Techy/Geeky Link Dump
April 9th, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
- Want to discretely show the world you’re ready to play a WiFi game on your nintendo DS? Buy some buttons!
- Mac Eject Key: The latest update of the OS software now means you have to hold down on the eject key to pop a disc in or out. Logistically, I understand this. But it was frustrating until I looked it up on-line and found out about it.
- Microsoft is dead. Further explanation for the clue-impaired.
- From the previous link: “Microsoft’s biggest weakness is that they still don’t realize how much they suck.” Microsoft? Or Sanjaya Malakar?
- My Linux Fund credit card is dead. Not that it matters — I haven’t used it in a long time. My Amazon.com credit card gets me stuff.
- GAIM has been renamed to Pidgin, because AOL is a big meany.
- Web site on a white board. Author sells her book with a long series of big graphics. Silly, but fun.
- O’Reilly is opening an on-line school, where you can take $400 classes covering web programming, Linux, and more. The price ain’t bad. The CGI Programming With Perl class is temping.

Thanks Aug… I thought my CD-drive was going or something was slowing my system…

No problemo. I was surprised that none of the Mac sites made this a major headline. It sounds so stupidly simple, but it really is a major change for anyone who burns CDs in their computer, or rips them, or installs software from them, or — heck, it’s a big deal.
