My thoughts on mobile operating systems...

Sick and tired of Windows Mobile on my Mogul. It's slow. It's designed for a stylus, not my thumb. On the plus side, I like the fact I can write applications for the phone in a very advanced development environment (e.g. Visual Studio 2008), do microsoftie stuff, etc. I haven't used an iPhone...

Calling Vista by a new name might be appropriate...

Microsoft released a website recently posting reaction videos of people they had asked to preview a new version of Windows called Mojave. Only this was simply Windows Vista they were actually previewing. The point being to show that people had misconceptions about the operating system. The problem I...

Windows Mobile 6.1 - Grade C-

It seems like Microsoft is only partially getting the hint these days. Perhaps they've lost their fight to be the best in every market; innovators in every respect. Maybe I'm just overly jaded by their mistakes. Vista, Mobile 6, and TagSpace to name a few. Now 6.1 was shown to be a BIG improvement...

Windows 2008 Released, I don't care...

Seriously, I really don't. Probably the first time since Windows NT 3.51 Since I've said that. Sad really, but the only thing I would even consider caring about is IIS 7.0, and I'm so fed up with writing web applications, I don't even care about it either. I guess you could say I'm...

$8,000-per-gallon printer ink leads to antitrust lawsuit

I find it ridiculous that these companies can get away with the insane prices for computer ink. If they didn't bother with all the electronics B.S. they put into a cartridge we wouldn't have to pay so much for one. My all-in-one Lexmark printer will not report ink usage correctly. I have cartridges...

Having Fun with Google Maps API

I've been having fun at work here using the Google Maps API. Tasked to build a website for the TSA, I had to come up with coordinates for most major U.S. airports, map them accordingly, and color code the icons depending on their status. Sounds like a semi-easy task, but it was a little bit of a...

My work is blocking access to my website!

So I was just testing out some software this morning and decided to enter in my URL like so: http://www.robkennedy.com/ with the beginning www. notation.
