Google-a-holic

November 15, 2006 By Robert Owen

I think I'm becoming a "Google-a-holic"... If there is such a thing. I recently had to upgrade my QuickBooks software and low and behold it installs the Google Desktop. I was going to uninstall it... hate to have lots of things running.. but thought I'd give it a look see first.. This thing is pretty KOOOL!! I've got it running as a side bar on my second monitor currently and... did I say it's KOOOL?!?! It is monitoring my rss feeds for me.. Tells me when new mail comes … [Read more...]

Go VOTE

November 7, 2006 By Robert Owen

Well, It's that time again... The time for everyone to perform their civic duty and VOTE. Whatever your Political affiliation, get out there and let your voice be heard!

Screen Capture – the easy way

October 25, 2006 By Robert Owen

I've been asked several times lately to recommend a good screen capture program. There are some great capture programs out there... But, most of those asking only needed the most basic of the functions. And luckily Windows already has the function built in. That mysterious print screen button on your keyboard can now be of some use to you.. … [Read more...]

Not Coldfusion….

October 10, 2006 By Robert Owen

I'm trying my best to keep things relevant... Well, maybe I'm not. Anyway, as you can tell.. or maybe you can't I don't know, this is yet another Non-Coldfusion, non-Techincal, non-helpful Post.. Hey this blog is "Random" isn't it?!? Well, I've decided to try and improve my picture taking skills. When building websites, you always find yourself in need of some picture or image you don't have. I've never been a good photographer and... well.. these images aren't necessarily good. But The bug … [Read more...]

Life in the 1500’s

October 2, 2006 By Robert Owen

Submitted by: James This is fairly interesting... don't know how true but, interesting: Most people got married in June, because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. … [Read more...]
