Sorry if it's been such a long time since my last post.  There have been a few things occupying my mind lately that are neither here nor there.I daresay that IE8 is superior to FF3, having used both the past few weeks.  Microsoft's Internet Explorer on my Vista machine runs much smoother and requires less memory than Firefox.  Opera 9.5 is falling by the wayside.  Without extensions, IE8 performs

The online world has become more complicated in these past two years.  What used to be a question of "does it support AJAX?" has become "Does it support Acid3?"Finally, the world of web browsers is beginning to come around and support WC3 standards.  I applaud all companies, from lowly Opera (to which I'm partial) all the way to Microsoft (which I loathe and use)But now the online world is

It's been nearly two years since I've updated this site...two very long years indeed.  It's about time I make a comeback.  After two years of constant studying of the economics of software, and economics in general, leads me to believe that the time is now for a fundit (Mo Rocca's play on words for a fun pundit).I've taken my notes, the stories are here.  Check back shortly, I'll attempt a

Search Engine CompetitionBecause of Google's popularity, Yahoo and MSN are playing catch-up on a very uneven and unsteady market not least because the two haven't figured out the magic of Google yet. These two websites operate on the philosophy that to be top, you need to be the best at everything and, in MSN's case, be in every possible online market. Google proved this wrong. Simplicity

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, or AJAX, is a "web development technique for creating interactive web applications" (thank you Wikipedia). In the past few days I gotten a bit more familiar with AJAX. In the briefest terms possible, AJAX acts as though the program is run on your computer, and not on an external server. This is made possible because a page is not reloaded, but instead

Browser WarsIt's a topic that just won't go away. What's the best browser out there? No one can answer that but yourself, you just need to be open. I've given in depth reviews on the major browsers, but unlike many reviews you might read, I not only reported the date, but how usable and stable each product is. Seems to be that the browsers with the least usability have fallen by the wayside

The Google Operating System I guess it began with Google Desktop a few years ago. Since then there's the web accelerator, Gmail, Google Spreadsheets and Writely. There was some speculation whether Google would begin developing an Operating System to more directly compete with Microsoft. It has happened, it took only a few years, and has been apparently successful. And oddly enough, it

Looks like I'm back on the scene after another hiatus. How the hell am I supposed to build up readership and ad revenue when I disappear every now and then for months at a time? Writing is relaxing, I need to do it more often. I'm going back to the tried and true method of writing ideas in a notebook, fleshing them out, and then posting them. Always seemed like a good idea, and in

Writely In Open Beta That wonderful web-based word processor Writely has undergone some changes since i wrote about it last. Earlier this year it was acquired by the online behemoth Google. While I still hold some trepidation over the acquisition, for the founders it was likely a wise decision. Some users may be apprehensive putting their documents on Google's servers, but the few who

As I've Stated before, I'm not from New Orleans, or in any of the Gulf Coast cities directly affected by hurricane Katrina. I live in Baton Rouge, an hour's drive from New Orleans. Pre Katrina, Baton Rouge was a "city" of about 300,000 residents. In regards to infastructrue, the city is more of a Smalltown, USA type. Traffic was always bad, the roads never seemed to catch up with the

And is it hot in here or what. It's 83 degrees inside because the air conditioner isn't working properley and the landlord is a little slow to do maintenance work, which of course isn't helping my cold much. Oh well. I'm off to work in a little bit, and have an interview with a company called Vector tomorrow at 12, hopefully I'll feel well enough to make a good impression.

After hosting the Carnival of the Capitalists (always a pleasure, and always something I look forward to), it's high time I re-re-started the Carnival of Computing. I lost contact of many of those who hoped to host the Carnival of Computing, but if any of you wish to help me, I have more than 200 articles that need to be brought to a wider public.

