Posted on September 3rd, 2008 at 12:00 by shea | 1 Comment »

The Browser Wars are heating up, and it’s not a two-horse race.  Sure Opera’s essentially been an also ran for years, but Apple’s Safari has been scarfing up market share with it’s insidious installation tactics and entrenched iPhone base.  Now our benevolent overlords at Google have launched Chrome, a new open-source browser with some innovative design.  Chrome promises to bring an end to crashing all of your browser tabs and windows for one misbehaving script or plugin and improved memory management.  Google has launched it all with a comic starring engineers, designers and developers introducing their intriguing new baby and explaining what sets it apart from the crowd.  Hit the jump for some initial reactions.

PC World has put together an excellent list of Tech Habits to Improve Your Life, including maintaining “Inbox Zero” and “Getting TV and Music from the Net”.  Some you probably already are doing, some you may not have thought of.  I’ve used most of these and continue to use quite a few.  Certainly worthy of a little time, perhaps time not wasted?

Hacking Remote Desktop into Crippled Vista Versions

Posted on March 26th, 2008 at 08:31 by shea | No Comments »

Vista isn’t perfect, there’s a lot it does wrong and not much it’s truly gotten right. One of the most annoying and confusing things Microsoft has done with Vista is release a multitude of variants. Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate all different variants with different “feature-sets” at scaling prices. Opt for a version other than the pricey “Ultimate” and you may find yourself lacking some key features, like Remote Desktop. Sure, there’s VNC, but it’s not quite the same and can be a bit confusing to get up and running reliably. Microsoft will gladly ransom the locked features back to you for a stiff upgrade fee or you could always do a little tweaking and unlock the functionality yourself. After a quick search, I located the following sites. Follow the instructions here and you should be up and running. If you happen to be running Vista 64, as I am, you’ll need to get the 64 bit version of the termsrv.dll, which I found here. Happy hacking!

Find Other Web Sites Hosted on a Web Server

 Here’s a handy tool for performing a Domain-IP-Domain search.  Just pop in a domain name and see what other Domain names reside at the same IP.  DWOT apparently lives in a pretty classy neighborhood, with such notables as CoderProfile which looks pretty badass and Sexpectantparents.com which may be the most insane domain name I’ve ever seen, and that’s really saying something.
