google feed reader update

October 6, 2006 – 21:02

Google Reader (the Google online RSS reader) got a bigass update last week, and although I’m practically using it daily I didn’t really look into any of the new features it has until now. Once again they improved on an already good concept, so Bigup the Google kru! Boh! Keeping up with a ton of [...]

myspace insecurity

September 1, 2006 – 21:42

This recent myspace security leak doesn’t come as a surprise to me I have to say. The whole site feels like a hack when you’re using it. Like it’s just a bunch of stuff slapped together into a single app. It makes me think of one of those dreaded pieces of software that was slapped [...]

vista: don't ask users questions they can't answer

August 22, 2006 – 0:01

This older El Reg article about Windows Vista security nails something I’ve noticed a few times before and is definitely a problem which doesn’t have a quick and easy solution.

lagging logs

February 19, 2005 – 15:02

I was pretty pleased with the new Trillian 3.0 I upgraded to a while ago. It looks nice, and performed well… until recently. For some reason I noticed some sort of typing lag when chatting, which is extremely annoying, especially if you can type pretty fast like me. You tend to think some keys went [...]

trillian 3.0

December 24, 2004 – 14:32

Wheeeee, Trillian got a major update this week, and that’s pretty damn sweet. I’ve been using Trillian (Basic version) since I switched from ICQ and didn’t feel like installing 3 different IM clients on one machine, as I didn’t want to waste my precious computer resources. Currently I’m on ICQ, Yahoo, MSN and IRC daily [...]
