ChromeOS – Revolution or Bust!
Everyone seems to be going a little over board with the newly announced Chrome OS. Don’t get me wrong, I love all new shiny things – I’m a shiny-new-thing-lover, but people are not only blowing this out of proportion, they’re not even talking about the right things. Let’s break it down shall we?

Feature Friday – Google Wave Preview – Rarst.net
I’ve been really apprehensive about posting my own review of Google Wave simply because I don’t see how the general public will be affected by it yet. Long term, I’m hoping Google Wave will become the method of choice for collaboration, but short term, it’s still too early to tell. Some people are gushing over [...]
Adding New Ram? Check the Numbers

However, picking the right ram is [...]
32bit vs 64bit
Inspired by a friend who isn’t as big of a computer geek as I am, I decided to do a post explaining the differences between 32bit and 64bit when it comes to operating systems.

This particular post is something that I feel [...]

My Apologies
My apologies in the delay in posting, I have been working rather hard on something and it is consuming a lot of time. I know todays post was almost 24h’s late, but I’m hoping tomorrow I will be able to get a few different ideas I’ve had written up.
Thanks for reading FHB!
Simple Website Instant Messenger – Client-side Functionality
This is part two of the Simple Website Instant Messenger (SWIM for short, I love it when acronyms just work themselves out) and will cover adding some client-side functionality to our system. For part 1, click here.
Client-side functionality essentially translates itself to “using JavaScript to do some funcy (eh? get it? Funcy? Functional?) things”. It [...]
Microsoft WebsiteSpark
While I initially decided that Fridays would be posts from my favourite blogs, this was something that I realized not a lot of people are aware of. If you’re looking to get into ASP.NET I recommend you check out this great offering from Microsoft. There are a few stipulations, but definitely worth it if you’re [...]