It must be Monday again, and that means a new installment of the Carnival of the Capitalists. I'm sorry if this reads a lot like a cut and paste job, but I've been down with a touch of Bronchitis since Friday. What isn't important is how well I summarized these posts but that they exist for your reading pleasure and edification. Go on and take a look. Since I'm posting this Sunday afternoon,

As always, a resounding "yes". And what excuse do I always fall back on? Busy! How can anyone ever forget that? In fact I should probably change the blog's title to "If there hasn't been a post in a month or so, I'm actually in the middle of being busy". Or something like that.Actually I stopped posting because of a ghost. Sure, she'd been around here before (as I check my logs), but she's

So comes a time when there must be a Carnival of Computing. Sure, it's been a while since my last, but it's kind of hard to do it every week. If you are interested in hosting just shoot me an email or leave a comment. It's been a busy few weeks in the tech world and hopefully the following posts will tide you over until version 1.0.9.

Welcome one and all to the Carnival of the Capitalists. It may be up a little late, but never you fear, the Carnival is here. Also, visit later today for the next edition of the Carnival of Computing (version 1.0.8). Without further ado, let's proceed with the show.The Boring made dull continues to be "No Worse Than a Poke in the Eye" with this post concerning a stock pitched via fax.

Time must fly. Monday crept up on me and I don't have enough time before work to get the Carnival ready (started, however, is another matter). Look for it tomorrow or thursday for sure. Also, I'm taking up the Carnival of the Capitalists next week so I'm looking to outsource (heh) the Carnival of Computing for next monday. Interested parties can contact me at andrewhughes.1@gmail.

It's that time of week again. If I hadn't worked 70 hours last week I would have had this up much earlier. School starts back up for me tomorrow, and oddly enough that means I'll be able to stay on top of the Carnival instead of never getting around to it. In fact, I ought to be able to find a replacement site to take care of the Carnival for when I know I won't be around. But enough about the

Got my second check from Adbrite the other day, so I'm pleased as punch. 4 dollars and change, almost 4 times my first check. That'd be awesome if it wasn't so depressing. At least, unlike other ad programs, Adbrite pays you every month you make money (assuming it's more than a dollar) instead of 100.

I'm back in Louisiana now. Been here a week, but I've been working and otherwise keeping myself busy. No matter, there will be a Carnival of Computing tomorrow for all you wondering, I've got plenty enough submissions to go through so it shouldn't take me too long to work on it. But if it's not up by 11 am cst, don't count on it until very late tomorrow. I'm taking advantage of the last week

I left on Monday for NJ and got her yesterday afternoon at around 5. I'm staying with my paternal grandmother for a few days, then my maternal for another few days. After that, I should have 2-3 days to do whatever (so if there're any friends around, just email me). Damned MTA is down, my 70 year old uncle had to walk 35 blocks to get to work from Penn Station.

Here. Check it out, and much thanks to Elisa Camahort for making it possible during my finals week. I hope to publish it next week and then it's going to New Jersey with me for a much needed vacation. How I'm going to transport it escapes me at the moment, but there has to be a way. Right?

I can't be the only one to notice these changes. What a weird world we live in, right? Last year I was all for democracy in Ukraine (The Land, which is why I refuse to call it "The" Ukraine), just ask a very "special" ex of mine. Granted, Eastern European politics strikes close to home with me, what with my Grandparents having to dodge a minefield to get from Hungary to Austria (with my Aunt

Bear in mind that I've never publicly bashed Firefox, though I do prefer Opera. I think any browser that's updated often, has decent support, and isn't Internet Explorer is a good browser.But I've seen the bashing of both these browsers. People, get a life (though I'm about to offer proof that I don't have one), you can argue a point without having a flame war. Here's a level headed approach

I read those few posts that I wrote on paper and I found I blog better when I'm away from the computer. It actually allows me to proofread my writing, though that's an involuntary benefit. More importantly, I have fewer distractions sitting by myself, computer off or wireless disabled. I wander when I'm online. There are ten sites I go to frequently. Then there are thirty or so that I go to

Twenty Four more page views before I hit 15,000. I hit 10,000 September 27, so not bad overall. 106 views/day? Yeah, that's decent enough, though remember there's like three instalanches in there, so it's more like 40 a day plus 700 every couple of weeks. No matter though, traffic is traffic.

