Every once in a while I run into customers running 64bit servers. This is far from a daily occurrence, but the frequency is increasing. And so, here's a question for you: Are you running 64bit servers yet? Do you plan to in the near future? If so, why, and what OS? And if not, why not?
Eric Lai of Computerworld for his story entitled "More Oracle users plumping for Linux". (I was unable to find the original story on Computerworld, but it has been echoed on Techworld.com and elsewhere). The story is about Oracle users wanting to consolidate servers and move to Linux. It also...
My laptop is still out for repair, and Adobe IT sent me a temporary one so that I could at least connect to VPN and get some work done. Rather than configure Outlook on this temporary machine, I'm just using Outlook Web Access (the Exchange web interface). But here's the ironic part of all this,...
My primary laptop is dead. Well, not actually dead, but useless at this point. I had installed laptop encryption software, and everything seemed to be fine, but then it started blue-screening on startup. Hey, I guess that's one way to secure laptop contents! The Adobe IT folks are looking at it for...

I was discussing HTML tag usage with someone yesterday, and we were speculating about tag usage (which tags are the most used, which attributes, and so on). So how to move from speculation to actual data? Google analyzed over a billion pages in December 2005, and posted the results on their Web...
This one is intriguing, Feed Rinse allows you to define your RSS feeds, define filters, and then access a single filtered RSS feed. The tag line proclaims it "like a spam filter for your RSS subscriptions", and while the inspiration seems to have been profanity filtering, this seems like a useful...
It's no secret that I am not a fan of Motorola phones, but the upcoming Q does look promising, it's a smart phone powered by Windows mobile with a Palm/Blackberry type form factor. Phone Scoop has a Flash video of the device . Notice the Verizon logo, meaning it is not a GSM device yet. But...
Google is now supporting RSS feeds for Google Video. This is an alpha feed, and you can browse most popular (using http://video.google.com/videofeed?type=popular&num=25&output=rss) and search (using http://video.google.com/videofeed?type=search&q=searchtext&num=25&output=rss)....
I've been hosting a ColdFusion ISP list for many years now. The application was given a Flex overhaul a while back, but that aside it is the same core list and code that has been online since the late 90s. There is a lot of data in the list, none of which I create. Rather, hosting companies can...
