Sorry about my silence over the weekend, but Saturday morning I downloaded two podcasts, enjoyed listening to them, and then Saturday evening found out that I had run into my 3GB surfing wall. I suppose that on the plus side it took me 6 more days to reach the wall in August than it did […] August 30th, 2010 | Tags: apple, Meta/Computing, money | Category: Diary | 3 comments - (Comments are closed) No doubt some of you have noticed that I’ve expanded my online presence in the last week to include two new websites: Tumblr and Facebook. Of the two, I expect Tumblr to be far more interesting and useful. Although I have not yet used it extensively, Tumblr, for me, is a place to stick things […] August 26th, 2010 | Tags: blogging, friends, meta, Meta/Computing | Category: Meta/Computing | 13 comments - (Comments are closed) It turns out that I’m in mighty fine company—GoOverseas.com has decided that I am one of Germany’s top ten blogs, presumably all written by expats. Of the remaining 9 in the top ten, I already know six: the AmiExpat, Planet Germany, This non-American Life, No Apathy Allowed, Snooker in Berlin, and 50% of my DNA. […] August 13th, 2010 | Tags: blogging, meta, Meta/Computing | Category: Meta/Computing | 10 comments - (Comments are closed) So I wrote awhile back about my internet solution for my temporary home and how fantastic it is. Well, I ran into a problem: it has a 3GB per month limit and I hit the limit last week. I’d been careful for the most part, but there’s a slight problem with iTunes: when I connect […] July 29th, 2010 | Tags: communication, Internet, Meta/Computing | Category: Diary | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) This will probably not make sense to a lot of you—but here’s the deal: why does anybody use LaTeX? [rant /on] In my line of work I tend to work with two types of documents the vast majority of the time: Microsoft Word (.doc & .docx), and LaTeX. I will be the first to admit […] June 8th, 2010 | Tags: complaints, Meta/Computing, work | Category: Diary, Little Things | 5 comments - (Comments are closed) Becoming an Apple addict has not been a direct and easy path for me. My history with Apple products is rough—after Middle School and its Apple computer lab, I didn’t voluntarily touch an Apple product until 2005 or 2006—when I bought myself an iPod. I really liked my iPod—and the iTunes interface for my music […] March 14th, 2010 | Tags: apple, iPhone, MacBook, Meta/Computing | Category: Meta/Computing | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) My apologies for not posting this week. I have plenty of material in my head but my MacBook is sick. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that it’s fan was loud. Initially I thought I’d wait until I was some place with an Apple Store to get it checked out. I’d even made tentative […] January 6th, 2010 | Tags: apple, MacBook, Meta/Computing | Category: Meta/Computing | 13 comments - (Comments are closed) I’ve kind of sworn off blogging when I’m too busy or too tired to put something coherent together, but this is an exception because I might be awake and coherent tonight, but I’m not sure my Internet will be. If you’ve been paying attention to my Twitter, I’ve been having problems with the phone company—and […] November 3rd, 2009 | Tags: meta, Meta/Computing, moving, telephone, Twitter | Category: Diary, Meta/Computing | One comment - (Comments are closed) So I’ve sort of hinted at it now and then, and after a great deal of work, usually involving cut-and-pasting, I’ve created the archives section of this website and fixed up a number of things with the main site. The new TQE | Archives section of the site includes stuff that used to be available […] September 21st, 2009 | Tags: blogging, meta, Meta/Computing, MovableType, Twitter, WordPress | Category: Meta/Computing | 4 comments - (Comments are closed) I realize most of you are probably happy that I haven’t had a “meta” blog entry in awhile. Alas, it’s time for another one because I’ve done a few things today that might otherwise escape your attention: Sound Choices: I’ve posted a listing of all the podcasts and vidcasts that I am currently subscribed to […] January 24th, 2009 | Tags: meta, Meta/Computing, Podcasts, WordPress | Category: Meta/Computing | 5 comments - (Comments are closed) |
