Seriously trivial thoughts
BlendingTheMix.com put together a list of “the most bookmarked web-based Twitter applications of the moment…[based on] the number of saved bookmarks on delicious…” OK, so Twitku.com is 100th on the list, STILL, it…is…on…the…list =) I was wondering why visits spiked a little today…
I often come across websites that I want to read later, but they don’t truly warrant adding formal bookmark. I used to use a special Temp folder for these, but it tended to grow and grow, and was a pain to maintain. Well, I chanced upon this cool Firefox extension called Read It Later (RIT). …
Between Firefox and Orb, I’m always monitoring and worrying about maxing out the 2GBs in my main system. I’m T I R E D of it and just ordered two 1GB sticks of RAM from Newegg.com for a whopping $11.99 each! Dang, RAM is cheap. I remember paying $1,200 for 32MB back in the day…yes …
I’m totally into doing things wirelessly if possible and I’ve been using the Plantronics Voyager 855 stereo Bluetooth headset with my N95. Since my 2nd gen Touch has no BT support, I started looking at the various add-ons. Well, I stumbled upon the D650 Motorola Bluetooth Adapter on Amazon for a paltry $13.99! I saw …

As we mentioned last April, we are in the process of porting Jaiku over to Google App Engine. After the migration is complete, we will release the new open source Jaiku …
I’ve always had a severe memory leak issue with Firefox. FF will slowly grab more and more memory often hitting 1/2 GB with only 3-4 tabs open. I use a ton of extensions and I read a couple sites where they listed off a bunch that were known to contribute to memory leaks. For whatever …
I like opening Gmail and Google Reader in Google Chrome (GC) because it seems to manage memory much nicer. Leaving those sites open in Firefox often results in hundreds of megabytes of RAM used. The problem is I’d like to open GC links in Firefox. I’ve got too many FF extensions that make life so …
I always liked Fred, particularly his role in Die Hard 2. He made me wish I lived in Tennessee when we was elected Senator there. Here’s a video by him on the economy and our current and future government’s “strategy”. It would be SO much funnier if it weren’t true.
