Don't hate me because my clock is backwards.
2008-06-06 16:34:00 Everyone hates my favorite wall clock. Everyone. Just because it's backwards. Literally so, in this case; it's one of those clocks that works backwards, to that the numbers go from 12 at the top to 1 just to it's left, then 2, working their way around the opposite direction. It's a backwards clock; it's a counterclock. And I love it, but everyone hates it because they say they can't tell time on it and it confuses them and they get used to it and then can't use regular clocks.Who knew that wall clocks could inspire that kind of passion? Still, now that I'm getting a little older and more mature, maybe it's time to update my home decorations with some new wall clocks. This is the perefect time to do this, because with the clocks I can get from 1-800-4Clocks, and the advice I can get on clocks from their blog -- advice like how to use a clock to brighten up a room and change the style of that room -- I can save some money and get a great new addition to our decorating scheme....

Windows 7 backwards compatibility

CDs take a step backwards as 45RPM records

A guy named Aleks Kolkowski was at the UK’s Futuresonic festival last week and he brought his vintage record-cutting machine to carve sound tracks into old CDs and DVDs. All people needed to do was ...

Heaven Backwards
2008-05-02 03:51:00 No fingers, mouths, tongues, lungs, secret crevices or racing, pounding, breaking hearts. After their momentary passion at the airport, Walter kept a careful distance for an hour. But once she had unpacked, once Evie and DeeDee decided the water was too cold for swimming, Walter suggested an afternoon hike. Amanda sank back into the wooden porch chair and covered her face. Walter stepped in front of her, ready to explain why they couldn’t be lovers, if she wanted an explanation. [Click here to read the first episode, or here to read the previous one.] That’s how certain he was. Shy, lonely Walter could talk about anything with her. That’s how much he loved her. And sex, she could hear him telling her, with its thrill and thrall, came and went. If Walter and Amanda forgot who they were, if they pretended no father-daughter attachment, they would betray themselves and each other. She knew that. She knew how destructive her desire was. He gently shook her wr...

Reading Your Life Backwards
2008-04-07 21:10:00 Allow me to state something that is very obvious. You are reading this from left to right. What might not be obvious is that, if it were written in Hebrew, you would be reading it from right to left. Books published in English are read from front to back. Books written in Hebrew are exactly the opposite–you read them from back to front. I bring that up for a reason. Thomas Watson, the old Puritan sage, once said that “Some providences of God, like Hebrew letters, are best understood backwards.” Many times in life we find ourselves not understanding why God has permitted us to be in a hard place or in difficult circumstances. But if you wait a few years, and then read your life backwards, you can often see His good purposes. (Steve Farrar)

Windows 7 Not Backwards Compatable?
2008-04-07 05:40:00 Leigh looks over at fellow consultant Pete M., “if this is true, buddy, we’re going to be RICH! RICH beyond our wildest dreams…” Fake Steve, in a recent story, referred to an article by Dev Corvin, which was breaking news about the forthcoming Windows 7 (which has moved its ship date up to 2009 as a result of the spectacular results Vista has demonstrated in the market…). Found amid the usual Windows blah-blah-blah, which I suffer through so you don’t have to, was this tasty quote: Dev Corvin, thebetaguy.com : Windows 7 takes a different approach to the componentization and backwards compatibility issues; in short, it doesn’t think about them at all. Windows 7 will be a from-the-ground-up packaging of the Windows codebase; partially source, but not binary compatible with previous versions of Windows. Now I didn’t just take FSJ and this Dev guy’s word for it, I employed minimalist “journalistic” research and ...

Widgets Take a Big Leap Backwards in WordPress 2.5
2008-04-06 20:37:00 WordPress 2.5 did give us some useful improvements, however I feel that the widgets became much harder to use, and I think most people would agree with me. This screen shows the way widgets used to . All you need to do is select the widget and move it across any available sidebars to arrange them, or simple drop it back into the placeholder at the bottom to remove the widget from your blog. Pretty simple to understand, fun to use. But with WordPress 2.5 this becomes a 3-step process which is not only confusing, it’s also much harder and no fun at all. Gone is the “drag and drop” function and honestly I don’t see the reason to change what is not broken. Now you have to first (1) select the sidebar you want to edit (2) add the available widgets to the sidebar and only then can you (3) move and rearrange the widgets.

Yes, I'm some kind of freakish abnormality. Now, I'm sure this is supposed to be alarming, and maybe it would be.

I Hate Windows Vista-Backwards Compatibility Problems
2008-03-04 21:15:00 So what do I have against Windows Vista this month? Well, this month, I will be talking about something that many XP to Vista PC users have encountered as well; backwards compatibility problems. The compatibility problem is a lot more serious than you can imagine. For example, last weekend, my mother tried to do her taxes with the famous tax program, Tubro Tax. Everything went find, until the following message appears on screen “Windows has encountered a problem with Tubro Tax and needs to shut down”. Because this, my mom lost all her tax data and needed to start the whole filing taxes process all over again! Sadly enough, the program did this the second time, but luckily for my mom, she saved all her data. Now, before you say “Well stop complaining and get one compatible with it!”, I’m going to say this; “There aren’t any!”. The Deluxe edition of Tubro Tax only goes up to Windows XP, and don’t get me started on the “compatibility” feature in Vista. Maybe if M...