Last night, while working at an Italian restaurant, a funny thing happened to me. Immediately that evening I felt a presence much higher than myself. Preparing a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, the dish erupted into flame and I recognized the visage of the great Flying Spaghetti Monster, and I fell prostrate. He said to me "Andrew, take these beer bottles. Enscribed on each one is a law which my

I've decided to move this carnival to Mondays, that'll give the host a weekend to prepare. Don't forget to submit your stories here, and ask me about hosting this carnival. It's time for it to move off of my site every week, and you know you'll love the traffic. Most of the following links pop, but I may have missed a few. Enjoy! David Daniels at Business & Technology

It'll be up as soon as Writely starts allowing me to insert links. It suddenly stopped working just a few minutes ago.

I would love to try out Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Not only is there money involved, but, um, there's money involved. The problem is, I signed in, and everything is down. The result of a slashdoting?

It will all come together soon. I feel as though I'm on the verge of something big, but I'm unsure as to what. For the next few weeks it's going to be all about Carpe Diem.

Thursday was the day I arbitrarily chose to have the Carnival of Computing. It just isn't working out, though. I don't have a lot of free time to arrange it during the week, and I doubt many others do, either. So I hereby announce that the Carnival will from now on be taking place on Mondays beginning Nov. 7.

I've finally crossed the line I didn't even know existed. Before my 4 month long hiatus (thank you so much, Amy, glad Rita came and visited you) I spoke so much more about economic issues. So much so that I made quite a few aquaintences in much higher places than I, a lowly college student. It's unfortunate that I don't keep in touch with some of them as often as I ought (especially Michael

After all the cheating ex-girlfriends I've had (up to four this past fortnight), this sounds like a lot of fun, though replace the male parts for female and you'll get the idea. Basically, some girl went nutso. I have yet to RTFA, but I can bet it was because the guy went and cheated on her. Poor girl, really.

I'd like to go into some depth regarding online advertising venues, especially those that are text based. I've used AdBrite since March, and I doubt I'll be dropping them any time soon. I've recently started using Yahoo's advertising network, though I'm technically beta testing it. And hopefully, in a week or so, I'll start using AdSense, Google's text ad program (though I still find myself wary

Net Vibes is up there until they start at least allowing Opera 9 users to see what's wrong with their page (or with Opera). Writely is, of course, and AJAX based word processor (you access it through your browser). Today it became apparent to me why Writely strives to be an aide to bloggers.On the surface, it is, as I

I'm kicking it old school tonight. I went to my favorite coffee shop, which also happens to be one of the few in town without wireless access. I'm also kind of hoping to see at least one of my friends over here while I'm studying, for a break.

It has been a busy few days. Judge Alito being nominated to the Supreme Court, Halloween, and all of this wonderfull stuff. I just haven't been writing as often recently, as I'm busy, but I guess from now on I can fit a few posts in every day (now that I've found the perfect time to do so). Adbrite doesn't yield earning higher than Yahoo's ads, so I've moved that banner up. Not that any of you

Nothing interesting right now, so I decided to take some time with wonderful class blogging. Yeah, this one is kind of slow right now, and since I take all my notes on my laptop (and there's wireless in the classroom), I may as well do one of the things I truly enjoy. Hence me blogging from class yet again. It's a wonder I have a passing grade.Technorati Tags: Alito, halloween, bob herbert,

It's going to happen today. This morning in fact. I think it's time that I spend some honest to god work on getting this Carnival running once again. Look for it in a few hours. Or at least in the morning.And yes, I intend on having another on Thursday, and then...The Carnival of Computing will be off to see the world. If you want to host, just shoot me an email, and I'll set you up.

