Geek Out!: August 2008
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Friday, August 29, 2008. The difference between Doze and Nix Users. Company is gone, kid is back in school and I am faced with a dilemma: Ubunti, Solaris or Fedora? It was great box in the heyday of machines, now about all one can say is it still runs. And it does. So I decided to give it a new lease on life by reformatting it with a *nix, except which one? Microsoft are you listening? People look forward to new products from those others because they work&#...

Geek Out!: Microsoft NOT in Gang of Four
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2011/06/microsoft-not-in-gang-of-four-software.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Monday, June 6, 2011. Microsoft NOT in Gang of Four. Usually I quote Jon Radoff. Well at least the odd numbered ones did. It looked like a MacIntosh! It was a RAM hog- it needed 512 KB, great for people who did not do much crunching, but for the numbers and data types it was stupid. Suddenly though Novell needed 1 MG ram to run. So MUCH! Then we went to Gamma. I was testing the course copy against what we had and suddenly everything was different! Except - e...

Geek Out!: September 2008
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Monday, September 29, 2008. Bots and annoyances - How to fight back. We have all had them, bots or even live people who we do not know that decide to contact us while we are online on an IM. IM is a wonderful thing, too bad these bots are about to ruin it. Lately I have begun fighting back. But merely reporting a username based on a "hi are u there? Here is the anatomy of bot IM. If they get a response even an auto one they respond with something Like Hi how...

Geek Out!: If only we all could
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2012/08/if-only-we-all-could.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Sunday, August 26, 2012. If only we all could. Daily Green Ideas is a decent site for those who are looking for simple ways to cut back. The other day they posted this. Overlord is a blast. I loved it. Overlord II came out and guess what? So what to do. Well I plan for the fun of it to build my own. I have never built a gaming machine before, or modded a case even. But what about those who are not so adventurous or even 'gasp' dislike the idea? I thought may...

Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Monday, May 23, 2011. Ok for those of you who are not coders, do not do CSS or HTML or care for the software reviews - talk among yourselves. For the rest of us. As most of you know I am a great supporter of small useful utilities. This one is not so small is extremely useful and while it is not free it is well worth the price. Boxer Text Editor. I opted for the disks to be sent to me. It arrived quickly and well protected - good job! Making a simple "find t...

Geek Out!: CSS, W3, and accessabilty
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2011/05/css-w3-and-accessabilty.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Friday, May 20, 2011. CSS, W3, and accessabilty. I have been working on redesigning a web site. It needs to be brought up to more modern standards. It needs to be accessible and most of all it needs to impart the information that it is meant to in a way the users can find it. This should not be difficult. EXCEPT it is.

Geek Out!: March 2009
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Saturday, March 7, 2009. Earthlink: End of an Era? If you are in a technology industry and people are using an alternate tech to contact you for support, it is probably because it is not working! She asks me what the problem is. I tell her I cannot connect and it was working maybe 6 hours previous. Did she know of any server outages in my area? No luck so she has me clear cache. (Not needed since I stated I do not use that to connect so the cache cannot ...

Geek Out!: Sony, hackers and identity security
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2011/05/sony-hackers-and-identity-security.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Thursday, May 19, 2011. Sony, hackers and identity security. And a solution for it here. Now please look at this one by me. So please, anyone and everyone who reads my blatherings. Start telling these companies they do not need that information. Email their tech support and customer service telling them you do not feel secure giving it. Even if they are secure and you are ask them how they protect against man in the middle attacks? What type of encryption?

Geek Out!: Wordpress
http://zetasgeekout.blogspot.com/2011/05/wordpress.html
Ramblings, meanderings, rants and discoveries. Saturday, May 21, 2011. Today I made a blog over at WordPress. I had to to walk someone through adding tags and categories to a blog for crawlers to find. Let me just say this about that I am not impressed. I click on it and start reading expecting the usual no .js no scripts agreement stuff to ensure I am not trapping readers. Here is what it basically says :. Ok maybe this is not so bad oh wait. There is a bunch of what they encourage and a bunch of what t...
