http://www.greftek.net/blog GrefTek's Blog Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:53:49 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I stumbled upon this cache of old one panel comics. Some of them are hilarious. http://fminus.net/oldfminus1.htm http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/09/08/no-words/ Everything is relative. I often gripe about things that greatly annoy me and every so often comes along that puts things into perspective. This weekend would be a textbook example. http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/09/08/a-relative-good-weekend/ http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/09/05/just-something-funny/ The Daily Dilbert Wordpress plug-in has been downloaded 1.000 times at the Wordpress plug-ins directory. Granted, just over a thousand downloads is not a lot (and I didn't do that much on it) but it is sort of a milestone. I'll have a beer tonight and toast you all who are ... http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/09/05/dilbert-plug-in-reaches-1000-download-mark/ It has been about 24 hours Chrome was launched and already there is quite a buzz around the new beta of Google. Several experts have scrutinized the first release of the browser and there is a lot of enthusiasm... and also critique. http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/09/05/chrome-intense-scutiny/ To be honest I thought the stage was set. Safari to Windows platform, Firefox 3.0 released, IE 8 to come. A whole 'new' cycle of browser wars to see who comes on top. Little did I suspect a 'late comer' to the next round in browser slug wars. But here it ... http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/09/03/google-chrome/ You know the feeling like the world is trying to screw you over? I just had one of those moments today. What happened is, that apparently my mobile phone subscription is in limbo. It all started with an unexpected invoice. http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/08/25/operator-hell/ I arrived late at work today and had a perfectly valid reason. As I left home for work I saw no major issues on the road. As soon as I hit the freeway however I found myself stuck in a traffic jam for half an hour. This is the reason ... http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/06/27/got-at-work-late-today/ Once in a great while a TV show comes on my path that will utterly hook me. This time it is Ghost Hunters, a TV series from the Sci-Fi channel. This program views the paranormal pretty much the way I look at it; down to earth. http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/06/27/ghost-hunters/ This must be definitely the most curious thing I have seen in the sense of advertisement; a promotion video for Windows 386. Aside from the fact that the 80's is a decade best forgotten, I wonder how well this promotion was received by contemporary human beings. http://www.greftek.net/blog/2008/06/20/weirdest-advertisement-ever-period/
