Bikes For Sale (0 Comments) ()
Friday August 04th 2006, 8:26 pm in Work

I’ve started yet another web site. This one’s for people wanting to buy & sell Bicycles. It’s centered in the Portland area right now, but if I get enough activity, I may consider re-vamping it for other areas too. Check out Bikes For Sale at BikeAds.org

It took me forever to find the link to do it, but here it is:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DeleteService?service=hist

This link will produce an error if you don’t already have Google personalized search enabled. But if you do, and are logged in to your google account, it should let you remove it. Worked for me, but ymmv.

UPDATE: I tried, but I’ve given up. Only cause I found something that would be way better than what I would ever put together with my limited hacking ability and huge lack of time. Check out http://crazedlist.org


My Neck Hurts (0 Comments) ()
Tuesday July 25th 2006, 9:53 pm in Life

It has been quite some time (before the Berlin trip) that I’ve used my computer laying down in bed, and I almost forgot how bad my neck used to hurt from doing this. It really sucks. I think I need to come up with a better way to do it, but I get so tired of sitting at a desk or table all the time, especially late at night.

Any ideas?

Yay! My Belize Real Estate web site is now listed on DMOZ.org - and in only about 2 weeks. That HAS to be some kind of record. Last time it took me about 2 months to get a site listed on DMOZ.

It’s here:
Open Directory - Regional: Central America: Belize: Business and Economy: Real Estate

Whenever we (theoretically, of course) find an unencrypted WiFi network around one of our projects, Greg has taken to calling it FreeFi. And, he sent me this interesting link about someone getting busted for using it, although, it sounds like it’s in the other extreme, above leeching onto a neighbor’s.

Pandora On the Desktop (0 Comments) ()
Sunday June 18th 2006, 9:08 am in Random

Lately I’ve been listening to Pandora quite a bit, and I really like it. One thing that bugged me, was that I had to have a separate window open for it, where things like Musicmatch, Winamp, iTunes, etc would minimize to the system tray so it’s just an icon not taking up any toolbar space.

Today, I found something (free!) that solves that issue. It’s simple and unglorified, which is the best thing about it. Download it from here: Metcasoft

There are 2 versions. Classic and 1.5. Either works just as well. One little gotcha though - how does one actually minimize it? Well, you have to righ click the icon in the tray and then select either “hide” or “show” player. It took me a bit to figure that out, because many “hide-to-tray” programs automatically do so when you minimize or click to close.

Thanks, Brian @ Metcasoft for making this!
