It’s alive! Alive, I tell you!

Deeperhue has become automaticMEDIUM. Don’t get too attached to that site design, however, because there’s a new one on the way.

Sorry

I apologize for the halt that Alternate has abruptly grinded to… As it turns out, freelance has left me pretty much busy constantly, and the baby takes up other time that’s not spent working. Soon, though, you’ll get some better stuff to read, promise.

go to http://www.google.com/preferences and set your language to Hacker. Then go back and reload the Google homepage… you are now the 3l337 and the envy of all your friends. (Damn, I hope not.)

*I just noticed this is my second post in one day about Google… weird…

One company I don't mind pirating from

Microsoft Word + Entourage SE will be available in English and French versions for an estimated retail price of US$149. The English version is expected to reach stores the week of July 9, and the French version the week of Aug. 6.

Seriously? Only $150 for a fucking word processor and email app? Where do I sign up? Wow… It’s not like I could get an entire UNIX-based operating system for less than that price, or a Linux-based one for fucking free. Holy crap. Microsoft really does know what they’re doing, and this whole ‘open-software’ thing is just a fad. Expensive, shitty software that is incompatible with other software from the same vendor really is the future. I simply love how sometimes, inexplicably, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 Mac Edition and Microsoft Entourage can’t run at the same time, or if they do, then you have to open IE first, otherwise the whole machine crashes. That’s zzzrad.

All of a sudden, that 80mb Hotline download a year ago that provided me with Office 2k1:mac for no price whatsoever looks like a great deal.

Requires Virtual PC to install?

Someone please explain to me how I am supposed to install this firmware update on a G4 for a Sony CD-RW drive?


This Firmware Upgrade can be installed under Windows 98, ME, and 2000 Operating Systems. The upgrade resolves multiple CDRW drive functionality, Retrospect software functionality, and Mac G-4 detection issues. Some drives were shipped with this version of Firmware installed. Those users will be notified during the upgrade that it is not neccessary to continue.
