October 28th, 2009Deadlocks in Internet Explorer
October 25th, 2009I have been encountering deadlocks in Internet Explorer according to the Windows 7 Resource Monitor. More than likely, this is related to some sort of extension that I added recently that is not written correctly. Anyhow, I will be receiving Windows 7 Ultimate soon and will be reinstalling so it probably isn’t worth diving too much into debugging what is going on. The Analyze Wait Chain functionality is nice though for determining why a program is not responding.
A third and hopefully last test
October 25th, 2009This is a test using a different plugin that updates social network statuses through Ping.fm. This plugin seems like a keeper for now.
Second Test
October 25th, 2009This is a second test of a Facebook notifier plugin. I decided I did not like this plugin.
Testing Status Updates
October 25th, 2009I installed a plugin to push status updates to Twitter and Facebook and so forth. This is a test to see if it is configured correctly. I decided I did not like this plugin.
South Harmon Institute of Technology
October 24th, 2009I just watched the movie Accepted. The premise is that several students are rejected from traditional colleges. They proceed to form South Harmon Institute of Technology, what some might think of as a fake college. Its authenticity is challenged, and the students founding the school go before the board of eduction to make their case for accreditation. This reminds me of my own thoughts on education.
Technology Dreams
October 24th, 2009Every now and then when I see a poor practice of programmers, I think about the possibility of a world where such mistakes do not happen. I think about what I can do to make that future a possibility.
Long Trips to and from Work
October 22nd, 2009For a while, there will be long trips to and from work for me. This is all due to a propane tanker that exploded along the route to my work.
