Radical Hive

Yep, Utah. Park City Utah to be precise, home of the 2002 Winter Games (well anything that took place on a mountain anyway). It's about half an hour outside of Salt Lake City, and is a place of wireless internet connections, natural beauty, and tons of talk on Analytics during the Omniture 2006 [...]

The other day Charlene asked me to explain RSS to her. RSS is an XML format which contains titles, blurbs, times, dates, and full text from a website. The RSS feed is usually published whenever a new posting goes up on a website. RSS feed aggregators then download these RSS files and [...]

TSN.ca has been online for 10 years today. I remember where I was on this day back in 1995, in a Seneca College computer lab registering for the site for the first time. I logged in, looked around, and promptly got frustrated enough to not take another look at the site for about [...]

Yes, there's a brand new TSN.ca in town. This morning at 9:00am ET, TSN.ca relaunched with a brand new face. While not a full “relaunch” per-se, it was a reload of the new home page, and a little bit of a change on the back end. Gone are nested tables within tables [...]

A few months ago I got a new HP iPAQ 3115. I really like it, although it doesn't really like my Samsung Access Point (but then again, nothing other than the Samsung Wireless Card really likes that particular Access Point). This week in Cannes, Microsoft has announced the latest version of Pocket PC.

If you bid on something. Be prepared to pay for it.
When the auction ends, respond to the seller as soon as possible (eBay sends you an invoice, why not just pay right then?).
If you have a problem paying, tell the seller that there’s [...]

Dear “Online Poker”;
Thank you for visiting Chronicology.com. I really enjoy the e-mails you send me once a week, but you may as well stop. I have never once gone to any of your sites, and I’m not interested in any of the products that you email me. Further, by sending your HTML [...]

Attention internerds, be careful what you say on your weblog. Recent Google hire Mark Jen was recently fired for comments he made about Google on his weblog. A Delta Airlines employee was fired for posting a picture of herself in uniform (that one’s strange to me…why did Delta care?). Of course there’s [...]

Wired’s got an article up on FireFox and how it’s re-opened the browser wars called “The Firefox Explosion“. I will tell anyone who asks why I love Firefox. Built in pop-up protection, tabbed browsing, extensions that allow me to do things like save my sessions, disable CSS, change a CSS on a page, [...]
