A bat managed to sneak into my house last night as I was watching a zombie film. The bat experience was about a hundred times more frightening than the movie (2006 version of Night of the Living Dead). Here is some footage of the bat:

A bat expert is coming to remove the bats from my porch today, and I hope he comes soon. My porch is now covered in bat poo.

Ooops. Sucks for the Nationals that nobody caught this jersey mistake.

I just purchased the domain name www.articulateguru.com, and have that URL now directed to mozealous.com.  Might make it easier for people to remember my site as my name is hard to spell for some.

I like the articulateguru combination because it seems like that if you know a lot about a set of products, you have to get the “productname” + “guru” URL.  My friend Alan has the domain fireworksguru.com (big Adobe Fireworks advocate) and I also know someone owns flashguru.co.uk.

It might be bad timing switching to that domain name so soon after that aweful moving the Love Guru came out, so I hope that the content of this site does not get anyway confused with that movie.

Both URLs will still direct you here, so you can continue either coming here from www.mozealous.com, or you can use www.articulateguru.com.

It has been awhile since I have posted. Caught a bit of the flu about 2 weeks ago and I am still recovering.

First things first. Check out this auction going on at eBay right now for a Zombie Survival kit. A friend sent this to me a couple of days ago, the kit is now selling for $280. I soo wish I had this in my office, but at $280 it is a bit steep. But can you really place a price on protection from Zombies?

Also, congratulations to Gabe on winning the first Articulate Miles Challenge. Gabe ran over 95 miles during the 30 days of the challenge. We had some late comers to the contest who ended up doing rather well (Magnus and Robert).

We also just yesterday started the second Articulate Miles Challenge and now feature 5 Articulate employees in the challenge. See how everyone is doing below. Good luck everyone.

Today I went to purchase a tool called HTTP Analyzer from IE Inspector. It is a really great tool for looking behind the scenes when content is loading from a website.
Problem is that when I went to purchase the tool I was asked for the billing address of the credit card I was using. My corporate card is billed to New York. Check out the list of states I was presented with on the left. How easily can you find New York?
I wonder how many sales this costs them?

Isn’t it annoying when you accidentally click on a link to a PDF document? Then your system stalls for about 20 seconds as it tries to open Acrobat Reader?

I sure hope Adobe doesn’t do to the Flash Player what it did to Acrobat Reader.

How bad would it suck if it took as long to open a piece of Flash content as it does to open a piece of PDF content?
