Work on the house is nearing completion. 4 rooms are now ready to go and I hope to have 2 more rooms completed by Saturday night. This leaves 1 room left to complete before we move in, which is now scheduled for Thursday, January 24. If I stay on track, I'll have the final room completed on Monday. New carpet on the stairs will be installed on Tuesday. And we clean, clean, clean on Wednesday to get up all the dust and dirt from the floors.Thanks to all who have helped over the last few weeks, Brooke, Josh, Darren (major thanks to Darren), Dana, and especially Zack, the little helper in the picture. posted by Kirby | January 18 07:19 PM | comments (0)
I would like to express my sincere apologies to the customers of White Peak Software, especially those who are waiting for features to be added to Killink CSV. My life has been turned upside down, in a good way, over the last 3 months. My wife and I are expecting a new baby at the end of March and we recently bought a house, our first house, which unfortunately needed work before we could move in.
The good news is we will be in the new house by next Thursday and life will return to normal, or as normal as one can expect with a new baby coming soon. The other good news is that I'm planning to release the next version of Killink CSV soon. This next version release should have many of the recently requested features including sorting and Unicode support. An update to SMTP Diagnostics is coming soon too.
So again I apologize to the customers of White Peak Software and I appreciate your patience over the last few months. posted by Kirby | January 18 02:31 PM | comments (1)

Tuesday, January 08, 2008 This spoof from MadTv is too funny especially if you are one of those individuals who keeps buying a new iPod each year. Me? I'm happy with my oversized, first-generation iPod Classic which is incompatible with almost things iPod these days.

Wednesday, January 02, 2008 I have been a Mac OS X users for 6 months now and I love it. It is doubtful I will ever return to a Windows only machine so I thought it fitting to list the OS X software I use regularly.
- Mail.app, which comes with OS X, is a powerful email program that allows me to manage the many, many mail messages I receive daily.
- iCal is another handy program that comes with OS X. iCal allows me to manage multiple calendars.
- Spanning Sync synchronizes my iCal calendars with Google Calendars.
- Address Book, also free with OS X, is a nice address book manager.
- Fusion by VMware is the one piece of software that convinced me to try OS X. While I love OS X I still must use Windows on a daily basis. Fusions allows me to run Windows hosted as a virtual machine within OS X.
- Firefox is my preferred web browser. Safari is nice and I use it from time to time. But Firefox is the browser I use most often.
- Adium is a friendly chat program supporting AOL, Yahoo, Messenger, Google Talk, and who knows what else. I like iChat, which comes with OS X, but I don't use it often due to its lacking support for IM services such as Messenger.
- iPhoto is my favorite application in the iLife suite. I enjoy taking pictures and I currently use iPhoto to manage all my digital pictures, a collection that is quickly approaching 7,000 pictures.
- iLife '08 is another reason I decided to switch to the Mac. Making movies, burning DVDs, and managing my digital photos was never this easy in the Windows world.
- CoRD is a remote desktop client. I use it often to RDP into other Windows machines on my network.
- VLC is a freeware media player.
- Unison is a nice newsgroup reader. I prefer the user interface from Agent but it is not available for OS X.
- Vienna is an open source RSS feed reader.
- SuperDuper is my preferred backup software. Easy to use, and powerful enough to make the types of backups I want.
