My first exposure to a computer was in a lab at IBM, i was probably about 9 years old at the time which would make it somewhere around 1972. I was part of a organization called Big Brothers of America and my "Big Brother" worked at IBM at the time. I just remember all these people walking around and him showing me a stack of cards that the computer read. I vaguely remember them dropping them into this bin and the cards getting sucked into the machine one by one from the bottom of the stack and being spit back out someplace else. Clueless as to what any of this meant.
Sad to say but i really had no clue what i was looking at. Even to this day the memory is kind of fuzzy but at least now i can appreciate what i was seeing, i do remember this huge machine with people around it feeding it the stacks of cards
IBM created the worlds first commercially available PC using what they called COTS, common off the shelf components and released it upon the world on August 11th, 1981. I know exactly where i was that day, don't remember what i did but i do remember it. |

I have been using SugarCRM for my business for quite some time now. My goal is to automate as much of my business process as possible and while sugarCRM kicks major ass its missing a few needful things for me. SO i have paid a developer to begin coding some of this and the first one is a invoicing module that will take calls from the calendar and generate a PDF invoice from the data. |

One of the best webmail clients i have ever used is Horde with IMP and the rest of the Horde Framework Projects. Only problem is it has what i call a BUI instead of a GUI.
A GUI is a Graphical User Interface and a BUI is a BUTT Ugly Interface. Horde rocks in all catergories except its look and mostly its about its choice of Icons.
So i have grabbed some of the best KDE icons and replaced all of the Horde icons with the appropriate KDE icon. If you wish to see a screenshot check click here. You can find the download in the File Manager on the left. All filenames are the same so you should be able to unzip this right over your Horde installation. This was done for a plesk installation so the only different should be the Horde folder being named psa-horde instead.

Its now 4am in the morning, I am finally back to my hotel after having gone out and had dinner at Jerrys Deli in Westwoood, which involved sitting down and talking to Cuba Gooding Junior and his manager. That was after going to a party at the Playboy Mansion no less. With many new pictures from the Mansion, including mine with Kendra Wilkinson. The party was a fund raiser for the Marijuana Policy Project but from where i was sitting it might as well have been sponsored by the Long Island Iced tea Initiative. One thing i walk away with which in my hazy state of mentality is this there is Digital and there is the real Analog world. Yes i got to meet real playboy bunnies and damn Dupont must be proud cause those things were just a tad smaller than the blimp.
I have seen a few fake tits but these were unreal. Honestly there was very little about them that was sexy. Trust me there were TONS of gorgeous women there but the fake tits on the one playboy bunny were bad, the blonde chick looked a lot like Pamela Anderson. The things were so huge they had to hurt, lord knows i have seen pimples pop that were under less pressure.
Which brings me to my Digital VS Analog statement. Cameras. |
