Adobe CS3
Well, I manage to score a copy of Adobe’s Creative Suite 3 Design Premium software, which includes a lot of really powerful software including Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, InDesign, and more. Normally, this package runs about $1800 brand new, but thanks to the perks of being on staff at Purdue I was able to grab [...]
Knowledge Base Documentation Woes
I have something against Knowledge Base modules. My complaint is this – they’re all crap!
Knowledge Base modules are supposed to be this repository for a given service, and this repository is supposed to provide all kinds of helpful Q&A-type articles to make using the service easier and more efficient. They’re typically intended to be a first-line support item, [...]
Link Roundup

Photoshop Portable
You know what I wish for? A way to make Photoshop portable, aside from buying a laptop and installing the software on there.

It’s just a matter of retraining my muscle memory to a new system after all these years of [...]
Twitter(Fox)
I’ve been using Twitter for a couple of months now, but I admit that I hadn’t really gotten into much until a friend of mine (thanks, Dweezle) pointed me at a nice little Firefox addon called TwitterFox. It basically lets you read and write twitters right from your Firefox statusbar. It makes it extremely convenient [...]
WP-Stats Problems
I don’t track my blog stats quite as religiously as I did a year ago, so it was a couple of days after I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 before I realized that something very strange was happening with my stats. I switched to WP-Stats awhile back because it’s lightweight and takes some of the load [...]
