Hello Everyone, 

I am sure that many of you have already heard about the latest application from Google called Mail Goggles as its announcement is spreading across the Internet like wildfire. 

Nevertheless, if there are some who have as yet not heard of it, Google Mail Goggles is a beta feature you can enable on your G-Mail account that will keep you from sending messages that you would otherwise not send, were you sober.  (more…)

EP: The Man Who Asked for Yesterday

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you like this approximately 52 minute episode of the 1970’s CBS Radio Mystery Theater program.

This episode, entitled “The Man Who Asked for Yesterday” is, without a doubt, one of my most favorite in the series.

I decided to publish it here as a Candle Shore Podcast because the subject of this episode is particularly relevant to those of us who sometimes blame the proverbial stars instead of ourselves for the seemingly endless turbulence we encounter in the  beautiful deep blue ocean that is life.

Listen to this episode either on your computer, MP3 player or, as I do, on your mobile phone and always remember. 

Enjoy,

A Quick Tip to the Visually Impaired Using Windows Mobile 6.1 for the First Time

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Hello Everyone,

Even though I know it’s a bit confusing at first, you will soon discover that the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 is well worth any learning curve.

One of the more significant changes to Windows Mobile 6.1 that I want to bring to the attention of those who are visually impaired is that, unlike the previous version, in Windows Mobile 6.1, a recently used program grid appears when the Left Soft key is tapped from the Home/Today screen.  Consequently, in order to display the Windows Start Menu, you must tap the Left Soft key a second time.  I recommend that visually impaired people disable this feature as doing so will once again cause the Left Soft key to immediately display the Start Menu when tapped from the Home/Today screen. 

To disable the most recently used program grid:  (more…)

That’s What Friends Are For

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Dearest,

You are more than welcome for this little token of my effection.

You know, so often during the course of a day, week, month, year, etc, one can forget her value in life.  As one deals with the day-to-day trials and tribulations of both work and family, it is so easy to forget that she is someone special and, as such, touches the lives of so many in very extraordinary and wonderful ways.  (more…)

FROM CLAIRE (Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008)

No offense here, but since I’ve been on this Code Factory mailing list, I’ve seen several posts of what I’d consider to be a negative spin in regard to Mark’s postings. 

If this is true, and I’m in fact reading this correctly, then let me simply ask, “Why?”  (more…)
