Dan (of Puritan City fame) has released a new web based RSS feed reader that’s got some pretty slick features, and he’s looking for a few good beta testers to take advantage of it and give it a fair wack of testing.
It’s currently feature rich and you can reach out and touch it at BVine.com.

Microsoft’s at it again.  This time Redmond is busy writing laws for Oklahoma that give it the ability to literally log in and do what they’d like to with your system.  All they need to do is include a clause in their license agreement that allows them to snoop through your computer at will.
Oklahoma’s lawmakers […]

JMke over at Madshrimps shot me a quick note that the X1800GTO from ATI has a hack available to turn it into a X1800XL like card by freeing up an extra 8 pipelines or so. Normally I’d cover stuff like that over at PCBurn but unfortunately they don’t have a bloody Linux driver for […]

Manray. Still apparently not coming back. The once icon of the Boston synthpop/Industrial music scene still hasn’t announced a re-opening. Although even without being open, they’re holding the B&D Ball somewhere I’ve never heard of, Cyclorama.
Thinking on it, that sounds suspicously like a bicycle shop. I wouldn’t be terribly surprised.
They do […]

I don’t know if I gave him a plug before now, but Something Positive’s R.K. Milholland’s humor always hits the mark.  It’s not always sanitary, polite, clean, etc. but it *is* always well drawn and somewhat Boston based.
It’s like a web comic for the disenfranchised. You know you want to read it.
I’d enjoy being alone […]

Looks like Microsoft has secured another registrar to park domains on Windows Server because it (er…) provides the stability and scalability required.  No one parks domains like Microsoft, apparently.
In a way these registrars changing to Windows makes perfect sense.  These sites in particular have no real “value” and there is no BSD or Linux interest […]

So I’ve ditched the live blogging idea (because the laptops wireless proved to be pretty unusable under Ubuntu 5.04) and am going with a more journalized approach.
Dell’s CTO proved to be a fairly good speaker. Even if they don’t have a huge R&D section he apparently comes up with some interesting things to do with […]

BostonWorlds wrapping up for the first day. The second keynote by the Athena Health CTO Bob Gatewood was a bit of a letdown. Not that there was much to be said for it.. basically they use Linux to some extent and that’s about it. There’s not really much of a contribution back aside from that […]

Only not as much as I had hoped.  Still, I’ll get the laptop working at some point for some live coverage of.. er.. something.  Otherwise we’ll have to stick to the classic post-happenings write-ups so popular in the pulpier media (a point of heated debate in their own right over the past few days).
So I’ll […]

Always on the lookout for new technology to use in software reviews I came across vncrec. What this software does is create a capture file of your VNC session for later playback. Coincidentally, this can be used to create motion screen captures of whatever it is you’re working on.
While it’s not going to help out […]
