Internet maven at 18, CompSci with an Econ minor in between. Love of music on the side and a healthy dose of Texas pride.
Sure, it takes my Cr-48 a little longer to load things than I'd like, but its battery life (7+ hours) and noise profile (zero-ish) scares me
Microsoft's old Remote Desktop application is still available in Windows 8. Win+R -> mstsc. Oh, and Win+R works for the Run box, too.
Thing I like most so far about this setup: 14% battery and 51 minutes remaining, on a platform that isn't ARM.
Windows 8 is running perfectly on my Cr-48. I feel like Success Kid, except with a later bedtime.
Now that I have experience installing Windows 8 into a VirtualBox VM, I have some tips to save you time/frustration: http://yann.tumblr.com/post...
First post from Windows 8. To say that the OS feels like half a tablet OS plus half a desktop OS would be...surprisingly accurate.
Reason for new Facebook photo viewer: another place to put ads. Oh, and it looks like the G+ one, except more wimpy. Nice job, guys...
Fact: Siteground breaks HTTP authentication on PHP.
RT @harrymccracken: Maybe Kodak exiting the camera business is smart & forward-looking, not an act of desperation. http://technologizer.com/2012...
Also, T-Mobile is specifying (very low IMO) off-net data allotments now. But hey, on-net data is cheap and fast... http://support.t-mobile.com/docs...
In other news, I decided to start building a PHP pico-framework. Was surprising how little code it took for REST URLs: http://yann.tumblr.com/post...
Ever wondered what destinations @united serves out of Denver? Look here: http://yann.tumblr.com/post... 125 total (vs. Southwest's 55, Frontier's 67).
No more digital cameras from Kodak... http://www.reuters.com/article...
BTJunkie just shut down. Now where am I going to get OTA-quality reruns of the Superbowl?
New Tumblr post about getting arbitrary text file types to show up as plain-text previews for Quick Look: http://yann.tumblr.com/post...
RT @mollywood: I gotta say, between the elephant shooting, the pro-SOPA crap, and the dedication to sleazy naked-chick ads, @godaddy is Yuck of the Year.
RT @Jason: The Avengers Commercial was by far the best movie commercial so far.... I'm soooo excited for it. 9/10.
RT @drance: "Password must be at least 6 characters" [enters 20 character password] "Password must be 6-14 characters" [Trollface]
So...I just decided to count up all the flights that I took in 2011. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself... http://yann.tumblr.com/post...
RT @9NEWS: There are now roughly 400 flight cancellations at DIA. Call your airline before heading out. #cowx
Useful software of the day: Zindus. Google Contacts <--> Thunderbird = Winning. http://www.zindus.com/
RT @kbierce: “Java is to Javascript like ham is to hamster” – not much to do with each other - from a @GA class on programming for non-coders
Symfony: Instantiate me like one of your French servers.
Is it just me, or does Ubuntu's HUD concept seem like a powerful tool for power users, but not so hot for people new to a given SW package?
Have a Toshiba Satellite L745D-S4350 (or maybe any computer with an AMD E450 inside)? Useful info coming here in a sec: http://yann.tumblr.com
