I had a need to get flash to play on a website recently. I took a look around and finally came up with JW FLV Player. So I took the dvd I needed to get on the web (it is a dvd showing the benefits of the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program) and applied handbrake [...]

I replaced my iPhone battery last month with no success. It turns out it was the seller that was the problem.
I ordered a new battery from Amazon: Maximal Power Battery with Change Tool Kit and Photo Instructions for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Silver)
Worked like a charm. Battery is taking a charge and came with 50% [...]

I finally got around to taking some of the old apps I wrote – practicing apps – to github.
My youngest daughter is just old enough to start using the colors and letters apps I wrote back in the day. These are VERY simple apps that ask the child to pick the right color or letter. [...]

I like to use KeePass on my laptop. I find it is an easy enough way to create random passwords and NOT remember them. The problem I have is that when I go to use that same website or app on my iPhone I need that random password. Typing that password on my iPhone is [...]

My iPhone lasts about 1 hour. There is nothing I can do to make it last longer. If it is charging when I am talking on it I can see the power drain.
I tried to purchase a new battery from ebay user ecell. I received the battery: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200363623970&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT.
I installed it using the instructions I found [...]

After reading the “Human’s guide to running Google OS” I was ready to give it a shot. I downloaded Virtual Box (again) and also downloaded The Virtual Machine from gdgt.
After that I loaded it up like and virtual hard drive and logged in with my google creds.
I was pleasantly surprised, but certainly underwhelmed. I [...]

FireFox users are a funny bunch. We think that we are more secure, and generally that the Mozilla foundation takes care of us better than Microsoft is willing to. For the most part this is true and what I am about to expose does not dispel that belief at all.
Do you use the Remember my [...]

I use TrueCrypt to encrypt on of my thumb drives that I store sensitive information on. Why? Because I can and I should.
It can be as simple as creating a TrueCrypt volume on a certain drive, which will look like a file or you can encrypt an entire volume. You can also encrypt a drive [...]

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 [...]

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 this time. [...]

I have a machine at home that I treat as a “server”. It does all of my torrent downloads, hosts all of my remote desktop sessions, it checks my devry email and forwards it to gmail, as well as converting anything I download to iPhone format. My intention was to make this machine a bit [...]

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 are [...]

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 [...]
