QotD: Goodbyes

Question: What's the toughest goodbye you've ever had to make? My Answer: Something tells me that the one later today may win, but until that happens, I'm going to have to go with saying goodbye to France and the people I met there in 1996. Time hasn't really done much to fade the feelings I […]

QotD: AirPort Express

Question: Are you going to buy an AirPort Express? My Answer: You bet your behind, baby! I am, however, dreading the inevitable "pulling out of the receiver" that will be necessary to connect it to my speaker system in the living room. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in […]

QotD: Class

Question: What was your favorite class (college, HS, whatever)? My Answer: I may have to go with physics or French in high school (though organic chem was great too). In college, I enjoyed far fewer - mostly because other students rubbed out my enthusiasm. I enjoyed all of my CS classes most - funny, given […]

QotD: Kids

Question: What's the best thing about little kids? My Answer: I think the fact that you can act like a big kid around them is the best thing. Of course, there are several others, such as the rate at which they soak up information (it's fun to show people things they've never seen before, regardless […]

QotD: Jacuzzi

Question: Do you have a jacuzzi? Or ready access to one? My Answer: No and no. Does my apartment complex have a jacuzzi? I don't think so. No, just a pool. Hrm… my roommate and I once contemplated putting a jacuzzi in our dorm room. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day […]

QotD: VersionTracker

Question: Do you have a VersionTracker account? My Answer: Yes. However, they've just asked me to renew and I don't believe I will be. What does it offer? I never visit MacFixIt anymore, so a bundle promotion won't lure me into their Web again either. As a developer, I haven't seen any benefits, and I […]

QotD: Father’s Day Gift

Question: What's the best Father's Day present you've given or received? My Answer: My dad is unusually difficult to buy for because, like myself, if he wants something he gets it for himself. We have been able to surprise him with a big steak dinner, or ammunition, or something like that, but those times are […]

QotD: Golf

Question: Do you play golf? My Answer: Yep. Was quite good for awhile (and at the real-life version, not the video game version), and haven't played anywhere near regularly since moving to Florida, perhaps the golf capital of the US. Hrmph. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the […]

QotD: Miracle

Question: Did you watch the 1980 Olympics USA vs. USSR hockey game? My Answer: I was not yet two at the time. If I could find a copy of it somewhere, I would watch it today, though. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

QotD: Sleep

Question: How do you sleep? My Answer: I used to be a tosser/turner. My Tempurpedic has helped that quite a bit. Now I lay primarily on my side/stomach. I usually put the pillows at 90 degrees and wrap my arms around one of 'em. Occasionally I substitute a woman for the pillow. Occasionally. 😉 You […]

QotD: Sopranos

Question: What do you think of the Sopranos so far this year? My Answer: I thought the hour-long dream sequence two weeks ago was a filler - something I'm not sure I see much need for in a 13-episdode season. It took a few episodes to get into the swing of things, but last week's […]

QotD: Hockey

Question: Do you care about hockey? Are you watching the Stanley Cup finals? My Answer: Yes, yes. Game two was one of the best I've seen, and game three was a great contest. The NHL often has the best playoffs of any of the major sports, yet gets the least respect by far. You are […]

GUID Grief, Charlie Brown!

A blogger who may identify himself in the comments if he wishes wrote to me concerning behavior he'd observed in PulpFiction. This gentleman is going to be adding a "summary" feed alongside his "full article" feed and was concerned with PulpFiction's handling of these two feeds. He subscribed to his (currently secret) summary feed and […]

QotD: Response Time

Question: When you email for tech support from a software company (such as FSS, MacRabbit, etc.), how long do you expect to wait for a reply (auto-replies do not count)? My Answer: I expect to wait about 8 hours, but I do not begin to get upset for at least 48. I recently wrote an […]

QotD: Partitions

Question: Are your disks partitioned? Why? My Answer: Mine are not. Since moving to Mac OS X, I've seen absolutely no need to do so, and as a Mac Genius, I never advised people to do so either. It's easier, for example, to simply use an external disk as a scratch disk for video editing. […]
