Ecto .. taking a backseat?

JT — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:04:22 +0000

Ecto started acting up on me lately. It may be because of new hardware, new version of WordPress, whatever. It’s just not a smooth as it once was. I’ve also been looking around and reading other reviews about blogging software on … Continue reading →

It’s been awhile, but I decided to take up this subject (yet again.) Although I do still have access to Safari Online, a friend of mine lent me his copy of iPhone SDK Essential Training DVD from Lynda.com for comparison. … Continue reading →

Learning iOS Development – Day 2: lite day…

JT — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:30:52 +0000

Today was a light day for learning. I only made it through a couple of more videos before I had to take care of other things. Strange, I sat down at my computer about 4 hours ago and did work … Continue reading →

Learning iOS Development – Day 1: Seriously? Again?

JT — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:25:12 +0000

Once again, I'm heading back into the development world. Over the last few years I haven't done any serious development as I was more concerned about finding a gig and some stabilization in my life. Now that I'm in a gig and my life has settle into somewhat of a routine, I decide to start looking into getting back into some programming. I figure it's better than spending my time watching TV or catching up on movies. Maybe I can come out of this little exercise with a published program. Who knows?

Microsoft Love — Finally

Windows Live Office -> Windows SkyDrive: I signed up for the Windows Live Office when it first came out because I was testing all sorts of cloud based apps at the time. ... While there seems to be some complaints online about this move, for the limited uses I have found for Live Office, I'm just happy about going from 5GB of free disk space to 25GB!! Continue reading →

Sharing via iTunes Playlists

JT — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 00:29:44 +0000

Now that I've pretty much ended my quest for a great calendaring solution for the family, I've turn my attention to sharing our media. Like a lot of families, I have a ton of music, pictures, and video scattered acrossed a number of machines. I've corralled a lot of this data to one SAMBA share on my Ubuntu server. This is good - as now I have one central place for all data that my family can now avoid on purpose. "What server?", "uh, where can I find that movie/song/pic?", etc. No matter, I will win them over soon (well... eventually.)

In any event, my wife asked me last night to put some new songs on her iPhone as all she has is older music - her musice dated back to circa 2009. Biting back the first sarcastic comment that came to mind ("You can find it on the server.."), I said sure. This little exercise was going to eat through my evening. Just because everything is in one location, everyone has their own iTunes database and none of them are up to date with the contents of collection. I thought I would have to blow away her iTunes database and import everything in the library again, or I would have to at least manually add every new song. However, I found a neat little procedure that save a ton of time and thought I would share it.

OS X 10.6.3 Updates

Ahhh.. thought I forgot about you? No, no, my poor little blog, I haven't forgotten. Look what I got. Yes, it's new content. Yes, I know how much you like new content.

Seriously, it's been some time since I've updated the blog. Shame on me, there were a number of opportunities that were perfect for the blog. I'll start small and see if I can keep additional content coming. Out of the gate - I'd like to talk about my OS X 10.6.3 upgrade.

IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint for the Mac version 7.01

JT — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:37:58 +0000

! It's finally here! IntelliType and IntelliPoint v7.01 is now 64-bit compatible with Snow Leopard. I can finally go back to my Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 setup.

The only issue is that it took literally 30 minutes to find the software. Microsoft's site kept pointing me to an older version (v6.x) of the software no matter what combination of keyboard/mouse/desktop options I selected. The first 50 websites I found on Google pointed me back to Microsoft's site.

I was able to find it finally on softpedia's site, and it was mis-labeled. Here is the link. The page is labeled as Microsoft IntelliType v7.01, but it contains the desktop programs. This means that both IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint are included in the package.
