Optimize Firefox with 9+1 Must Have Add-ons

By ageor, on January 25th, 2009

During my early days as an IT support person (well before USB flash drives, external hard disks and recordable CDs), I picked up the habit to not be dependent on anything not included in Windows (v. 3.0, at the time) if I could help it. So I got used to working on the setups my […]

The Google Android Platform

By ageor, on October 20th, 2008

I read about Open Handset Alliance‘s Android platform and cellular phones with great interest. The web is full of specs, reviews, comparisons and the like. I just can’t help but share the following thoughts:

Microsoft IE and Standards Compliance

By ageor, on December 29th, 2007

The way I see it, Microsoft effectively confirms allegations about not complying with standards (by, at least, not seriously updating IE6 in over 5 years and […]

Your home on camera, live

By ageor, on December 18th, 2007

Two weeks ago I was asked again to install a couple of cameras to watch a newborn baby at home (with the sitter…).
