I thought a bomb was dropped the other day when Adobe acquired the technology assets of Pixmantec, the makers of the popular RAW…

    Title says it all. We’ve been using several bug trackers at the office, including Bugzilla and Jira. With all the things happening in my life, I need to get a better system to track tasks. Maybe I’ll have to get a copy of Alex’s TasksPro installed.

    When I bought the Quad, the only video option around was the entry-level card, the Nvidia GeForce 6600. The 7800GT was a BTO and would have taken an additional month or two to arrive. Had I known how dog slow the 6600 would be with applications that rely so heavily…
