I was taking a class this week for A+ OS certification. We got to a section on setting up an e-mail account with outlook. A few people in the class said they never did that, so the instructor has us do a quick walkthrough on it. We used actual pop3 …

The digital generation brought up Googling, Wikipediaing, and Twittering their way through their lives is starting to have problems when it turns out they don’t see why they can’t do the same thing when they’re in a courtroom, according to the [URL="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/18/us/18juries.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1"]New York Times[/URL]. In a recent case, it was …

Well geez... where has time gone? I promised some better blogging than this on the game, and I apologize for not delivering... so, here's an update: We've been working more on it lately than in the past seven months. This is mostly due to the fact that, well, I got …

A lot of stuff has been happening on the Pirates game, so it's high time I shared a little with you all. First of all, the first server build is done. That's right, we've got a bit of communication. Unfortunately, right now, it's a one-way conversation. The server is ready …

So it's been a while. In case you weren't already aware, MMORPG software systems are complicated. Very, very complicated. I mean, you're creating a whole world as a software system! So it's taking a while. We have made progress, however. My brother and I recently created a networked system to …

Google looks like the next thing it's going to do is take over the world. Or at least, Microsoft. I'm sure you've all heard the rumors about Google creating an operating system, but is it really happening? I just found this [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nono/369373656/"]screenshot[/URL] of a supposedly-leaked upcoming version of GooOS. Kind …

There can be no doubting that the Nintendo Wii, despite the still extremely silly name even after living with it for a couple of months, has been something of a gaming revolution. Not because of the power of the console, Nintendo has no gone down the Hi-Def, triple core, HD-DVD, …

If you've ever had the (un)fortunate experience of having to work closely with a lawyer, you know that their profession seems to have it's own language. In fact, there are actually courses in law school that teach future attourneys to speak this strange mish-mash of English, French, Latin, and Greek. …

They say it is a ‘man thing’ this fantasy about swapping their wife or partner for someone new. Unfunny jokes about trading up to a newer model abound, some even indulge in a swinging lifestyle. But now it seems that some 13% of men in the UK, according to new …

Just recently, the development group that I work with decided to adopt Linux as our standard operating system for the server-side of our project. Linux is a great choice of server OS for many obvious, and not-so-obvious, reasons. It's extremely flexible, stable, and secure, and works on just about any …

As with most early-to-mid twenty-somethings out there, I grew up on a healthy portion of video games. When I was about 6 or 7, my family invested in our first Nintendo, which changed our lives forever. Fortunately for us, it didn't shift our lives in the direction of endless bags …

We all know that Obama has made it clear that he is going to make restrictions on outsourcing businesses. If implemented then that means trouble for many countries that relies on outsource businesses like call centers and other businesses. Do you think it’s a sound decision made by him?
