Just testing out Open Live Writer from the Windows Store. Seems like a nice App and a very nice way to post Blog posts to my wordpress blog, even this self hosted one. And it is a free app at that, very nice! Even posted a picture straight to my blog.
All I can say is wow, I had a M6400 for about 6.5 years and it worked great, Intel Core 2 Duo with 16GB ram and a 600GB SSD and a 1TB HD it was a decent little beast, but when work says we are getting you a new laptop, who am I to complain. […]
Ok, Windows 10 came out the 29th of July, and of course I had reserved it to get the free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and thought I could wait for my download until god knows whenever MS would get to it, but I have never been one to be patient. My laptop […]
I have been running Windows 10 Tech Preview for quite a while now on my Dell Venue 8 Pro and I still love it and use it daily. Granted, I do not do many wildly demanding tasks but I do use it to listen to Pandora and to read ebooks and some other simple stuff […]
I just wanted to pass along some information I just figured out accidentally. We utilize SQL Server at my work to house a rather large amount of data over about 4 SQL Servers, 3 were Virtual and 1 was an actual physical server. This weekend we moved the physical server to a virtual one and […]
I have been around IT for quite a while now, I owned my first Internet connected PC in 1994 or so, although I did own a Commodore 128 that connected to BBSes before that. I remember connecting to those at 300 baud and trying to locate a 1200 baud modem. I even had a 3.5″ […]
I have been developing for a very long time, I started writing code in Visual Basic 5 before .Net was a thing. I knew one language basically VB, I had learned Basic about 10 years before in High School and thought how great it was to start writing programs for Windows. It was awesome, I […]
I have been using a Dell Venue 8 Pro for almost 4 months now and really love it. It runs Windows 8.1 which has made the tablet very usable. The only real complaint I have is that the battery, since Windows uses an “always on” sleep mode to keep the tiles up to date, is […]
Well, in an effort to cut the traffic coming to my house and to lower utilization of my cpu on my server I am trying to host this blog on wordpress.com at http://hometownnerd.wordpress.com . Not sure yet how I like it since there are no plugins here and cannot extend it much because of that […]
I never realized how much someone that I did not know could have an impact on my life. My love for computers started way back in 1982 or so and it was because of Steve Jobs’ Apple II that caused it. I had no idea who he was at the time, I just knew I […]
