Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Conversation between a father and a son
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Son: I thought selling Rolex meant giving your firstborn away. Please tell them Gabe is your firstborn, in that case.
Father: No, Rolex has enough challenges in this economy. They don’t want either of you.
How I learned to love Biblical contradictions
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I have a post up over at Threat Quality today, which is a fine blog maintained by my friend Chris Braak and his friend Jeff Holland. They love it when other people contribute to Threat Quality, by the way, and they are good-looking and easy to work with, except for Chris, who is just good-looking.
Browsers opening links in new windows
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Here’s a question: When you’re looking at a web page and click a link that takes you to another site, do you prefer it opens in a new window or tab, or in the same window and tab you’re already in?
If “It depends” gets a lot of responses, I’ll post a new poll.
MacBook, spinning beach ball won’t stop, can’t force-quit
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009In case anyone else out there on the Internet runs into this problem:
My 13-inch white MacBook (running OS X, 10.5, Leopard) started working goofy, and then just not working at all, a few weeks ago, after running smoothly since I’d gotten it in January. I’d get the spinning beach ball abruptly, and not only would it lock me out of whatever application I was in, but all my other apps would lock up in short order (I could access them, but as soon as I’d click something, down they’d go), and I couldn’t even force-quit—the old Option-Apple-Esc routine—out of them. Sometimes the hangup or lag lasted for just 20 to 30 seconds, but more and more often it was indefinite and I’d just have to manually shut down and restart. At which point the problem would recur after a few minutes. (more…)
