  • Get rid of U3 on your USB stick

    I have a few SanDisk Cruzer USB sticks. One thing that annoys me is the U3 app. I appreciate what they're trying to do ... OK ... wait ...maybe I don't. No, really, I just want it off my stick. Go to SanDisk's site and get their U3 Launchpad Removal Tool. Happy removal! End of line. Read More...
  • Of Dates and Blog Posts

    It’s funny how human beings relate to dates. For example, every 365 days or so (give or take a leap year), many of us on this planet feel a sense of renewal with the coming of a new year. I tend to be this way. It provides a way of tracking one's life. With today being 7/7/7, I couldn’t help but see this as a good “date” to start blogging again. In fact, not only am I going to start blogging more here (really, I mean it :-) ), but I’ve started two new blogs (nothing like going for the trifecta)! The first blog is over at Pluralsight . Last year, I joined up with the boys to teach VSTS and now I’m going to blog about it (primarily) over there. The second blog is about trying something different. Go take a look if you’re interested in my journey with a new piece of hardware and its software . More to come at all three locations. For now, I’m just happy to get writing again. Talk to you soon. End of line. Read More...
  • Run Windows Programs on your Intel Mac--seemlessly?

    I've have quite a few friends who have been smitten by the Mac bug (especially Intel Macs). In addition, others are considering moving that way (I won't "out" them just yet ;-) ). Some, like John , run Parallels Desktop for Mac . Others, want to use BootCamp so they can run Vista, possibly with Aero Glass. Today I learned about CrossOver Mac . It lets you run your Windows programs in a window without the need for VM software like VMWare for Mac or Parallels or the need to dual boot with BootCamp. In particular, with the disclaimer that I'm not a lawyer and I don't know anything yet about how CrossOver Mac works, it appears you don't need a Windows license to run a Windows program. This is interesting indeed. End of line. Read More...
