I want my 4:3!

June 13th, 2008

 

Lenovo has officially discontinued 4:3 screen aspect ratios in their T series line of laptops leaving the only 4:3 option in their X series of laptops.  They aren’t the only manufacturer do this.  HP, Sony and Apple have completely phased out 4:3 in all their laptop lines. 

I find this pretty ridiculous considering the Lenovo T Series is a BUSINESS class laptop for BUSINESS use.  My TV being wide screen make sense, I watch Movies and HD content which are in 16:9 format not 4:3.  But why in the world do I need my BUSINESS laptop to be wide screen?  I don’t watch movies at work!  I look at spreadsheets, read email and documents. All of these things work better in a 4:3 format.   Is everyone suppose to start printing their word documents in landscape format?

Bottom line you get less real estate with the wide-screens that manufacturers are using to replace their 4:3 predecessors.  Here’s an example taken from Lenovo’s XGA screen guide:

SXGA+: Super eXtended Graphics Array Plus
Resolution: 1400×1050 = 1,470,000 total pixels

WXGA+: Widescreen Extended Graphics Array Plus
Resolution: 1440×900 = 1,296,000 total pixels

That’s 174,000 less pixels for your productivity applications to take advantage of. But hey, now you have an excuse to slough off at work and watch your DVDs since now they actually look good!

I want my 4:3!

Drew is Born!

November 21st, 2007

DSC04039On Sunday November 18th at 6:23 AM Andrew Stafford Bollinger was born weighing 7lbs 6oz.  Besides being a little early, everything went as planned and both Lisa and Drew are doing great.  Carter wasn’t too sure of the whole brother thing at first, but he’s been slowly warming up to the idea :)

Facebook Remembers Me

October 20th, 2007

The folks at Facebook must have read my earlier post griping about their lack of an auto-login feature.  Details below:

Now you can stay logged in to Facebook.

Check the “Remember Me” box when you log in from your personal computer, and stay logged in to Facebook for as long as you want.

Yesssssss.

Utility Pole Gazing

September 10th, 2007

Since I was a kid I’ve always been interested in how things work.  One particular interest of mine, strange I know, is how utility networks work.  My wife thinks I’m strange, but I often stare at telephone poles trying “figure out” what each of the components are used for, transformers, phase monitors, CATV nodes, etc…  I’ve even done research on how city sewer systems work :)  Ever wonder how your sewer waste gets to the treatment plant when your down hill from the waste water treatment plant?  A lift station of course!

I just think it’s amazing how expansive and complex these transmission networks are and yet their seemly so simple and reliable to us consumers.  I received an email today about a conference in St. Louis in September called “Introduction to Electric Utility Systems for Non-Engineers“.  Looks pretty sweet.  If I had an extra week of vacation and $2000 to spend I’d be there :)

On a somewhat related note, check out this company who does maintenance work on high voltage lines with a helicopter.  They even have a few videos.  Crazy stuff.

Charter Communications Debacle

August 12th, 2007

<rant>

About two weeks ago I started the saga with Charter to schedule the transfer of service from our existing home to our new home we’re moving into to.  A complete Debacle.  I’ve called 8 times now, been transferred about 20 times between departments, been cut off twice, and given out my information about 50 times.  Some reps can’t find my current address, most can’t find my new address, a few have told me I can’t transfer my phone number between houses since they are in two different billing systems.  Finally tonight they called me back and left me a message that they have the transfer scheduled, but… my exact same phone service will be $12 more a month at the new address.  Say what?  So if I stay put at my current house, it’s the same price, move across town and it’s 12 bucks more?   

Charter is clearly dropping the ball with their customer service. 

Why do I need to numerically enter my phone number right away and then the first question I am asked by every step in the process is tell me your phone number?  I even had one guy ask me 3 different times in a 5 min span what my home phone number was.  I just gave you my damn phone number!

One of the reps I talked to tried to up-sell me to a new package that was the same price.  I asked him what type of agreement I would have to sign and he apparently spoke so little English that he didn’t know what the word agreement meant. 

I am seriously considering other options for my phone, TV and Internet at this point.  Problem is there aren’t that many great alternatives now in the St. Cloud area after Charter bought Astound.  For Internet I either need to use Satellite or DSL, which are not as fast or cheap as cable broadband.  For phone, I basically have one option, Qwest.  I don’t know what the St. Cloud City Council was thinking when they approved this merger.  Sure people have other option for TV, but for true broadband Internet, there are few alternatives that I believe are as reliable as cable delivered broadband. Now we have one big lame company company controlling the local cable market with little incentive to improve their service.

The Facebook Merman

August 11th, 2007

Image:Merman.jpgUpdated my Facebook status tonight (important, I know) and all of sudden my status is a block of PHP code.  What’s even more interesting is a few of the comments in the code:

// If this user has a Merman attached, then we are actually

// updating the Merman’s status if

WTF?  Apparently Facebook developers refer to users as Mermans.  Nice.

If you’d like to learn more about Mermans,  a group of Merman fans have created a wikipedia entry just for you!

Here’s the text:

Jeff is $PARAM_STRING, ‘clear’ => $PARAM_INT)); // Stupid magicquotes please go away $post_status = stripslashes($post_status); if (($post_status || $post_clear) && !check_form_user($user, true)) { print ‘Your session has timed out. Please log in to update your status.’; my_exit(); } // If this user has a Merman attached, then we are actually // updating the Merman’s status if (user_has_obj_attached($user)) { $user = operson_user_get_obj($user); } global $first_object; if ($post_clear) { mobile_set_status($user, ”); } else if ($post_status) { $error = mobile_set_status($user, $post_status); if (!$error) { $post_status = str_replace(array(”\r”, “\n”), ”, $post_status); $post_status = txt_set($post_status); $post_status = render_with_period($post_status); $post_status = render_wrapped($post_status, 14, ”, ‘ ‘); echo $post_status; } }

 

 

 

 

Vacation

August 10th, 2007

We’re back from our annual vacation to Westwood Beach Resort up in Brandon, MN.  Was a relaxing week filled with wakeboarding, cruising around in the boat, eating way too much, chasing around Carter, and just being lazy.

Managed to get in a round of golf with my dad and ended up with this blog worthy photo.  Chip shot into a tree and the ball just stuck there.  Not knowing the exact rules I ended up taking a drop next to the tree with no penalty shot.  Turns out I should have either hit it as is in the tree or dropped with a penalty shot.  O’ well, next time I get it stuck in a tree I’ll be climbing it. :)
