Tinkering with iTunes, Again :(

19Oct09

Gosh, iTunes annoys and confuses me. As of today, I have the feeling that it’s doing the same thing to itself.
iTunes is reporting that to fully sync with my iTouch it will have to erase the data on the iTouch because it was synced with another library. First of all, I don’t remember syncing my [...]

“Mac or PC” – Oh Really?

19Oct09

I get asked this question by so many people that I’m tired of having to repeat myself all the time. It’s commonly phrased something like, “What’s the difference between Mac and PC?” or “How do you compare the two operating systems?” Well, the answer is quite simple.
You can’t.
Why can’t you compare the two? Well, because [...]

StackOverflow Trilogy Stickers Have Arrived

19Sep09

The League of Justice (i.e. the StackOverflow trilogy) stickers arrived today in the mail! YAY YAY YAY! Somehow or other, there were two StackOverflow stickers, along with a ServerFault and SuperUser one, in my envelope, when there should have been only three total, but this is awesome! I will post pictures of the stickers soon!

The iPhone Configuration Utility 2.0 – a Great Diagnostic Tool

13Sep09

I was surfing around on SuperUser today, and found a mention to a tool from Apple that I hadn’t heard of before. It’s called the iPhone Configuration Utility, which allows you to examine logs from your iPhone or iPod Touch, to apply configuration and provisioning profiles, and more. The tool is very interesting! [Download: Windows|Mac]

(Almost) Destroying Explorer.exe, AGAIN

07Sep09

Today, somehow or other, I stumbled upon the distributed processing app called GIGRIB. Developed by Pingdom, “Pingdom GIGRIB is a unique, distributed website monitoring service. GIGRIB users can add websites they want monitored, and in return their computers become a part of the GIGRIB monitoring network.”
So, I fired it up, inputed the domains I wanted [...]

Come on, already

22Aug09

Look, Apple, you’ve gone too far (why else are many of my blog posts about you?). And the FCC is there to kick your face in. Just accept the Google Voice app already. You know you’re going to be forced to anyway, so why not save yourself the trouble? And please, learn your lesson from [...]