Going Backwards in Cryptic Crosswords
2008-02-17 15:48:00 There will be plenty of times in doing cryptic crosswords when you think you re going backwards, especially when you re a beginner, but that s not the sort of going backwards I m going to talk about here. Mind you if you pick up on what I ll try to get across, it should help you stop such a slide. In most cryptic crossword clues there are three sorts of words: ANSWER words which give an indication of the answer the setter is looking for CLUE words which are words used to obtain the answer INDICATOR words that give an indication of how you should use the CLUE words to get the ANSWER As a quick refresher let s look at how this all works before we get into the going backwards stuff RE-CAP EXAMPLE: “Diane s business has a small part in this unwelcome change (13)” The word this falls into the category of an INDICATOR word because it s nearly always a dead giveaway when it comes to finding ANSWER words - they usually follow immediately after it, so in this case we re loo...

Backwards compatibility to come back on PS3?
2008-02-16 04:15:00 Rogue Galaxy for PS2, by Level 5 Inserito originariamente da Abriael One of my biggest gripes about the policy adopted by Sony for the PS3, has been the removal of backwards compatibility from the newest versions of the console. While I doubt it really lowered the console's production cost (passage from hardware emulation to software emulation sure did, but the removal of software emulation? i'm not that sure...), it significantly lowered the console's overall value (wich is of course still quite great, but the more the better), effectively barring it's users from access to a titles' library made by hundreds of pretty awesome games. A library that Sony's competitors couldn't effectiely compete with, i might add. Some might say that one can still play them on a PS2 (maybe on the upcoming new model), but anyone that owns an HD LCD TV knows how bad old-gen games look on such panels without the upscaling done by the older model PS3s. Well, it seems not all hope is lost. Eric L...

Are The Saudi's This Backwards In Thinking?
2008-02-15 23:10:00 Human Rights Watch called on the Saudi king Thursday to void the conviction of a woman facing execution for witchcraft. Several witnesses claimed that Falih had bewitched them, including one man who said she had made him impotent. In court, Falih said that she was beaten repeatedly during 35 days of detention by the Saudi religious police. I know I shouldn't be surprised with how the Saudi court system works, but there's actually people, who testify in court, that a woman bewitched them and THAT'S why he's impotent? I mean I'd be impotent too if all I had to look at for women was this: I know my dick wouldn't want to get up if all I had to look forward to was sweaty women in outfits like that. This is the kind of women I like to look at: Now you tell me, which would you rather look at? Travis travis@rightwinglunatic.com
PS2 backwards compatibility not dead yet - SendMeRSS
2008-02-14 14:42:00 PS2 backwards compatibility not dead yetFiled under: Rumors, PlayStation NetworkGamers disappointed with the PS3's backwards compatibility (or the lack thereof) might find interest in reading the latest issue of EGM. In the mag, an interview with SCEA senior marketing VP Peter Dille and director of PSN operations Eric Lempel hints that PS2 backwards compatibility isn't completely down and out. When asked about the lack of bc support possibly crossing out chances of ever having downloadable PS2 games via the PSN, Lempel answered back with "there are possibilities through technology and software emulation to make that happen." Lempel refused to talk about any specific plans, but hasn't flat-out denied that it isn't something being worked on. On another note, Peter Dille states that PS2 backwards compatibility is still important to Sony. He reconfirms what we already know, that the removal of PS2 backwards compatibility helped lower the overall price of the PS3. However, consider ...

Character Molding - Backwards Philosophy Insight
2008-02-08 04:14:00 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Jeremiah 18:4 NIV I had just brought my pottery class friend to a saving knowledge of Christ the week before and, to inspire me, she hand-weaved an elegant ceramic breadbasket for me. "Read the inscription," she said, beaming with obvious satisfaction. What you ARE is God's gift to you; what you BECOME is your gift to God. It was a popular quote at the time, and meant to be encouraging. I was familiar with it, but it bugged me to distraction. It seemed such a little thing; but later, as I stared at the message, it dawned on me that while the message was meant to inspire me to be all I could be, it was contrary to scripture: it was backwards! What I was -- a self-centered traveler on the wrong road -- was my gift to God. When I came to Him all I could bring was my sinful nature and my past mistakes. Any efforts to be good enough w...

Being quite a classic moment on the long-running animated show, I thought to myself 'I'll just find it on YouTube.'Now, perhaps I was being naive, or perhaps I just haven't been keeping up on these things, but after a dozen or so fruitless searches and a little bit of research I became aware that not only has Fox managed to kibosh nearly all Simpsons segments on the veritable juggernaut of the video-clip online industry, but that it is now listed in the disclaimer of the site that all clips, no matter the length, are hereby banned.Bah?A fifteen second segment of an episode that can literally be found at any given minute in it's umpteenth rerun on television is copyright infringement?
