Trigger Happy

I've come to realize that I will never be able to please everyone. I can only be who I am and not the person everyone expects me to be. And who I am... is a very kind, very giving, very loving, very forward and at times a very dirrty minded, creative woman and nothing turns me on more than a very kind, gentle, dirrty minded, video game lovin', computer savvy geek;)

Five geeks I'm lovin at the moment are-

#1 Smurph "Mind if I defrag your hard drive?"

#2 Jay Baruchel "Every animal in God's creation is pooing in the jungle and its raining 12 times a day so theres just a good ol influx of fresh feces for us to enjoy"

#3 Valerie Poxleitner "I'm lights- a fairly small-sized, Canadian girl who makes Intergalactic-Electro music"

#4 Mila Kunis "Oh yeah, you gotta be in a guild...every 12 year old boy knows what I'm talking about"

#5 Seth Rogen "I just wanna have sex with that bag right now" - talking about his love for ketchup flavored potato chips

I can't resist. I have to post this...

Since my wife has joined the scene, we've decided to rename our blog and give it a bit more focus. She came up with the name "Trigger Happy" which we both liked but unfortunately, squaters are holding triggerhappy.com for a $70,000 ransom. Considering we'd have to take out a second mortgage (and then some) to snatch that domain, we decided to go with TriggerHappy.me for practically free in comparison.

So here we are at TriggerHappy.me!

Old links and feeds will still work so nothing needs to be done on your end unless you don't like seeing the old domain. Happy Fragging!

I'm not sure if I should be proud of this or not but I can do at least 80 of the skills listed in the article below...

I never thought I'd see the day. Google Apps is finally out of beta. But just in case removing the beta tag lessens its "cool" factor, you can re-enable the beta tag in the logo from the settings menu in Gmail.

Google may have a different view of "beta" software but I think its a wise route to go. Especially in Google's case where they're providing such feature rich online applications for free. Besides the obvious liability issues, they also gain some breathing room when it comes to implementing new features. If something doesn't work the first day they put it out, they can avoid a lot of flack by saying its in beta. While that might seem like a cop-out, it allows them to test with a huge volume right off the bat to eliminate scaling and compatibility issues. Its not always ideal for the end users but that's something you just have to weigh against its obvious benefits as well as against its competitors. Personally, I haven't had any major issues with any of the Google Apps and they are extremely handy.

The only reason I regret to see Google Apps leave beta is that it may slow the rate that they implement new features. The Labs features will remain but they certainly won't be moving features into the mainstream as fast as they have in the past. Of course that's just my speculation, but taking the beta tag off usually implies they'll keep the products stable and will try their hardest to avoid introducing new bugs. That means they'll have a more careful and slower development cycle.
