This weekend I decided to try some RSS readers (web only). Currently I use Newsgator Online, so I wanted to see if there was something else out there. I exported my OPML (300 feeds) and looked for some new readers. Tried Bloglines, Google Reader and NetVines. Out of the three, Google Reader seemed the best [...]

I installed Office 2007 Beta 2 - seems like some things are not there, but expected for a beta. The new categorizations are cool, but the search folder for them doesnt work. Also, RSS Feeds folder is cool, but my opml from newsgator online wont import, dont know why either. Dug through the help, but [...]

I had 130$ in gift cards at Best Buy, and it was burning a hold in my pocket. So today I decided to spend it. I purchased this Fast Track USB Recording device (100$), which has the ability to take 1/4 inch input, XLR Input, and then output to RCA or 1/8th inch, or just [...]

i am moving to a new apt tomorrow, so things have been kind of hectic lately. Cancelled my internet and phone, and right now i am “borrowing” a clearwire modem for the weekend, so limited connectivity. I have been using IE7 Beta1 for the latter part of this week and I think it is good, [...]

In the last 2 days, I have been asked to test the new MSN Messenger 7.5 and the new Mail Beta (Next version of Hotmail). What a cool oppourtunity. I am running the new Messenger, but I am still waiting for my Hotmail to transfer to the new layout, hopefully within the week.

Ok, so I get an email from NewsGator, saying I can upgrade to 2.5 from 2.0 for free, so I go for it, install it, and now it doesn’t work. They say it is because I have .NET Beta 2 installed (I have the 1.1 and 1.0 installed also). They say no fix until the [...]

Well, last week I redid my PC, and instead of installing RSSBandit, I decided to plunk down the $$ for NewsGator, so I can read my feeds in Outlook. So far so good, seems to work pretty good, and I like the fact I can sync up with the web. Im up to 108 feeds [...]

I installed Skype tonight. I have known about Skype since it first came out, but decided to hold off on the install until I was sure it was solid, or had a use for it. If you dont kow what Skype is, it lets you make free internet calls to other skype users, or you [...]

Cool little app that sits in the systray, and allows you to set Timezone’s up so you can click and see times anywhere, and allows you to easily switch between timezones on your pc. Since I am in Detroit for the next few days (Eastern Time), I installed it and use it. Pretty cool.
