My very ingenious colleague, Sean “D-List Internet Celebrity” Carruthers, hacked his new car’s keyfob to disable its panic button when he bends over.

My solution would be to STOP BENDING OVER like that.

But, hey! Different strokes dude.

My Affinity Photo Printing Workflow
ByAlfred Ayache Fri Jan 15, 2021Fri May 15, 2026

My good friend Ray got me wise to this new photo editing software called Affinity Photo. Well, it was “new” to me. It’s been around for a while, judging from all the videos about it on YouTube. I’d been grousing about how much it was costing me to have Adobe PhotoShop on my computer. I…

Shawn Chittle writes that he was there at the beginning of Tucows, when it was just one cow. Before they had a barn, even. I love these impromptu histories. They remind me of my days as a young geek in my high school’s computer room.

A few weeks ago I picked up a Lexmark X9575 Wireless 4-in-1 printer, scanner, dicer, chopper, at Costco. It’s sat in the box, unopened, since then; not because I’m a lazy sloth (I am, but that’s another post, probably written by my wife), but rather because I looked up whether it was supported in Ubuntu. …

Finally Beat the Rogers Quick Start Menu
ByAlfred Ayache Sun Jun 27, 2010Sun Jun 27, 2010

In January, Rogers introduced a new feature to its cable TV subscribers: a Quick Start Menu. What’s on this menu? How can it help me? It doesn’t matter. The brain trust at Rogers decided to put the menu behind the “Guide” button, which normally brings up the Integrated Program Guide (IPG). If you actually want…
