Ok, so I'm checking out www.sbsummit.com on my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. I open up Internet Explorer 7 and install Flash Player so I can watch the video stream of the webcasts. What I get is an awesome video of a black screen. It doesn't work. Ironically, the first webcast I was going to view was entitled "The Vista Advantage".
So, now, I jump over to my Mac machine running OS X 10.5 Leopard and open up Firefox 2.0.0.12. I go over to www.sbsummit.com and the webcast starts playing immediately.
Imagine that.

yay for opensource
Well, since openoffice.org is opensource, the good people at planamesa inc. have created a Mac OSX native version of it called NeoOffice
Check it out.
Check it out.

merger, affiliation, alliance, partnership
Is a merger still a merger by any other name?
Funny how psychology works in all areas of life, and I thought that piece of paper from UC Berkeley would be worth nothing, Ha!
So, I'm in partnership (the current definition that I like) with Moonknight Networks, based in Oakland, CA. I'm still gonna keep the website and e-mail address of computerhelp2go@gmail.com but I'm just going back to being an independant contractor as I started out. In other words, I'm no longer Computerhelp2go as a company identity, I'm just "Scott Garrett Daniel IT Consultant". Sounds good to me. So, the psychology of all this is that I'm balancing my identity as an Independant IT Contractor and my new identity as an Apprentice to a Seasoned IT-Consultant with 15 years of experience. I'll be making less money for the jobs he passes to me, but I will be gaining valuable experience with small to medium-size business networks. Servers, Routers, and Firewalls Oh my! Maybe now I can finally achieve the dream of establishing telepathic contact with a room full of servers.
The other thing to note right now is that I've been rejected from SJSU and SFSU for the master's in experimental psychology program that I applied to. Yeah, I forgot to tell you guys about that. Now I'm just waiting on NMSU, and if they don't want me then I'm gonna go with the IT Business. Because, you know, I like the independance and I like helping people with computers. And I like computers because even though you have to tell them exactly what to do like children, they don't talk back. :)
