I use the Quicksilver “Capture Region” tool alot on my Macbook to save images for use here & on VizWorld.com, and it does a great job of saving PNG’s on my Desktop. However, I’ve recently noticed that the images could be made alot smaller (and then be alot easier on Bandwidth once I upload them [...]
A few weeks ago, months actually, I posted an article evaluating several online backup solutions. I started with 3, but was quickly inundated with information from other users and vendors asking me to update it with their products. The original layout I had just wouldn’t fit the new information. So I’ve revisited the post and [...]
I don’t know what happened. Yeraze.com was fine at 7:00 this morning, and I hit it again about 8:30 to upgrade to the new WordPress2.8 (After upgrading VizWorld successfully), and the site was GONE. Completly gone, all files erased. The database was still there, so a quick install of WP2.8 got that back, but I’m [...]
I have a weird issue with the WiFi on my MacBook. At home I use an Airport Extreme 802.11N Network (5Ghz N-Only, not the newer dual-band model) with WPA2 enabled that I connect to and use with Time Machine. Works great. If you’re looking for an access point and don’t mind the premium price, I [...]
With eager anticipation, I watched the WWDC keynote (well, kinda, I watched the Gizmodo livestream) hoping for news of iPhone OS3 and Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, I was disappointed all around. OS3 Well, OS3 will be publicly available next week (Wednesday). Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town next week so I’m stuck either waiting until I [...]
Update: Be sure to checkout the followup to this article. Recently at work we’ve had a series of drive failures. We’ve had leaks in our server room that trashed our RAID array (even RAID5 won’t protect against submersion). We’ve had drive failures of age & use. We’ve had raid configuration wipes due to power outages. [...]
I know, I know, the “sorry I haven’t updated in a while” post is so cliche. But I felt I needed to put something here. I’ve recently been consumed with VizWorld.com, my new pet project. And it’s doing GREAT. Some recent successes: VizWorld.com is now indexed as part of Google News. I was contacted by [...]
I’ve been using my Macbook for a few months now, and loving every minute of it. But while I’ve got OpenOffice & iWork Pages`09 for document editing, I need a good editor for code (HTML, JS, Python, C, Shell scripts, etc). So I’ve begun looking around, and I’m a bit confounded by all the options. [...]
As you’ve probably already seen, I’ve added a new plugin to WordPress here that will automatically pull my Google Reader Shared Items, YouTube Favorites, & Posterous posts into a single weekly digest post. I wanted to link those to my blog here, but I didn’t want every single one of them posted as a new [...]
Still working on Freezerburn 2.0, getting alot of help from Kevin. We’ve integrated AJAX Page refreshes so that the webpage updates every 60s or so on it’s own, without requiring a pull page reload. It adds alot to usability and makes it alot friendlier to use, but with our work requirement of CAC SSL authentication, [...]
