  1. I Use It To Learn on Will Twitter Join Podcasting on the 'Net Sidelines'? · · Score: 1

    When i first started w/ twitter i would try to keep up all day long, but then i remembered that i have a job and stuff... so, now i read it for a bit in the AM and then again in the PM and respond to things I find interesting. I contribute content too so my followers can get a feel for who i am, what i'm interested in, etc...

    Feel free to follow me on twitter - my name is tjtrapp.

    BTW - its not just implemented via SMS, you can use any number of 3rd party apps to get and send content as well as have it sent to ure mobile via google talk.

    Cheers.

    I noticed a major improvement in site load times upon using the MVPS file.

    Cheers.

  4. Re:Holy biased! on Industry Fallout from GTA IV Delay · · Score: 1

    talk about flaimbait, why dont u RTFM again:

    The difficulties aren't limited to working on Microsoft's box, as Houser explains that "both have enormous challenges" and that "both have their own particular pleasures and pains".

  5. Re:Slow News day? on Point-and-Click Gmail Hacking Shown at Black Hat · · Score: 1

    Yes, you missed the fact that after signing in via the SSL enabled login page, you're back into a non-secured area. GMail does allow you to manually add an 's' in the address bar but by that time you've already sent at least some unencrypted data. After searching thru GMail's help, it seems as if they allow mail to be fetched via an SSL connection https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answ er=21291&query=ssl&topic=&type=f&ctx=search but there is no option to enable it for the regular web interface... what am i missing?

  6. Heck Yes on US Senators Question Indian Firms Over H-1Bs · · Score: 1

    I worked at a big entertainment company who brought in plane loads of Indian workers for training. They sat in classrooms to learn how to support the systems that we developed. After 6 weeks of training, they were sent back to the homeland and a new batch were brough in; this continued until all workers were trained.

    Then, after the training, the company would rotate these folks into roles like DBA, Software Dev'er and level 1 help desk support.

    So yes, it is quite real. But the better question is what type of software gets built from a practice like this one?

  7. You're not crazy... on Who Plays the 'Blame the Tech' Game? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It seems to be an epidemic. In other words, I've experienced the same thing (repeatedly). Does it stem from too many bugs in our code or something else? I have no idea. All I know is that pushing the "send to voicemail" button on my tele makes the problem go away until my boss sends me a ticket to investigate. Darn, we get it on both ends.

    Cheers.

  8. impossible on Your House Is About To Be Photographed · · Score: 1

    I dont see how each and every home will be photographed since some communities are closed to the public. What is the point if the data is not complete?
