84whp

The toaster went on the dyno yesterday; after the intake was installed I got 84whp and 88lb/tq. Not bad, I am very happy with the intake, considering I gained 6hp, and 10lb/tq. I also installed the rear sway bar, and front strut tower bar. I am very pleased with the improvement in the overall handling [...]

Motivation

When working I often feel that sometimes I can’t get motivated. The Retrospector has written a great list on how to keep a geek motivated, I can’t agree more with the list.
1. Geeks are curious. Let them feed their desire to learn things
2. Geeks like to be self-sustaining. Let them figure things out on their [...]

Airports

This afternoon I had to take my father to the airport. I made a few interesting observations that still have my wondering. First off there was a dude carrying a level around with his luggage, what the hell would he need that for? The next thing was the display case of items that you [...]

Disabling PDF Display in Firefox

If you are like me and hate it when PDF files open in the browser window I have a solution.
The good news is that there is a “very easy way” (it’s just four levels of dialogs down, come on!) to change this behavior with Firefox on Windows:

Pictures of the xB

Here are some pictures of the xB. They aren’t that great and it needed a bath very badly but it’s better than nothing.

xB First Thoughts

Well I’ve had my 2006 xB sense last Friday and I am quite pleased. It is a change from my old daily driver, a 2001 Dodge Dakota, but a good change. I was impressed with the good mileage; I did lots of town driving, driving up to and around Olympia, and finally drove to Vancouver [...]

Firefox Day

You made an informed decision about the way you want to use the Web. You’ve become part of the movement on which Firefox relies – a community that is restoring balance to the Web.
Starting on July 15, the day that the Mozilla Foundation was created, we ask that you tell just one person who doesn’t [...]

Saving Sessions

Well my hate for Opera is starting to fade. I have started to forgive it for crashing on me due to the ability to save session. Firefox doesn’t have this feature (yet), and when it comes it will be a very happy day. I am getting caught up on my blogging and reading, and finally [...]
