TECHNOLOGY: Feeds
Even as the subject of feeds explodes into a massive question of change, I just noticed that a feed other than Bloglines hasn’t updated itself since Sunday, the 11th–while on Bloglines I’ve noticed daily posts since. How trusting have we … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Feeds
A couple of weeks ago I started using that little symbol at the top of the IE7 bar to list a couple sites on a separate RSS feed system. It works–but not well. I’ve put my own site on as … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Daylight Savings Time
Let me be among the first to remind everyone that our beloved PC’s that could once be depended upon to wake up some Spring morning and know the time better than we ourselves did, need now to rely upon human … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY, WRITING & REALITY?: Gone
I’m sitting here contemplating the word "gone." Gone: absent, irrecoverable, used up, pregnant, dead, uneasy, infatuated, exhilarated. Concentrating on absent, irrecoverable, and dead, absent doesn’t quite fit entirely; absent can reverse into present, so that irrecoverable isn’t then a suitable … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY & REALITY?: Cold
Chopped my way into my barn/shop late yesterday afternoon. So I could sit in here and freeze today. But one thing it gives me opportunity to try (the silver lining?): Freezing a hard drive to recover lost information. I have … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY & REALITY: In The Crosshairs
I love craftsmanship of any kind. Meticulous attention to detail, precision, teeny-tiny bits seamlessly molded together, the smooth beauty of a hand-worked piece of Cherry or Brazilian Rosewood. My husband bought an old scope for $100–it would be worth $800 … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Hookups & Cables
Well, the scanner hooked up like a charm. No problems. Got it working and scanned a photo and sent it to (where else?) Photoshop. The Fax machine is another story. I can’t get beyond setting the station I.D. for some … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Windows Media Player
…and other DVD problems that I’ve spent the last three days working on are finally all fixed. It started, as I mentioned, with the DVD A Clockwork Orange getting messed up after an attempted presentation. What I didn’t realize was … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Piss-poor quality standards and Bill Gates
I’m really ticked off. When I get really ticked off, I get pretty quiet; hence, little posting as well. I’m still having problems with getting a brand new DVD player to work on the house computer (the laptop needed a … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Windows Media Player
Finally! I’ve finally been able to sort of fix a problem running DVD’s on the computer. Over two months ago, in the middle of a presentation on Clockwork Orange for our now defunct writers group, the movie DVD quit working. … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Continuing the Year-End Dusting
Been reading Kerouac, but in keeping with the new year change, I’ve been working on revamping Spinning. Since I don’t intend to be doing this at exactly midnight tonight, today may reflect the changes–good, bad and in-between–so don’t get nervous … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY & NEW MEDIA: Costs $$$
Okay so I gave in to the need (desire) for a camcorder but did some homework and found a slightly better one for about the same dollar amount. I figure I’ll be doing some playing around in new media after … Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Working Parts
Well I finally got the printer working because I was able to spend some time on uninstalling all the software from both computers and reinstalling from scratch. Even that wasn’t easy; it insisted that it needed a file called hpzm309.dll … Continue reading Continue reading
