Using ReCAPTCHA
Filed in General, Technology on August 27, 2007 at 12:57 amMost of you probably know that I’m not a big fan of CAPTCHAs. In fact, earlier this month, you could have quoted me saying, “I hate CAPTCHAs. They unnecessarily inconvenience commentators by adding yet-another step to the commenting process and are sometimes difficult for even humans to decipher.” But, I have come to [...]
Time for a Vacation
Filed in General on August 5, 2007 at 12:38 amUpdate: We’re back, and the CAPTCHA has been disabled as promised. The photos are now available.
My family and I will be leaving for an exciting cruise to Hawaii on Monday. In order to preserve the sanctity of this vacation, I have temporarily activated a CAPTCHA to block most, if not all, of the [...]
My Mom Has an iPhone
Filed in General, Review, Technology on July 7, 2007 at 12:03 amUpdate: Photo now included!
I recently wrote about the iPhone not long before its release on June 29th. Well, what I haven’t said yet is that, not long after its release, my Mom left an Apple Store with an 8GB iPhone. I know, I completely missed the “buzz wave” with this report, but it’s [...]
My New MacBook Pro
Filed in General, Technology on July 5, 2007 at 11:35 pmI’m finally done setting up my new MacBook Pro. I decided a long time ago to replace my previous workstation, consisting of one 20″ iMac G5 and a 15″ PowerBook G4, with one ultra-portable MacBook Pro and a Cinema Display. I must say that having only one computer makes for a far more [...]
Where have I been?
Filed in General on June 29, 2007 at 1:24 amJust a few days ago, Brian reminded me that I had finally graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Music (emphasis on Education) over two weeks ago, and that I don’t blog about such things anymore.
He’s right. I’ve been so busy with school and other such things lately that I’ve stopped using [...]
To Twitter, or not to Twitter
Filed in General, Technology on June 22, 2007 at 10:27 amI just received an email from Angsuman asking me to join Twitter. I have been thinking about starting a Twitter account for quite some time, but I always wind up back at the same question. “Why do I want a Twitter account?” I have read almost every blog post and review that [...]
Happy Father’s Day!
Filed in General on June 17, 2007 at 5:59 pmI’d like to take a brief moment to wish a happy Father’s Day to my father, Bill Huff. Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
Library Update: June 2007
Filed in General, Nostalgia on June 14, 2007 at 11:47 amIt’s time for yet another Library update. This catalogue of my library is technically complete, but I’m always purchasing new books, movies, and music. The library is now less than half of its original size and should load much quicker thanks to the new compression routines introduced in the current beta release of [...]
