Automation Adventures

Instead of the top 5 of November and December, I think it’s a good idea to post the top 10 articles of 2008:

1. Kensington Bluetooth 2.0 under Windows Vista 64-bit
2. Blackberry Desktop crashes when reading Outlook calendar
3. Setting up MXP to run under Linux
4. Wow64: How to get the Progress Debugger to run in Vista 64-bit
5. iTunes 7.4 not properly installed
6. 100 Things people are really saying about Windows Vista
7. My first visit to the Apple Store
8. Ford Sync hands-on review
9. Blackberry not syncing with BES
10. New Apple products announced at Summer Press Conference (2007)

Interestingly enough, of this top 10, five articles are from 2007. The Kensington article accounted for 27.8% of all the page views.

Over 2008, we had 2,851 visitors, making 3,397 visits and viewing 4,808 pages. Thanks everyone, and see you again in 2009!

Well, it’s been a while on this blog. But with Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, a stomach virus and an insane workload at my day job, there was little time for blogging.

We’ve done some interesting things at work, we’re finally implementing some real web services for communicating between applications and even sister companies, we’re doing data mining, so lots of new things for me to pick up.

At home, things have been quite on the automation front. We did invest in a GPS device, to cut the Verizon Wireless bill by about $10 a month, and have some more options. Apart from that, I’ve installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on my main computer, and like it a lot (more about that in upcoming posts).

Anyways, I hope everybody had a great holiday season, Happy New Year to y’all and on to a more blog-ful 2009!
