Goodbye SOHO Notes

Posted on August 28th, 2006 in Computers by Administrator

I made an earlier post about Yojimbo. I had been using it and liked it very much. In that post I mentioned that one of the possible alternatives was the new SOHO Notes application from Chronos.

Well I decided to go ahead and give SOHO Notes a try. I have been using it for the last month or two.

Today I have uninstalled SOHO Notes and will not be using it again. In spite of following all of the technical bulletins and other suggestions in the support forums, in spite of running the latest version with the bug fixes, etc., I still kept having repeated problems trying to keep information synchronized between just two computers.

I give up! No more SOHO Notes. Viva Yojimbo and the good folks at Bare Bones software!

Sad sight on today’s ride

Posted on August 20th, 2006 in cycling by Administrator

I was riding my road bicycle today. It was a good ride, about 3 hours long. But as I neared Duessen park I came across a very sad sight. A beautiful hawk had been killed — apparently struck by a car — and was laying on the side of the road.

Writely

Need a good online word processor? Try Writely. This company was just acquired by Google, which is probably a good thing.

I just signed up for a free account and gave it a quick test run. Works great. Lots of features. Very easy to use. You need a current version of Firefox or IE.

There is no problem…

There is no problem in computer science that can’t be solved by adding another level of indirection.
