This is where Jason puts his stuff of personal interest.

30Dec Why I like DropBox (more) LAN updating!

Drop box just released an update to their utility that allow LAN Syncing. This means when I am on the same network as another computer that I have dropbox installed those computers will sync over the LAN rather than using the Internet and the website. The initial computer that I place a file on will [...]

28Dec Jailbroken again (at 3.1.2)

So I went ahead and jailbroke at 3.1.2. If you are not an iPhone user this means I upgraded to the latest firmware (I was at 3.01) and then jailbroke my phone so that I can install other applications. What is the big deal? Well it isn’t a big deal really since I used blackra1n.com [...]

23Dec Les Misérables

I do not claim to be very educated in the liberal arts and sciences, in fact I play down any education I may have picked up over the years in my BS and MBA or “reading” books as I do. I recently chanced upon a blog not unlike my own where the “author” was reviewing [...]

21Dec OpenDNS vs Google Public DNS

I started using Google Public DNS the day I found out about it from DLS here. I have used open dsn in the past and I use that as my default at home. Why use both? How? Why use both Open DNS does a lot of protection stuff. It protects my 8.75 year old from [...]

09Dec Sorting out Amazon Ads

So I have a few sites that use amazon ads for their mains source of revenue. http://rvgadgets.net is one and http://www.kidstoysquad.com is another. Now these sites are starting to pull in some noticeable income it has become apparent that I have not done a good job of using the correct amazon ads code. If you [...]

07Dec Why I like Wolfram Alpha

Wolfram Alpha is a pretty cool information engine created by the guy who wrote Mathmatica. Mathmatica is an application used by anyone doing any sort of mathmatics computations or calculations. You can express complex calculations using the application. He made lots of money selling the app. So if you type in Jason you will get [...]

02Dec Writing an iPhone app for kids? Need a review? I can do it.

So I started a website called http://KidsiPhoneAppReview.com and so far the response has been very good. I have found that there are a lot of developers out there that just need their app to be reviewed. You can pay a few sites to do it — I am told — but I do it for [...]
