Kirb’s Musings

Kirby Witmer’s ponderings, ruminations, and meditations of… anything.

Can someone explain to me why you can't do SSL on a subdomain with Hostmonster? Is it a limitation of cpanel or what? (0)

I haven’t written about the new Live Mesh software much at all, but that doesn’t mean I don’t recommend it. I do. Its an awesome program with lots of capabilities and much more to come. The biggest pick I have against Live Mesh is space limitations! As you can see I just about maxed out my Mesh space today!

Anyway, I hope to have a more indepth review of Live Mesh in the near future. In the mean time, you can sign up at mesh.com.

Way back in February, Microsoft offered Yahoo approximately $31 a share for the whole company. Yahoo rejected the offer as substantially undervalued. Now, months later, Yahoo’s stock is trading close to $18 a share. Now would be the time for Microsoft to offer $25 a share for Yahoo.

Update: Now its below $18 at $17.98.

Concatenation is the operation of joining two character strings end to end. For example, in Excel you can combine the two values in another cell by using the following formula: =CONCATENATE(A1,B1) (0)

The Mesh team says they've discovered a bad bug in the Live Mesh software. Until a fix is pushed, do NOT delete any folders from your mesh or change synchronization settings. (0)

Hans alerted me to a really cool wordpress plugin. I never could figure out how Matt could post like this. Now I know. :) (0)

Has anyone ran into this problem? Periodically, I get the following message since I installed Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2.

The funny thing is, nothing seems to close. IE remains running. Does anyone know what causes this? Is it an addon, like Google Toolbar? Or just a bug?

Update: I’m pretty suspicious its a Google Toolbar problem. Several times this error has occured when I open a new tab. The tab will still open, but Google Toolbar will not appear on the new tab.

Its been several months since Beta 1 was released, now Microsoft has announced that Beta 2 of Internet Explorer 8 is available. I’ve downloaded and installed the beta and here is a quick overview of the installation process and new features.

Its been over two years ago that I cautiously started my own business endeavor called Kirbtech. At the time, I opted to put up a one page website with just an overview of the various services that Kirbtech offered. Unfortunately that one page has been up for 2+ years!! Well, I’m pleased to announce we’ve finally launched a new version of www.kirbtech.com. Its still a work in progress, and I have more ideas to implement yet. The good folks at insightdesignworks.com were responsible for the initial design, although I’ve been heavily tweaking it since. So check it out, and let me know your critiques, comments, and ideas!

I’ve moderated comments here for quite some time already, but I thought I would make an official comment policy so that everyone knows what it is.

1. All spam is deleted.
2. Comments using keywords, spam or splog-like URLs, or suspicious information in the comment form will be edited or deleted. I have no time for comments that contain keywords pointing to a URL. I will remove the URL before approving the comment.
3. Personal attacks are not tolerated.
4. Stay on topic. Off topic comments may be deleted.

I will update this policy from time to time as needed. Last update: 8/21/2008
