Was walking 23rd today, Music Millennium is going out of business at the end of the month, so I decided to stop by. Tons of music, all discounted. I picked up a goofy cover cd - Butchering the Beatles - metal covers of The Beatles. Anyone who is in PDX should check out MM before the [...]

The other day, I was tasked with moving all objects from one SQL Server Reporting Services instance to another. I know you can move the database itself, but then you run into issues with encryption keys etc. I just wanted to move the objects. I know that pretty much everything in SSRS is extensible, so [...]

Your last name is “Gay”
I asked a buddy of mine, Joe Gay (yes that is his name), “why aren’t you on Facebook yet”, and his response was, “They won’t let me sign up, they won’t allow my last name”
What gives? That is his name, they should allow it. He shouldn’t have to email customer support [...]

Well, after I posted yesterday, I got a comment from EVDOInfo.com about how the v640 wasn’t Rev-A, doh!
So today I walked down to the Verizon store and exchanged it. Yea the v740 cost a little more, but worth it. Yesterday I was getting between 300-700k (700 at most!). Here are the speeds on the v740:

This weekend I decided to check out EV-DO card options. I found a card from Verizon for 9.99 online at their site, so I couldn’t go wrong. I am using it right now, which is pretty sweet. The whole city of Portland is covered by their Broadband Access, so that is good.
Now I don’t have [...]

The iPhone. Ok, I finally got to play with one - thanks Mickey. It is pretty cool, but still. Windows Mobile can do everything plus more than the iPhone can, so why aren’t the fanboi’s wetting themselves over Windows Mobile devices? Why aren’t companies like SmugMug, 37Signals, Digg, etc making specific versions just for Windows Mobile? Windows [...]

Stumbled across TVU Networks last night, http://www.tvunetworks.com/
Its P2P streaming TV, pretty cool actually, but eats up the bandwidth. It has some good channels. CBS (from San Pablo, CA), ABC News, SCI-FI, and others. Just another trick in the bag for people who have “cut the cord”.
Technorati tags: TVU Networks, P2P TV, IPTV, ABC News, CBS, [...]

Yesterday I got an invite to Pownce (http://pownce.com/ScaleOvenStove/). Pownce is the next thing from Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg. It is an application that works on the web and desktop. You can send messages, links, files to your friends and to public. It is kind of like twitter but with more options, and there [...]

Since cutting cable, I have tried many different online TV programs. Democracy TV (soon to be Miro), TVTonic, Amazon Unbox, ITunes Video Store, Joost, etc. I finally got a beta invite to VeohTV the other day, and installed it Friday night. Since I am sunburned like crazy, I am holed up in my apartment anyway’s, so why not [...]

Flickr. Great online app, but uploading pictures through their website is pain at best. Other online sites have better uploading tools built right into their websites (MySpace, Facebook, etc). There is also the ability to tag your photos when you upload, but from what I have seen from all my friends photos, they aren’t tagging [...]
