There was a bit of confusion among myself and my peers today, on how to take screenshots and prep them for print. The printer required 300dpi images, and screenshots are, usually, 72dpi.

I’ve been on a quest for the perfect off-site backup service. I’ve considered everything using my own servers and rsync, tried various free/cheap services like Carbonite and AT&T Remote Vault, and finally came across Jungle Disk. Jungle Disk uses Amazon S3 for storage, and Amazon EC2 for their Plus service. This review is of the [...]

Also, since I had started that site, I’ve started to focus on open-source projects, [...]

Every once in awhile, I have to send out DMCA notices to people who have blatantly stolen our copyrighted materials. Generally, I skip emailing the offender directly (they usually are well aware of what they’ve done), and email the notice to their hosting provider, or the hosting provider’s bandwidth provider.
Today, I got a response from [...]

Yes, I’ve converted my blog over from BlogCFC to Wordpress. It was an easy enough process thanks to James Netherton’s migration code.
I also re-organized my posts and categories, slimming down the number of categories I have, and moving most of the metadata over to tags. Hopefully this will help keep things manageable.
Anyone have a good idea of [...]

Anyone else having this problem?

I got a nice little troll comment from “bob” a bit ago. “bob” is under the impression that because I’m picked up by a particular aggregator, that I should never post about anything other than that aggregator’s subject.
Just to clarify to “bob” and anyone else, this is my personal blog, with a tech focus. Technology [...]
