Some notes from my experience with a Dell Inspiron Mini 10v, so I don’t forget. Base checklist, also taking hints from here specifically the use of Netbook Maker and Netbook Installer. BIOS change to A04 worked as described. Lots of LOUD beeping involved. Don’t have a large capacity flash drive so using an older 20 [...]

Cyber Monday deals on Amazon are already active. Starting things off is the 8 GB iPod Touch (2nd Generation, not the latest) for $158. Still good for those who don’t need the latest and greatest.

Just read up on how to take a screenshot of an iPhone. hold down the home button while quickly pressing the sleep/wake button at the top of the phone. The screen will flash and an image will be saved in your Camera Roll Simple!

Reading about Google Wave makes it sound really, really cool. Actually using this new product is another thing. So far it’s confusing, but then again, you have to rethink how you traditionally do things in a variety of contexts to understand where Wave is going. Here’s a video explaining the basics of Google Wave. The [...]

So it seems that every Western Digital drive I have owned is failing. We’re talking internal and external. I think this might be number 4, maybe 5, but I’ve lost count. I thought it might be due to vog or HFMD or maybe it’s just the Windward air? I don’t know, but with every WDC [...]

So I got YOURLS working on pulp.ly, and it does work very well as a personal URL shortener. The only sticking point I had was that shortened URLS weren’t tweeted when created with a desktop blogging app such as Ecto. Tweets would go out when blog posts were generated via the WordPress admin interface but [...]

Obviously a Mac OS X Snow Leopard can cry. Just don’t upgrade to iTunes 9 along with the accompanying music library update, gap analysis, and genius matching and update your iPhone to 3.1 and redeem an iTunes gift card and do a Time Machine backup all on a variety of drives. You too can make [...]

Finally! My own URL shortener based on YOURLS is working. While the URL shortener market is already full, why not make a custom vanity URL shortener just for fun? That’s the reason for pulp.ly! Just for fun. Took some (unneeded) effort to launch pulp.ly, but it was a learning experience. Thanks to @mirthlab for the [...]

Changing YOURLS setting from remote to local. Does this make the difference?

Sorry, one more test using YOURLs and the domain pulp.ly. Hope this shortens and is tweeted.

Trying to stand up my own URL shortener (for fun) using YOURLS. Kind of straight forward enough (once you can read the directions), and here’s another tutorial to help out. The install was successful, but now I got this known issue to deal with. Thank goodness for geeks on IM and Twitter to help out.

Anyone else experience font conflicts after upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard? I didn’t realize I had issues until trying to read the install instructions for YOURLS. Here’s a screen shot of what it looks for me. I was like this must be some developer code or something. But copying and pasting the instructions [...]

Since a few have been asking about my recent Drobo purchase, here’s some info. I bought the “basic” Drobo unit without the DroboShare hardware. And no, the Drobo, even with the DroboShare, does not support the wicked fast iSCSI transfers. Only the DroboPro unit can handle iSCSI. Doing some quick price checks, I placed my [...]

The family’s first trip to Wet’n’Wild Hawaii was fun even with the crowds and sun out in force. With young ones, we hung around the Keiki Kove, Water World Playground, and the Kapolei Kooler, having a blast going down the various water slides. Unfortunately my trusty Canon PowerShot SD700IS camera gave out sometime during the [...]

You see this. Their quick start guide is simple and straightforward. Installation was easy, and I haven’t yet cracked open the instruction manual. Seems like Drobo took a few packaging design cues from Apple.

What’s that waiting at the doorway? Looks like a Drobo!

The Four Seasons Lodge at Koele, Lanai is tech savvy running Google’s Chrome on their public use computers. And they provide charging stations for a variety of devices. Though, please note that the iPhone/iPod charger is not compatible with an iPhone 3G (and assumedly 3Gs). When I tried it, the iPhone complained and would not [...]

I’m looking for wireless headphones as a gift. Rechargeable batteries, decent sound, works through walls. Looks like a solid product is the Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones. Plus until the end of July, there’s a deal for a free set of CX 300 in-ear headphones. Awesome deal!
