I'm not 100% how this works, cause I don't watch a tonne of Oprah, but I guess she can explain stuff...

If you don't know what RSS or a Feed is, I strongly recommend that you take a look at this article.  RSS is a great tool.

Scott Hannselman finally announced that the new DasBlog 1.9 has finally be released.  This blog runs on DasBlog and I've just finished the upgrade to 1.9 from 1.7.  The upgrade process was more or less painless and everything seems to be running well so far.  If anyone runs into a problem let me know. 

Also moved my feeds over to FeedBurner, that should be seamless.  Check out my next post if you don't know what a feed or RSS is.

I blogged about how much I love Gmail shortcuts the other day, well here is a great little reference sheet of the available shortcuts.  Printable version available as well.

I do a fair bit of Tech Support for my family, their friends, and my friends.  However lately I've instituted a 'no house calls' rule for almost all of them.  They bring the machine to me, and I'll slowly get around to looking at it.  Or we can do it over the phone... yes I'm that lazy.  However, now I've found this unbelievable tool, send them the file, one click and I'm on their machine with full control.  No need to worry about routers and configuration, they just need an internet connection and the ability to use a mouse.  It is all based on VNC, which if you haven't heard of, and have ever wanted to access your machine remotely, check it out.

Well the summer is over, and it was a fairly light for me and Steph as far as weddings go.  It helps that Steph took off for a month to Italy.  We had a nice wedding out in Mississaugua right after she got back, food there was amazing, best quantity and quality food I've ever had at a wedding. 

Then there was the big wedding of the summer, the Runham wedding.  The day actually started out pretty horribly, a bunch of us were supposed to be golfing at Rock Chapel and I left my house in plenty of time.  However if the whole day went smoothly I would have felt cheated.  I got on the 403 and it took me 45 minutes to get from Waterdown road to Highway 6, a stretch that should have taken 5.

Thankfully everything went smoothly after that, a nice ceremony and an amazing reception.  I don't think they will use me as an example in the 'How to be the best Best Man' book, but I did come through with a bottle of Tequila when the bar didn't have any.  There are a tonne of great pictures from the wedding, and as a side note, I think that I've got just about everyone using PicasaWeb now.
