    Julie is happy to fly with toothpaste again , but I bet didn't she notice those movies at the bottom of the TSA article that she linked to.. " Male Business Traveler " " Female Business Traveler " Hilarious that women just have Read More...
    Of course it's not consistent
    I guess everyone else just makes different mistakes than me, huh? My contribution today to the Google Q&A machine is.. what to do about this exception.. Could not load type 'System.Web.Security.SqlProfileProvider' The answer is to stop being Read More...
    Bizarro World
    I just ran the app for the first time since yesterday morning and got a bunch of these events:: aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 4948) stopped unexpectedly. Failed to execute the request because the ASP.NET process identity does not have read permissions to the global Read More...
    Coming up next..
    I sometimes think of things to blog when I don't really have time to blog about them. Up to now I've been putting tasks into Outlook but since tasks aren't synchronized between my desktop and laptop that isn't very handy. Apparently my Read More...

    iTunes 7 - press the eyeball...
    I just got iTunes 7 this morning. Installed great and I loved the fact that my iPod showed up with a nice new control panel. It said the iPod needed an update too, so hello v1.2. But hang on. Looking closer I see that my iPod has 20gb free! Uh-oh.. All Read More...
    When is a door not a door?
    This week I came to a realisation that my long term project road-racing '37 Ford is dead. In 1993 when I sold my GT40 replica and started building the ultimate hot rod (one that could lap my local Goodwood race track faster than the GT40) all 1937 Read More...
    URL123 is a casualty
    URL123 is (or was) a service written by friend Francesco that made it really easy to shorten URL's. No, it's not a unique service but I've always used it and the toolbar button has allowed me easily share nasty URL's from MSDN or Amazon. Read More...
    MSN Messenger Alerter
    After Rob's recent VC post about how Telligent is self-funded, it's topical to bring up a post by fave VC Rick Segal . No, I've never taken money from the man, never even met him. But you get a very good sense of a person from a twice-daily Read More...
    Being an idiot isn't an excuse
    When I lived in my last home I visited a local art gallery, and being impressed by their paintings I added my name to their list so that I could be kept up-to-date with their little bijou gatherings. Ok, I have no idea why I did that. Now I live 60 miles Read More...
    Do not step outside the lines
    After recommending Dave looked at the Dell outlet to get a laptop I'm saddened to read about what happened next . I've almost fallen into the business/home chasm at Dell myself. It's a truly bizarre way to do business. When dealing with Dell, Read More...
