Wall Outlets

It is fine to have the electrical outlet at one’s house or work under the desk, yet I think that all of us who move notebook computers around would agree that having one on the desk surface or on the wall above the desk makes it easier to connect and disconnect when necessary.

Ridiculousness

This is the first of what I have unambiguously called “Ridiculous Things.” It will be a blathering (As opposed to blistering…) attack on all things ridiculous that one finds in the course of living one’s life. An entry could range from the prosaic (It’s ridiculous that the plastic bags in cereal boxes are so damn [...]

Uggg! (Uff da…)

And now, for a good reason I need a back-up module… [...]

Posting Tools (Zempt, w.bloggar)

A big Uff Da! to WordPress. What’s the issue with not including xmlrpc.php in the distribution? Looking back through forums I see that this has been a problem since v1.2 came out this last summer? Uff Da! And the comments I see from the WordPress developers run along the lines that with the 5-minute installation [...]
