In search of the perfect printer
Posted on 26. Mar, 2012 by Kenny.
Okay, I need a little help from some fellow tech geeks. I have a 6 year old Dell laser printer which has been a fantastic little printer. I was using a wireless printer server for about 3 years until it crashed and burned a few months ago. I could never get my mac to print wirelessly, so I always had to email stuff to the PC and print from there. I’ve been setting aside some cash and I think I have enough now to get what I want. So, here is what I’m looking for and I’m hoping that someone can tell me what I could get.

Browser Wars
Posted on 15. Feb, 2010 by Kenny.
Yesterday I announced that Google Chrome was my app of the week, mostly becasue of the extensions capability. I’ve been using Firefox for the last several years and have been very excited to move to Chrome. However, I realized that most people generally use Internet Explorer if they have a PC. If they have a Mac, then there’s a good chance they’re using Safari. What browser you use is totally a personal choice, but I think that most of these people use these browsers simple becasue it’s what was on their computer when they got it and they’re just happy with it. The problem is that most of these people don’t know that there could possibly be a much better experience right around the corner.… Read the rest

I may use a Mac, but I didn’t drink the Kool Aid

I don’t know what kind of Apple hate this post is going to bring down on me, but I’ve just gotta vent.
I was having a conversation with a fellow blogger yesterday (I won’t say any names as to not place a target on this person as well). I was talking about my current email situation. Last week I switched my work email over to gmail becasue I so passionately hate Entourage. Really, my biggest problem is that I just needed to be able to freakin’ sync my google calendar with my work calendar in any way. I’ve explored every option available and the best solution I had was to forward my email to gmail and use a google calendar. The positive side of things is that my wife can now see my calendar and all is well on that front.… Read the rest

The day I quit Entourage
Posted on 13. Oct, 2009 by Kenny.
Yesterday I stopped using Entourage. Done. For good.
I switched to a Mac over a year ago. There was a lot of things to get used to. Some of them good, some of them bad. Email was one of the bad.
I’ve been an Outlook user for years and for the most part, it was a great product. It did most things I needed pretty well. The problem has always been syncing. Getting my calendar to sync with my wife’s calendar is MONUMENTAL. Almost two years ago, Google created a program that would sync my outlook calendar with my google calendar. It was an answer to prayer and all was happy in the Conley household. Then I switched to a Mac.… Read the rest

Google Chrome for the Mac is here… kinda
Posted on 09. Jun, 2009 by Kenny.
Last summer Google released Chrome for windows. I downloaded it on my wife’s computer. I was very impressed as it is fast. Very fast. Unfortunately, it’s taken a year for them to develop Chrome for the Mac. They still haven’t even developed plugins yet, which is what I love most about Firefox.
Well, you can now download the developers version of Chrome for the Mac. Google discourages general users to download this as it’s buggy and many things don’t work yet. But, if you want to take it for a test drive and see how it works, you can. Click here to get it.… Read the rest
