I’ve always been a bit of a stats monkey when it comes to… well pretty much everything.  I like to know how many there are, how long it takes, how much it costs.  I want the numbers.  But more than that, I want accurate numbers and often times in the past trying to get accurate [...]

Google has been offering a tabbed interface to the customized content of your Google homepage for some time, but as Miss604 cites in her blog, that feature has been seemingly a bit sporadic… To be honest I’d sort of forgotten all about it.
However, after reading her blog last night and giving some thought to the [...]

Just had to quickly drop this in here… I did a search this afternoon looking for an RDP (remote desktop) client for the new MacBook. When I put my search terms into Google, it not only searched for RDP, but extrapolated that out to “Remote Desktop” and “Remote Desktop Protocol” (both of which I’d [...]