You know, someone suggested that I make the Carnival travel as quickly as possible. I was uncertain at first, but after some reflection, perhaps that's the only way to get the show on the road. As it were.As far as personal life, yeah, it's gotten more fucked up in the last few days, but that's another story for another day (and if it gets anywhere, I'll change "fucked up" to "wonderful".

No more personal stuff for at least a few days, I promise. I have to focus on the Carnival of Computing as well as actually writing down pertinante information. And yes, I can finally say that I have enough submissions for the Carnival that in only a few short weeks it will be traveling. That, my friends, is awesome.To think I actually have good ideas from time to time.

So allow me to give my ego a little something. This morning I woke up, and to my astonishment, I had 8 adbrite ads in my inbox for me to review. So of course I approved of them all. I could use an extra 40 cents :) .This evening, I'm checking Adbrite's main page, and you know who's listed as a top seller for today? Yup, me! I'm saving that one for posterity over here.

You know, the more I look at the tracking model for Wilma, the more I remember that I will never live in Florida. Bit too risky, if you ask me. Bad enough living in Louisiana, where if the hurricanes don't kill you, the chemical plants will. But I digress. I'm sick of this hurricane season. Always am by now.

Very interesting so far. I can't say it's horrible, seeing how it's much more functional than Firefox is out of the box. But it is a tad bit buggy. No matter, I've worked with Opera, and I know all about seeing bugs in previews. The biggest problem I have right now is the lack of extensions. I'll be eagerly awaiting mouse gestures, among a few other things. The GUI is ok, reminds me of an

I'm giving Flock a try (thanks to the fine folks over there). We'll see how it goes throughout the day. As I'm a browser junkie, we'll see how it does.

For a link to download plus the changelog, check out the Opera Snapshot Page. These guys over at Opera have been working on this for a long time, and their work seems to have paid off. Know that not everything is working perfectly (it is a preview after all), and we probably won't see a final version for quite some time. But it is always fun to play with the latest, especially the greatest,

King Edward I You scored 64 Wisdom, 69 Tactics, 55 Guts, and 58 Ruthlessness! Or rather, King Edward the Longshanks if you've seen Braveheart. You, like Edward, are incredibly smart and shrewd, but you win at any costs.... William Wallace died at his hands after a fierce Scottish rebellion against his reign. Despite his reputation though, Longshanks had the best interests

This is how it's going to go. I miss talking about business/economics/finance. And I never intended on making this a personal journal, nor a tech blog (don't have the qualifications). So, I'm back to doing what I used to do...I've subscribed to PR Newswire's RSS feed. That'll get me back on track. See, I used to talk about whatever I had coming down the wire that caught my eye,

This week is the second week of a two week anniversary celebration of the Carnival of the Capitalists. Check it out over at Accidental Verbosity. Jay is looking for comments on the Carnival, specifically what should be included and what shouldn't. Great posts all around, I suggest you check it out.

You can't live with them, and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy little Nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash or something (Emo Phillips). Yeah, things are weird with my social life. Oh well, that's what I think. I'm dating this one girl, but haven't seen her in a few days, and we seem to be missing eachother (as in like phone tag). But that's no big deal, better

Sure, I didn't have any posts pertaining to economics or the business world. But I should have. I hardly ever miss posting to the Carnival of The Capitalists, so I feel even more stupid for missing this week's. Sure I have been a bit on the "Blog news and Reviews" bent, as blogshares calls me because when they looked at my site they saw three Carnivals. But you know, I think I'm going to take

I heard this on Rush Limbaugh right before turning off the radio...who dictates the price of gas. Who is this one person? The media wants to know. Have we American's shunned any and all responsibility? Some days, that's what I think has happened. But let's dissect this, because it's important to know. You do. Yeah, you dictate the price of gas.

