The tech cycle of failure and rebirth
2009-08-09 02:51:00 This year has been especially rough for gadgets and tech in general. Murphy's Law has struck not once, not twice, but a number of times and I put it all down to a cycle of life that everything follows. I lost most of my equipment to power damage a couple of months ago. More recently, I let out my anger and frustrations on the laptop for the last time. Right after doing an SR (long story, but to cut it short, it means bringing one's fist down very hard) on the keyboard, the drive made a click and I witnessed my work grind to a complete halt. I usually keep enough backups to minimize disruption or downtime, but I was already running in degraded mode with the PC knocked out of service. I had only a couple hours to be fully functional and get back online so I took the fast, but expensive route and got a new power supply, LCD and video card for the PC. Was back to work in a couple of hours, but it cost me and also taught me some cruel lessons. There is certain data that you usually ...

Mashups and Single Points of Failure
2009-06-25 01:05:00 Mashups are great, but the more components are integrated into a single mashup, the more single points of failure are created along the way. I experienced this recently with the piping of my blog feeds to Twitter. Blogs were written using WordPress, syndicated through FeedBurner (now owned by Google), harvested by TwitterFeed, and re-syndicated to Twitter. Somewhere in the process, delays would be created, one day long for posts on IT|Redux, and over a week long for posts on ghalimi.name. Since I control both the source (my WordPress account) and the target (my Twitter account), there wasn't much need for FeedBurner in the middle, so I recently got rid of it. Let's see if this fixes the problem.

Campagnolo 11 Speed Chain Failure
2009-06-19 06:01:00 Now if you don't use the Campy recommended, "200 dollar" chain tool to hook up your 11 speed chain, it will break. If not now, at some point. Because of the smaller tolerances and a special peening procedure involved, your conventional tool will not be able to seat the union bushing into the links properly. It will bend out and take the paper thin link along with it. Only the mighty Campy tool can properly do the following while crapping in your wallet :a) Support the left end of the link by clamping it while pushing the union bushing in adequately with a conical pusher.b) Split the protruding end by a special hole provided in the tool. c) Lock the bushing in the link ("locking the link"). Trust me, this is the Cadillac of chain tools. Your grandpa's tool just won't cut it.Now I myself thought I could somehow get away without 'following the rules'. Oh no. Didn't work. The following chain failure happened to me while climbing a long hill. I asked my local bike shop to equip th...

Palm Pre's Upcoming Failure (And How They Can Avoid It)
2009-05-13 20:12:00 Unless you are apart of the alternate reality know as the geek-a-sphere, then you probably have not heard about the upcoming Palm Pre, exclusive to Sprint. While this device rivals the iPhone in several ways (one of them being multitasking), this device is doomed to fail--although through no fault of it's own (with one exception). Dude, where's my App?After being inspired by jailbreaking hackers, Apple launched an app store which everyone from Google Android to Blackberry copied. To my knowledge, Apple has over 30,000 apps while Android has a few thousand (note: I have no clue what Blackberry's numbers are). If Palm Pre launches without some App momentum behind them, they may not attract many users because their too busy coveting Stanza, Ocarina or Joost which are on the iPhone (but may not be elsewhere). Solution: Palm Pre needs to entice the iPhone developer community in order to attract the masses by the thousands.With many iDevelopers in an uproar against Apple over a delay ...

Was CPAC An Epic Failure?
2009-03-01 23:08:00 I say yes because from what I have seen there was hardly a mention of the stealth jihad being waged in America. CPAC had virtually no Anti-jihad speakers. No Spencer. No Wilders. No Bostom. The best probably had to be John Bolton. Apparently I am not the only one to notice. Patrick Poole over at Pajamas Media took notice as well:The fact of the matter is that before the 2006 elections, just a little over two years ago, Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. It isn?t entirely clear that the GOP leadership is even aware that the situation has changed, let alone that they are personally responsible for it.It is interesting that Ronald Reagan?s name was constantly being invoked by CPAC speakers. I?m old enough to remember the 1976 and 1980 elections, and Ronald Reagan was the conservative outsider, not a GOP insider. His strength came from the power of his ideas, which frequently were at odds with the dominant Gerald R. Ford/Nelson Rockefeller wing of the GO...

Kyle-Anne Shiver, American Thinker,  doesn’t quite agree.  Kyle-Anne does not see Barack Obama so much as merely a failed President, Kyle-Anne sees Obama as a failed Person: What happens when everything that can go wrong in a person’s character formation does go wrong, and that person continues to be promoted to his level of incompetence?

How To Eliminate Weight Loss Failure By Lifting Weights: The Secret Everyon
2009-01-27 08:07:00 How To Eliminate Weight Loss Failure By Lifting Weights: The Secret Everyone Ignores was written by Nathan Latvitis from weight-loss-resources.comMany times, when one begins a new fat loss regime; they focus on dieting (hopefully intelligent dieting, not fad diets or very low calorie diets) and hopefully an exercise regime. Most of the time, to accomplish fat loss, people seem to believe that aerobic (aka. cardio) training in addition to a moderate reduction in calories is the best course of action to accomplish this. The main goal is to create a caloric deficit through these methods so that the body must use fat stores to make up for the deficit, therefore accomplishing fat loss. However, many times people run into a plateau that is caused by the lowering of the metabolism due to muscle loss because of the new diet and exercise regime. This lowering of the metabolism is known as the starvation response. You've experienced this if you've ever tried to lose fat before and eventuall...
