Where’s Dave?

By the time this post is live, I’ll be en route to my ship (above). As with my last vacation (Copenhagen), I’m leaving the laptop behind – travel tech is limited to my iPhone, Shure earbuds, and old Panasonic Lumix digital cam. Onboard WiFi runs $55 for 150 minutes, so I’ll periodically check in online … Read more

Where’s Dave?

It’s going to be quiet around here the next few days… Not only is it March Madness (Go Retrievers?), tomorrow’s the move. And I haven’t even finished packing, plus it’ll take me awhile to dig out. However, once I do my home work environment should be much improved. Examples: I intend to upgrade my “walking … Read more

Blogging the Obvious

Yep, ZNF finally gets a redesign. WordPress is a great open source blogging platform for managing content, but customizing the look and feel requires a decent amount of effort plus a bit of skill. I tried to offload some of this about two years ago – long story, short: I was out a few hundred … Read more

Where’s Dave?

I’m here. Really. Had a busy week in the office and my MacBook Pro -> MacBook Pro migration took far too long and felt a bit Windows-esque… including an OS reinstall. While the fanboys may want to blame this one on me, I had some serious high-powered former Apple employee assistance and it’s not user … Read more