Writely doesn't want to post to my blog. Oh well, I say, I've been so impressed by the software that it'll take something way over the top for me to stop using it. Hell, it's a beta, I should expect problems like that. Since I'm on the topic of Writely, I think it's improtant to bring up that I've gotten Sam Schillace of Writely and the Javascript team from Opera talking. Only good things can

It's going to be another long day for me here. Not only do I have schoolwork coming out the, well, ears we'll say, but I've got a date tonight. And you know what, I'm going to take advantage of that date. No, not like that, people, c'mon get your heads out of the gutter. Though I'm not entirely sure that I'm ready to get back out in the dating world, I also don't bump into a lot of women who

Yeah, I use both, and would prefer to use both. But that day is not here, at least not yet. I am

This week's Carnival is really short. It has been an unexpectedly busy week here at Anyletter's, so I only had time to do what you see here. Yes, it's a shame and a crime, but it is what it is. Importantly, if you want to see this Carnival grow, go ahead and submit a blog post at Conservative Cat's Submission Form. Take care everyone, and hope to see you next week (with many more links.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have lined up a second interview, this one with Netanel Jacobsson of Maxthon. I hope everyone is looking forward to it. Granted, I'm not an interviewer by any means, but I'll do anything to promote good causes while also promoting my blog. This is a good thing!

Average pageloads from last Monday through today are at 666/day. Why's that funny? You got me, just is. Oh, and this post is yet another excuse to add to the Carnival of Computing. Submissions go here.

Found this on Beta News. Netscape 8 is going to be shipping on Hewlet-Packard computers. But what about Firefox? Or Opera? Both are much better than N8, and IE can't even compete with either of them. It's nice that people are going to have more options when it comes to browsing, but Netscape? Ugh, this just reeks of AOL doing what it generally does. Infect every computer in the world. Heh, Google

You know, I wasn't sure the whole "two links into the Carnival draft for every post" would work. Surely it has! It's actually making the Carnival less of a pain in the ass that I need done every Thursday and more of a force of habit. Now why can't I have more good ideas? Oh, and if you think this is a poor excuse to add to the Carnival, then you, my friend, would be correct.

A few weeks ago, I'd have said the jury was still out on this one. Google is now in prime position to topple Microsoft's miniopoly (yes, we coin words here at Anyletter). Take into consideration Forbes' article on Microsoft weakening. It looks as though MS is becoming less a business and more a bureaucracy. You know, I don't mind Microsoft all that much, it typically comes out with

Earlier today I decided I'd try my hand at an interview, and who better than Sam Schillace, the Co-Founder of Writely, an AJAX based word processor (oh, but it's so much more). I've taken quite a liking to the program, as it's fast, efficient, and does exactly what it ought to do. I'd advise all of you to try it. Sam also maintains a blog, giving details and insight on Writely.

With the third Carnival of Computing coming up, and me looking at it as a bit of a pain in the ass, I've had an idea. To make sure that the next Carnival is of high quality (and plenty of links), every time I post to AnyLetter, I'll be sure to add two links to my Carnival draft. That ought to at least make things a bit easier on me come Wednesday. Let's all hope this works out best.

I'm writing all of this on Sunday, right? I'd like to get some more traffic to my site, obviously. So why the hell am I posting all of these? I can get so many more hits tomorrow (even if they are "Next Blog" hits). So I'm just going to go ahead an keep on writing today, and publish these tomorrow (hourly, or whenever I feel like it). That'll probably be my better idea, though I usually get about

I've got about 5 more hours to go before I have to head home (gotta make a phone call, then Drudge Radio show). Here's the plan: start gathering links for this week's Carnival of Computing, finish writing a post about AJAX, chill out on Fark for a little while, and finish up my homework, and fart around on the laptop. And it wouldn't be a post without remind all of you to submit a post for this

Gmail tells me I've got more than 4,000 emails.  That's not cool.  So I'm thinking I'll spend a couple of hours cleaning it all out.  I should have done this ages ago, but you know how it is.  Besides, way too many of those 4,000 are from a "wonderful" ex of mine, and I really don't mind erasing her from my life.  Ah to be bitter, it really is great sometimes.  If you're wondering why posting may
