Just had this pop up for the first time. I had heard of it coming, but not tried it yet. I guess it is a good thing. Of course, you have to trust that Google will be good, since they still know everything about your searches. SSL Search : Features – Web Search Help.

I spent some time in my old game code tonight, hunting down bugs in established code rather than learning how to make bugs of a whole new variety. It was a bit disheartening. At the core, I still believe in my game. I think it is a lot of fun to play and will...

After many years as a staunch defender of Firefox, I have found myself using Safari as my primary browser for the last 2-3 months. I have several reasons for this… First, trust. Firefox lost my trust by wiping my entire bookmark library twice in 2 weeks. I’m not a heavy bookmark user, but the...

The in-game stats tell me I am about 20% of the way through Dragon Age, and I have spent almost 30 hours getting there. On the plus side, I am loving this game. Absolutely the best RPG I have played since Knights of the Old Republic. (That said, I don’t play much, so maybe...

Ahh, how I love the sweet forward march of technology. On the bad side, my sister’s laptop died 3 months in, and since it is very used and about 4 years old, there’s no warranty on it. The good side, its just a bad hard drive. 20 minutes after opening the mailing box I...

In light of Apple’s recent tightening of code requirements for mobile devices, I’ve decided to finally crack down and learn a real programming language. Go ahead, call me a Mac drone or whatever. The point is that as much as I enjoy coding in RunRev, and will continue to do so for many months...
