General IT stuff
It’s a weird matrix of decisions points but I’ve boiled it down to this. My girlfriend has what I call a Verizion POS (piece o’ ….). She says it works fine but I don’t think she gets it. She didn’t have an iPad and didn’t want one. I got her one as a gift and […]
I stopped by the Apple store today for lunch and found myself plugging away on an 11″ MacBook Air. I have to say overall I’m generally impressed by what I saw. The size of it and how you can set it in your lap and type away is really impressive. The fact that it doesn’t […]
Back around 1995 and through about 2001 I used to love Borders Books. The thing that made Borders unique to me was their broad selection of IT books. I mean there were literally like 6 aisles of books and it covered everything. If I needed a book, Borders was where to get it. The part […]
I’ve blown a few hours here trying to figure out how to bind some older 10.3 clients to my 10.6 server. The problem with manuals is that a 10.3 manual assumes you are going from 10.3 to 10.3. A 10.6 manual will do the same except it is for 10.6. Every manual and note talks […]
Splashtop is a remote control, think VNC, utility for PCs and Macs. It doesnt use VNC or Remote Desktop. You goto there website and download a streaming utility for your desktop. Once installed you can start the utility on your desktop and set some pretty standard settings. I didnt need any manual for this. On […]
Earlier this year I purchased a Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard Server. I did this so I could set up shared calendars with my family, facilitate wireless Time Machine Backups, host a local update repository, and enable remote services for our iPads, iPhones, and Laptops. So far this has worked well. The big steal […]
Gabe is an excellent speaker and he knows his stuff. He uses solid, real world examples to communicate and even after the first 30 minutes I found myself still ready to click on to watch the next segment. The power of understanding and embodying gamication really equates to building a solid group of core customers […]
I’ve been using, off and on, WordPress to maintain a blog of what is going on. My advanced skill (joking) has gotten me to the point of being able to add entries and tag them. I stumble through the setup but really relied upon the Cpanel to install it on my site and then the […]
I recently joined the O’Reilly Blogger Review program and this is the first book I chose to review. The entire “Missing Manual” series is dedicated to providing a solid users manual for a given product. This one is dedicated for the iPad and it does a very good job at providing a broad overview of […]
It’s Friday and I’m on my way home. As I sit here on the train I feel like I’ve kicked my iPad into 2nd gear this week. Apple’s iBook app is great but the prices of the books at the store are a little high. I bought my first novel ebook from Amazon (epub) and […]
