I was trying to get a free iPod to use with my cochlear implant and learn to listen with it since circumstances don’t allow me to invest in gadgets these days (NO pity, please!). Besides, it is not like the company is giving them away. You earn it by getting people to sign up for [...]
I had been curious about the registry editor, or rather the two of them that came with Windows. Did a little research and learned a few interesting things. Read A Tale of Two Regeds.
I like getting my hands dirty especially with search engines. Read the meryl.net articles Web Search Garage review.

I’ve been using operators and special syntaxes [...]
Previously, I provided an overview of Windows Error Reporting. Someone wrote and said he never received resolutions to his problems when submitting an error report. I don’t know if this happened to him or not, but it may not be obvious that Microsoft is providing a possible solution. I got an error after writing this report [...]
May I ask a favor? I’ve been needing to establish a character for meryl.net, the business. Here are three examples. I’d love to hear your thoughts - just comment below. Example 1. Examples 2 and 3. Oh, and, if you think something could use tweaking or a little something — say the word. Update: Thank you, [...]
