March 13, 2010 I purchased a Samsung SGH-I607 cell phone aka BlackJack for $112 CDN, and it does have some quirks. With the default Windows Mobile 5 installation, ringtones of any size can be added and used easily.  Unfortunately, Windows Mobile 6 is supposedly better. Therefore, I installed Windows Mobile 6 from http://www.samsung.com/us/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP01&prd_ia_cd=&prd_mdl_cd=&prd_mdl_name=SGH-I607.  Furthermore, I downloaded and installed

There is no mention of I Want to Go Home in this book. 1 Tantrum ____________________ 1 As much as I love Feiffer’s drawing, The Great Comic Book Heroes , and Little Murders , there has always seemed to be an emptiness in his writing, or maybe not an emptiness but a pointlessness, the same pointlessness found in Philip Roth or William Gaddis. Feiffer’s self-anointed position is that of truthteller, the man who excoriates hypocrisy and reveals the unconscious anxieties of society

I have sort of an unwritten rule to avoid talking too much about beginnings of books, because I think people focus on them as an excuse for short attention spans. I’ll easily sacrifice the first sentence or the first chapter of a book in exchange for a solid structure and a real thematic coherence, but the trend today seems to be to favor the details over the whole, and what details are more likely to be appreciated than beginnings

February, 25, 2010 My notebook’s battery is down to 25% capacity.  Therefore, I decided to purchase a replacement.  Looking at the notebooks manufacturer’s website, the price of a replacement notebook battery makes purchasing a brand new notebook instead more attractive.  Therefore, I decided to look at third-party vendors.

She was no more disturbed by other people as such, than the marble statue is by the flies that crawl on it; however, as possible harbingers of undesirable events and wielders of unfavorable influence in her own life, she accorded other people supreme importance. She would say: “Other people rule my life,” and it was true.

Looking over the notebooks from Dell, I realize that only one has the ability to remove the video card easily.  The Alienware models 15 inch and up are the only ones with a manual that shows how to replace the video card. Hopefully, this will change in the future, but currently, it seems that if one

I wanted to purchase a Netbook but realized that not all are created equal.  For example, the one shown below from OCZ allows for easy installation or removal of a harddrive and/or RAM.  A complete list of OCZ DIY netbooks can be seen at http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/diy_notebooks/ Dell, on the other hand, requires one to pretty much

March 2, 2010 I have received my oversize 500 thread count White Down comforter and solid 205 thread count duvet cover set.  Since this is my first purchase from http://www.overstock.com, I do not know what to expect.  Furthermore, never owning a down comforter, I do not know what to expect of the comforter either.  Nevertheless, the

We have been here before, albeit in different forms. Almost without exception, Coetzee’s work from Elizabeth Costello on has been concerned with the role of authors and authorship, not only of fiction but of memoirs and essays. He has repeatedly presented fictional characters giving speeches, opinions, or recollections that have repeatedly been confused as the opinions of the real Coetzee.

Connecting to a SQLite3 database and entering one record works fine, but that is where it ends.  Trying to enter two or more records does nothing.  using $db = new SQLite3(‘/database.data’); allows me to only insert one record.  Using $db = new PDO(“sqlite:/database.data”); allows me to insert more than one record.  Therefore, if one is

Paul Raymont reacted to Michael Hofmann’s incredibly nasty attack on Stefan Zweig by resolving to read more Zweig. I don’t particularly want to defend Zweig, but going after his suicide note was really a bit much: Zweig left a suicide note which, like most of what he wrote, is so smooth and mannerly and somehow machined – actually more like an Oscar acceptance speech than a suicide note – that one feels the irritable rise of boredom halfway through it, and the sense that he doesn’t mean it, his heart isn’t in it (not even in his suicide).

I have started developing a Calendar using PHP5.  This calendar requires PHP5 due from the fact that it is object oriented.  The database will be a flat file database.  Future implementations will have MySQL and/or SQLite support. Since the Calendar function is not installed by default in non-Windows distributions, I created one.

Building a program using PHP, I am seeing some of the limitations that it has.  Being used to Java programming, I am used to creating class constructors, get and set methods, and the famous method (function) overloading.  Unfortunately, PHP5 does not allow method (function) overloading. For example, the code shown below will not work in PHP.

Installing both PHP5 and Apache 2.2.14 on Windows 7 is pretty straightforward.  Connecting to them from another computer is a challenge.  I tried to connect to my server using both the IP address with the default port and port 8080, but they did not work.  Therefore, I had to search for a solution. PHP5 version 5.3.1

Seeing many tower cases, I noticed a pattern.  They are all either square or rectangles.  They are not very appealing.  Therefore, I wanted to find a tower case that is different. I have to admit, this tower case by Thermaltake is very impressive and sexy.  Unfortunately, being over $800 Cdn retail, many people cannot afford this

Everywhere we look there is advertising.  There is advertising on billboards.  There is advertising at bus stops, and there is even advertising on vehicles. I remember a picture in a newspaper.  It said, “The price of fuel is too high.”  Below that was a picture of a ferry with advertising all over it.  Below the ferry

Using Windows 7, I wanted a printer that can be used by all computers connected to the network.  Therefore, I tried to make the printer shared. Using the tutorial from http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/share-files-and-printers-between-windows-7-and-xp/,  I set everything up.  Unfortunately, the printer did not show under Windows 7 as being shared.  Therefore, I decided to try changing the printer’s share

When I go online to look at reviews for products, I look at what it is capable of doing.  I noticed that some products have biased reviews.  This is not a good thing. We often look at reviews to determine if a product is worth buying.  Trusting the person writing the review.

I looked around at the different web browsers available and came across an interesting topic.  Microsoft Visual Studio Express is available for free.  Although it is a stripped down version of the popular Visual Studio editions, it can still make exe files.  Therefore,  it is useful for people who would like to create their own

Absolutely the best moment of the dustup when Renata Adler nitpicked Pauline Kael to death (or at least to boredom). February 5, 1981 To the Editors: I am writing to protest in the strongest possible terms your decision to publish Renata Adler’s depressing, vengeful, ceaseless tirade against that brilliant critic Pauline Kael. Adler’s criticism in The New Yorker was mediocre, mushy.
