Sour Apple: More 10.5.3 woes
I discovered yesterday afternoon that my iCal appears to be broken. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and explore the problem yet, but when I click on the iCal icon in the dock, it bounces up and down, appears to try to open, and then shuts itself down again. Rebooting did not fix it. I’d heard reports of the new update borking people’s wireless Time Machine backups, and even totally crashing their machine, but I haven’t heard of …

My Calendar Solutions: Windows Mobile
My Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone is practically attached to my hand. I was lucky enough to win the i-mate JAQ3 in a contest over at Gear Diary last year, and ever since then the JAQ3 has been my go-to mobile device. It has some clear shortcomings, most obvious being poorer call quality than I’m used to, and although I do plan on replacing it later this summer when my tax stimulus check comes through, I have gotten totally spoiled …

Weak Apple Sauce: My experience with 10.5.3
I was pretty excited to hear that the new OS X upgrade, 10.5.3, would allow Address Book to sync with Google Contacts. Since I’ve been syncing everything else through GMail and GCal, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get my contacts all straightened out. I spent a LOT of time last night updating my address book. I printed my contacts from GMail and updated Address Book accordingly, then I totally deleted my Google Contacts in anticipation of …

My Calendar Solutions: Ubuntu and the eeePC
One of my daily tech drivers is my 4G Asus eeePC 701. I use it for quite a bit of my web surfing, chatting, email checking, web research and writing. It’s perfect to curl up with in my favorite living room chair or carry along with me to a coffee shop. I also carry with with me when I go to business meetings, because it is so much easier to tote along than a huge laptop. Plus, the sassy pink …

Compiz Fusion on the eeePC
Ever since installing Ubuntu on my 4G eeePC 701, I’ve been incredibly impressed by the operating system. It’s my first time running a Linux system full-time, and I find more to love about it every day. One of the most impressive things in Ubuntu is Compiz Fusion, which adds some incredible graphic effects to the user environment, including a rotating cube and other window/desktop switchers on crack. Sadly, I’ve been unable to run it on the eeePC because turning on …

Introduction: searching for the perfect digital calendar solution
I always aspire to lead an organized life. Whether I actually am or not at any given point in time is really another story. (I am lucky enough to have a photographic memory and be able to put my hands on things that I need in my office or my apartment pretty easily!) I can be pretty anal retentive about digital things like the way my Google Reader feeds are organized in their folders, the things on my Firefox toolbar, …
