time that black has appeared in the main line of an apple product, (although the headphones are still the same white, and so are the

iPods you know what they are. If you don't, then you must have been living with the Yanomami in South America, and even then...I got the 20GB 4G color... Nice. I'm not going to say much since the iPod is now ingrained into our collective consciousness. It's white, shiny, sexy, and most importantly easily scratched.I use this as my co-primary player. The interface is the reason why it moved up to

On my way home from work tonight I was listening to the latest episode of TWiT (This Week in Tech) definitely amongst my favorite podcasts, when I heard the same questions being speculated on that I've been hearing a few hundred times in the last week...How can Google's free WiFi make money? And; How can they possibly know exactly where users are?These are quite simple questions, that really

First off, I'm sorry.I'm sorry for the long time off. I've been reviewing the new LG-535, two MP3 players from Creative, the MuVo TX FM, and the Zen Micro (5GB), and World of Warcraft. All of which take time to test out.This will be short, but within the next week there will be several reviews cropping up.Thanks for waiting.T.

Over the past week it’s been pretty much all about Battlefield 2 around here, and I’m loving it. An FPS that isn’t set in WWII… What a novel idea. For me, I have one big problem, and it really has nothing to do with the game itself. Although, it does crash every time I try to load it up on my laptop. That is the problem I have, (with HP that is). My notebook is not exactly ancient,

I will be calling again, and requesting to speak to a manager/supervisor, since I have not been able to get anywhere up until now, with the front-line staff.Here's hopin'T.UPDATE:I finally got my money that was promised put back on my account, and topped up just to be sure.

I was a cable internet installer at the time, and after about a week or so driving around with a coil map book,I realized that being the geek that I am, there must be a better way. And there was MS Streets and Trips.I tossed this new fangled map thingy on my trusty laptop. To my surprise, it

Yesterday I found myself on payday once again, and ready to "top-up" my Pay as you Go phone from TELUS Mobility. Seems pretty normal.I am more than happy with the cell phone that I use, (LG's 5450), nice camera, solid feel, good sound quality, all around good phone. I have been happy with the service that TM provides; that is until yesterday.I did the usual calling up the account management

I've had a lot of FM transmitters over the years; some that plug in, most using batteries, but none have been very good. So needless to say I've been reluctant to purchase a new one for my car, to go along with my newly mounted PDA, especially with the big-little external drive filled with MP3’s, and TV shows. (For when I’m stopped, of course) I took some time too look at a few of them, and

Today, by courier, I got my brand new USB host cable for my Toshiba e750.One word... SWEETMUTHEROFALLTHINGSHOLY!!!I love this thing. I was going to upgrade to the e833 a while back, but then I found out that I can overclock this aluminum bad-boy to a stable 708MHz, I can go even higher but it REALLY sucks back the juice.Last week I again got the urge to upgrade, sure the speed is great, but I

I'm normally an evening/night person, but these graveyard shift, plus all the things that I need to get done outside of work everyday, are really starting to get to me.I'm going to see if more work will keep me busy enough to stay awake. 'Cause the coffee isn't cutting it anymore.Any suggestions? PLEASE, feel free to provide them.

I've really started to play with Dashboard in Tiger. And this little entry is being written, and published with the Dash Blog widget.I like OSX. It's sexy. But I'm not finding this upgrade to be really that big a deal. i'm glad that we went in for the "FAMILY PACK" and it only costs us a measly $50CAD each, not too shabby for a leagally obtained OS upgrade. (Microsoft I hope you're listening)Some

I had written a decently long post here but Firefox decided to pooch on me, and the recover post "feature" didn't work. So, here's the short-ish version:Last night a co-worker was messing with my stuff. Specifically my new "Dead Like Me" (fantastic show) box set. I nicely asked him twice to put it down ... He didn't. I then told him to put the damn thing down, and he got all offended and pissy,

Welcome back,It's been a few days, and I'm still @ work, let the rejoicing begin. yeaaaahI'm glad to be here, but there's this huge sword hanging over this place, and we can all feel it's presence. I got to have a bit of fun tonight, someone is going around installing TROJANs (a.k.a. browser toolbars) and I got to do a bit of IT work... Just don't tell our IT guys, they haven't been able to

This past Monday I, along with everyone else in the company, found out that we will be facing certain "lockout" measures that will be taken by the company. And, subsequently found out, that our union may be telling us it's strike time, as soon as this coming Monday.I'm going to have to go in this weekend to get some things from my locker... Just in case.Here's hoping that I still have work this

My little brother and his fiancee just had a new baby last night, and it's a beautiful little girl.Unfortunately since I'm not a grandparent, I haven't been allowed into see the baby in person. I don't know when the hospitals started to do that, but it's pretty sad. First no waiting rooms, and now I can't even see my very first little neice. At least I get to see meet her this weekend.I'll be

Once again I'm at work on a Saturday (Fun), and the scheduling people have screwed up again (SUPER Fun), and have scheduled half of the people that we need for a weekend day (Eh, Whadda ya gonna do).Yeah!!!Those of you who know me know that I HATE working in the days, and not just because I get free parking at night. I live about an hours drive away from work, and have to leave about an hour and

Tonight at work I watched "Office Space", and am verry much saddened that the movie so closely mirrors my own work environment. The only thing is that the depressed workers at least get their own desks, and can bring in personal items to leave on said desks. But despite this it was still pretty spot on. escpecially when 'Peter' says "...Humans weren't meant to sit in cubicles and stare at

I've been reading/watching the news lately, and I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of the exploitation of Terri Schiavo by both sides that are only trying to further their own agendas, at her expense.I'm all for religion, and I am quite set in my beliefs, but after reading some of the comments, and threads on some of the so called "faith-based" sites out there, I have to

After much time waiting for this occasion it has finally arrived.- The Mini that people are truly excited about... (not the car)I got this thing @ about 11AM today, and even though I should have been asleep until about 2, I decided that I could once again forego rest, in the name of my never-ending quest for technology. Plus it was just like Christmas as a kid. You know it's down there, but

It's called Attack of the Show.It is the replacement to one of my all time favorite shows on TV, The Screen Savers. This after a good long run, and many changes over the years, is now being put out to pasture. The name and the set are supposed to be the only things really to be changed, but I'll believe it when I see it.I hope that the network keeps its word on this, and keeps the same format,

Yet another Saturday night @ the office.Normally I get paid to sit on my butt all night, counting the holes in the celing tiles... again. But tonight, I actually have to work.As my little blurb in the header of my blog states, I'm a phone monkey. Which means that I answer the phone, in as pleasant a manner possible, and try to help them get their problem resolved. Despite the fact that I have

I like to think that I don't just buy DVD's just for the sake of owning them but as I look at my many shelves of the m I realize that I have some that I still haven't watched them months after I bought them. Now many of them are because they are movies that I have seen before and got them just because I loved the movies the first time around. But still I need to make the time to watch them.Oh

Once again there is nothing to do but to suck it up and go to work; Sick or not.Luckily only 6 hours tonight, instead of eight.Oh well, at least I have my PVR recording everything while I'm gone.
