I have been studying my Mac OS book today, along with doing some searching online for specifics I needed, and I even got an email from a peer’s son on how to overcome my frustration with the Mac’s lack of a right button.
I was in a generous mood, so I figured I’d share the ones [...]
Well, after buying a bunch of cool apps night before last, I’ve essentially decommissioned my iPhone. Not only does this “upgrade” make all my applications crash seconds after they attempt to launch…
I no longer have music, videos or audiobooks on my iphone! Yesterday and today (despite an all-night synch attempt) I have been stuck with [...]
I’ve been looking for a more attractive, easier-to-navigate layout for my WordPress sites recently, and I found a couple interesting resources to share:
Magazine Theme - a unique layout for a WP site with a cutting edge style and directions for customization by the designer.
SEO Themes - nearly 50 websites that have been SEO’ed by Court [...]
I had such high hopes for Apple’s “cloud.” I believed (I really did) that it would be the answer to my mobile dreams. For years I’ve searched for a way to get what I need quickly and easily from anywhere. I’ve tried sync programs, I’ve tried web apps. I’ve used a laptop, a Treo (or [...]
I’m loving the new iPhone apps. I love that many of the best ones are free.
Freebies Worth Gold
Pandora - Now I can have my Pandora tunes in my pocket! I only wish I could have them playing in the background while I did other things, like I can with the tunes on my iPhone through [...]
Ok, I should give credit to someone for this information — and I really WOULD if only I could remember where I found it originally.
The issue: HP 1020 printers have a known problem with Ubuntu and Kubuntu. It makes me crazy. Now back when I did my first Kubuntu system, I dug in (or begged [...]
I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on. [...]
Ok, I don’t know about you, but I think this is just creepy. I like my technology, but this brings to light all my upbringing during the age of Battlestar G and Terminator movies: Nexi on YouTube
I recently added a new hard drive to my little emachines T5230 (a low-cost, high value desktop that runs Kubuntu and Ubuntu like a CHARM).
The reason for the new drive? I have a client that still needs work done on Publisher (of all things) and I cannot find an appropriate substitute for Linux-based systems. I’ll [...]
I was reading about the latest type of mobile processor by Intel today and the writer, a Brian Caulfiled, wrote one of the funniest comparisons I’ve seen in awhile:
“An atom-powered device sounds powerful, even if one might hesitate to crack it open. By contrast, the Celeron sounded like a speedy vegetable.”
It’s been a long day, [...]
So, if I were to be independently wealthy … and if I were willing to wait until the second half of 2008 to get it … would this new surround-video, curved monitor from Alienware be configurable for a Linux system?
Go salivate for yourself here: http://video.techrepublic.com.com/2422-13791_11-183969.html
If you use Kubuntu and you want a command line string to easily backup the entire Linux system on an external hard drive (for regular backups as well as offsite backups), without encountering recursive errors, permission problems and other headaches, try using this TAR command from Konsole:
I’ve been following the LiveScribe Pen product since it was announced several months ago, and it occurs to me that this would be a great way for real estate agents to record meetings (and take notes) with both buyers and sellers.
How cool would it be to tap on your notes to “replay” the list of [...]
I was sent a great article today on the problems encountered by the development of multi-core processing chips (thanks, Pops!).
If you are interested in learning more about chips that are “smarter” and do more for you, if you are intrigued by the idea of hand-held mobile units that don’t need traditional keyboard and mouse inputs [...]
Negotiations, reported by the WSJ today, may make it possible to digitally “rent” FOX movies for play on your iPod for a limited period of time.
I, for one, could really go for something like that (if the price is right). It would save me the trouble of going out to rent a movie and would [...]
More cool blogs and useful websites for your viewing pleasure. Today’s selection is for those creative types who design and personalize their own websites and those who help others develop unique websites.
These sites offer tools, tips, tricks and even creative motivation for web workers. Feel free to share your own favorite sites!
I’m a control freak. This means that I like having my stuff in my possession. It also means that this new wave… this new push to put everything on “web-based” apps on someone else’s servers… makes me a little nervous.
On the flip side, having a hard drive crash makes me a LOT nervous. Redundant drives [...]
My father got an iPhone from my mother this year for his birthday (Happy B’day, Pops!) I can’t believe my non-geeky mother bought this piece of equipment. What’s even more unbelievable is that she likes it too and (methinks) wants one of her own! This, gentle reader, is the power of the iPhone… to convert [...]
I’ve been reading quite a bit lately about how to make sure websites are mobile-friendly and, in particular, how to make them iPhone friendly.
Sure, there are lots of mobile devices out there (and I’ve owned quite a few myself) but none have the kind of market saturation that is expected for the iPhone. So, as [...]
Yup! It’s being done. And there are new, more creative ways to get your ebooks all the time. I’ve been following some of the methods, but most leave you with tiny, ugly notepad typestyles.
Then I found this particular ebooks for iphone video, which gives a great overview of using the PDF download functionality alongside Safari [...]
