Articles written by me.
Bad StarTrek pun by me.
Graphics (except for the first one that is a Windows 7 Ad) are by me.
Coding is by me, or --more accurately -- cobled together from code-repositories and grafted onto a PHP wordpress template (with a custom template design, also designed by me).

The code is supposed to resize the article based on the size of your screen when you click the 'more' link.
It might not work propperly -- I would like to know if you have problems with it.


Comments in general are very welcome!!

What if Marketing Meant Something?

They say that part of the secret to successful marketing is 'having a finger on the pulse of the people'.

Now, one could easily bog down in the details of defining the term 'people' with innumerable demographic categories; but lest the risk of tedium arise, I shall not. Let me also state that I do not profess to be an expert in this subject, despite a career path that appears to reluctantly nudge me in that direction.

While writing articles for a company 'news letter' that is intended (and unlikely) to appear in a week’s time, I breached the fascinating topics of 'Rogue Antivirus' malware, the plethora of MS Office versions, and the so-termed 'Browser Wars'. The third article, perhaps intended for a future release, is conceived exclusively for the opportunity afforded to use a newly-discovered StarWars font.

Yet, as if to speak of provenance, I have had no less than three separate client incidents in as many days that breeched all three topics directly. Several clients became infected by the very-same Rogue software applications that I intended to warn them of; one client ordered a version of Office 2008 and asked why it was different from Office 2007; and a third client inquired as to the reasons and recommendations for different web browsers.

If such metrics are to be used as a gage, than I just may be on to something.
In other news, what could be more delightful than a software-based call-manager that lets you know when a colleague is available at his desk yet refusing to answer your phone call?

Why, an intercom-phone system that gives him no choice, of course!

What if the moon retaliated?

After scattering productions of literary detritus across Opendiary, LiveJournal and Wordpress; evolution has brought me here.

Let's hope I have something a bit more interesting to say this time...

After all, they bombed the moon today.

Le Petit Prince is likely very afraid...

(Yes, I am aware that there is no Oxygen on the moon to create flame...)
