Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
I flew to San Francisco on Thursday, May 1, 2014 to do a presentation for a conference. Keynote is my preferred platform for presentation. As a rule of thumb, I always use my own MacBook Pro. In addition to that I always bring the DisplayPort to VGA and DVI Adapters.
I have a few more presentations scheduled in the month of May. I know I’ll be keeping these adapters in my bag at all time.

I have been getting a lot of phone calls that Office 365 is having trouble with activation. According to users, their copy of Office 365 was previously activated.
This is especially annoying because they actually paid for the subscriptions.

Be forewarned before installing any beta/preview release software. There tends to be some show-stopping bugs.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings may really hate the peering deal he signed with Comcast, but that didn’t stop him from entering a similar partnership with another ISP: Verizon and Netflix have also agreed on a paid peering relationship.
News of that pact was first broken Monday afternoon on by BTIG Research’s Walter Piecyk, who tweeted Monday afternoon that Verizon CEO Lowell C. McAdam had confirmed the commercial relationship between the two companies.
As a customer of both Netflix and Verizon I should welcome this. As a technologist, I am not so sure if this is a good thing in the long run for consumers in general.
There are more dominoes to fall following Netflix deal with Comcast and Verizon. It would affect more companies other than Netflix and ultimately consumers.

From MontyPythonLive.com:

“Thanks to the wonderful invention of moving pictures, The Last Night of Monty Python is coming to a cinema near you. Get your knotted handkerchiefs out and warm your brains one last time at any one of 450 cinemas across the UK, and 1500 across the world. Join the crowd live from London’s O2 in a final weepy, hilarious, uproarious, outrageous, farewell to the five remaining Pythons as they head for The Old Jokes Home …. On the big screen, in HD.” The Pythons
I watched Monty Python’s Flying Circus on rerun back in the 80’s. Apparently I was not old enough to really understand the jokes back then. In the late 90’s I rediscovered them and actually collected all the episodes on DVDs.
