I feel/am slow and old…

A couple of friends have been raving to me about Google Chrome. Being a big fan of FireFox (see my name in their ad! – misspelled but twice!) I was reluctant, but I finally started using it at home (can’t at work since we are still OS X 10.4.11. I know…) It already has firebug, [...]

Simple XML to HTML table using jQuery

I am sure there are better ways, but this is one way I found works, and thought I’d take a note myself. This blog post titled “Reading XML with jQuery” from think2loud.com tutorial with downloadable source code was super helpful. In fact now that I look at it, I am basically suing his work. Another [...]

Great tutorial on hide/show divs using jQuery

jQuery for designers have very good and simple step-by-step tutorial on how to show/hide divs using ids. It is a tutorial for tabs, but don’t have to use it as tabs. It’s nice. I used this technique to create a simple JavaScript driven “NFL Camp report” at my company (link to come when the project [...]

Being cheap doesn’t always save money…

I bought Dell ST2310 23 Inch Full HD Widescreen Monitor for $169.00. It is a pretty good monitor and I have to say I got a great deal on it (Market value is supposedly $229.99). But, I am not happy with it. No matter how I set my color/balance and calibration (from System Preferences -> [...]

Best iPhone App ever, if you commute by Bus in Boston – Open MBTA

Amazing. Recently, I wrote about how I was disappointed that I (stupidly) paid $0.99 for an app called Catch The Bus. That paid application only supports 5 MBTA bus lines. On that post, I got a comment that said “Hey Check out OpenMBTA mobile website.” The website was awesome. Once you get used to the [...]

Curious about internet using cellphone

I subscribe to very expensive data plan at T-mobile (Not that I am proud of that). I use T-Mobile Shadow. But I really felt that I was missing out on stuff. There has to be so much more I can do with the cellphone web. And, so, I started my own cellphone portal at daigo.mobi. [...]

Server setup

Just a running memo for myself, as I struggle to set up my ubuntu server… Crap. Server edition doesn’t have any GUI. I guess that is why it is called server edition. Doing install over with Desktop Edition. I just need SSH, LAMP environment and Samba. Mythbuntu has those already, but Ubuntu Desktop doesn’t seem [...]

  • Welcome…

    ...to Daigo’s Daily Digital Diorama. This is utterly useless online journal (yes, that was what it was originally called before term "blog") that I've been keeping since 2002. Since it is ".org," my wife once called it a nonprofit nonsense. I use this blog mostly about baseball, and being Japanese man in America. Wondering who the heck Daigo is?
