Ok – for the past week we’ve been having TERRIBLE speed issues within the Canton CT area – especially on upload. I pay for the business speed ($188 a month for just digital tv and cable) — and over Vonage I’ve been getting a terrible delay. Skype is the same way. Right now I’m attempting […]
Hmm – this looks interesting: advanced data vis components for Flex – Diagram, Timeline, Gauges and Maps with spark-like renderers (mxml). IBM ILOG Elixir 3.0 beta | RIAgora.
I’ve not posted on a number of interesting tech developments of late (Adobe vs Apple) and what that means for third party iPhone / iPad compilers (appcelerator’s Titanium, Elips from openplug, Unity3d) — but I’ve been extremely busy working on a few websites utilizing WordPress and writing some custom widgets and plugins utilizing the fantastic […]

Well, the newly fixed Macbook, after spending a week getting it nearly back to the same state, realizing I’ve lost a lot of music I was working on (some of it was *really* good), and getting a weeks worth of work done, has decided to freak out with the video display…
With my head down in the specifics of technology so much, I tend to forget about what all of this we use relies so much on.. power. I can debug and test, patch and peruse to my heart’s content, but if there’s no electricity there’s not much hope of anything happening… like a castle built […]
I know that Dreamhost (my host provider) has supported Passenger for Rails apps running on Apache, but I’ve only gotten a taste of it lately, as I was setting up my development machine as a LAMP stack with Rails and now Passenger (including the MacOSX Passenger pane).
