The Joys of Traveling for Work
Traveling for work is always an interesting experience. A lot of questions flash through my mind before I leave. Will my kids be good for my wife while I’m gone? Will my flights leave on time? Will I run in to yet another incredible jerk on the plane that thinks he deserves something more than…

Safari Has A New Trick
I have been playing with Safari 3 on Mac OS X Tiger and Windows XP lately to see how it compares to Firefox. Safari 3 definitely launches faster than Firefox on both my Mac and PC, and it also seems to render pages faster. The RSS reader is still one of the best I have…

Hello from London
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been in London for the last week, and I haven’t had a reliable Internet connection from the hotel. I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know Probstisms will be back to its normal schedule very soon. Cheers

Still No IMAP Love!
Last Wednesday, Google announced the long awaited availability of IMAP for Gmail. Gmail has had POP access for quite some time, but POP just doesn’t cut it when you want to access your email from more than one device. Now, I know some of you are thinking I should just access Gmail over the web,…
