A month with the Z10 - a love story

Submitted by chuck1 on Mon, 2013-04-22 22:13

After a full month of heavy CrackBerry Z10 use, here's what I think:

Blackberry Z10 Initial Review

Submitted by chuck1 on Sun, 2013-03-24 17:52

First of all, I want to make perfectly clear that I have no financial stake in BlackBerry, don't work for them, don't have any family or friends who do, and don't own a single share of stock. The following is my honest opinion as a consumer. I am, however, an unabashed "fanboy" of the company's products.

I pre-ordered my BlackBerry Z10 on the day of the announcement of its March 22 U.S. release. During my lunch break on Friday (just two days ago -- it seems like the world has changed since then!), I walked over to the AT&T store and picked up my new device after a torturous, seemingly endless wait.

Can't Delete Bogus LinkedIn Profile

Submitted by chuck1 on Thu, 2013-03-21 20:19

LinkedIn has helped a lot of people get jobs and "connect" or whatever, but it's never been anything but a major pain in my ass.

Never one for so-called "social networking," (I find it antisocial and not at all productive) I've been trying to delete "my" LinkedIn profile for years. I can't log in to it because it was created with an e-mail address to which I do not have access. LinkedIn won't remove it for the same reason.

Why I Still Prefer My Blackberry

Submitted by chuck1 on Tue, 2012-10-16 20:58

So I read this article about how Blackberry users are supposedly ashamed of our devices. As a proud Blackberry user, I must respond.

Let me first say that I have no affiliation with RIM, no financial interest in RIM, and -- to the best of my knowledge -- no friends or family with any interest in RIM.

Neither am I an Apple hater. Between the top-of-the-line MacBook Pro I bought for myself and the one my employer bought me, I'm in for 5 large + to Apple, like, ten iPhones.

Chuck's censored butt. Since there's nobody around, we pretty much get naked whenever we want.

This is how you catch fish: Get up early when they're hungry and you're not.

The Mighty Hunter at rest...

Chuck admires a perfect cast. The fish was so big it took both of us to get it in the boat, and we were so excited that we forgot to snap a photo!

Why Are the Knicks Winning?

Submitted by chuck1 on Mon, 2012-02-13 13:38

The following is relevant to sports, business, and every team effort.

The hapless New York Knicks are on a tear! With a five-game winning streak under their belts, they're one of the hottest teams in the NBA at the moment of this writing. Jeremy Lin is the talk of the town, and why not! His is a great story.

The Other "P": PERL

Submitted by chuck1 on Wed, 2012-02-08 16:44

I actually had an opportunity to use PERL today for the first time in years. Over the past few years, it was easy to forget "the other 'P'" in LAMP because PHP (and I guess Python, but I don't know much about that) has become so robust. There are still times when a good old-school PERL script is the best way to get 'er done.

My situation today was this:

Go Big or Go Home

Don't let risk mitigation turn you lukewarm!

Security and safety are very important. I am hip to that. No need to "lead with your chin" in business. In love, that philosophy is even more stupid.

"Drupal Sucks"

Before you say that, consider this:

OK, so I'm back on it...

Submitted by chuck1 on Thu, 2011-06-23 18:37

So I'm re-doing the site as you can see. The video on the front page will change. Just trying to get it working HTML5-style now. There are so many devices, operating systems and browsers out there now. It's complex to serve things up correctly to all of them.

Speaking of which, if you notice anything odd in the display or if the front page video doesn't display/play correctly in your browser or device, let me know. I'm especially interested to hear how things are working in the Droid world.

I currently have two e-books published and available from Amazon.com. Never mind the cheesy do-it-yourself cover art -- you need to read these.

How to Make Money as an Internet Publisher
Find out if you have what it takes to make the Internet spit money at you. It's not easy. It's not something anyone can do. If you do have what it takes, this book will show you the way. If you don't, you're better off finding out now.

We Are Water (plus a few songs for dolphins)
A priceless poetry chapbook sure to make your day. Only $2.99!
