News - The home of Spybot-S&D!
Posted by Administrator on Jan 12, 2006
I am really getting frustrated with Symantec. Over the last 12 months I have had nothing but bad experiences with Symantec. They have provided poor service to me as both a commercial customer. At the office we use have purchased and license for Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition. I have experience poor support. Speaking with technical support on multiple occasions about the same issue without satisfactory resolution. I have experienced similar disappointment when dealing with my personal symantec product.
It seems to me that Symantec has grown a little to large for their own good. They seem to have forgotten they are in part a service company. As a consumer and technology user I rely on them being ethical about the functions of their product and the things they say about other software products. Review the article listed below posted on Spybots’ homepage. I encourage everyone to send a message to both the symantec individuals listed in the article. Please do not resort to spam or other un-ethical responses, but Symantec needs to understand that this behavior is not acceptable.

Wine Inventory Tool
Posted by Administrator on Jan 8, 2006
Recently I have been using Cellar Tracker, which is an online wine inventory tool. Overall, I am very pleased with this tool. One of the best things about this tool is that it is free. They do however, prominately request donations. That seems fair though for a rather useful and well written tool.
Some things do not seem to be yet implemented (or at least not entirely) community fetures (public sharing of cellar data), integration into E-Robert Parker and more. It does however, currently include some level of barcode support; though I have not used that yet.
One improvement I would like to see made is with how storage locations are managed. I enjoy the freeform nature of the storage locations; however, I would prefer to have an interface just for managing storage locations and place location and bin limits to force accurate inventory records.
Google Maps Now in High Res

Google Maps is now providing high reselution images. Maps are getting so amazing. The imagery seems current in many if not all major metro areas. In Minneapolis, building are easily identifiable. The site performance does not seem to have been effected. I don’t know how google manages to keep doing things like this, but I am definately a fan.
Mac OS on PSP

This is pretty neat. It is hard to watch with the PSP bouncing around a little. Though it is a neat thing to see, who cares! Who has that kind of time? What does it get you? It is still a terrible interface for any computer operating system.
