Gracias for the Crashy Apps

Monday, September 8, 2008

Maybe I’m alone here, but every now and again an application running on my iPhone 3G (with its fancy 2.0 firmware) crashes. It usually occurs at the precise moment when I need that particular application to be doing what it’s supposed to do. I mean, seriously: Twitter updates are vital when I’m mobile, right? Well, whether [...]

Time Machine Actually Works

As I mentioned in my inaugural post, I’m an IT guy. And as an IT guy, if someone has broken a piece of tech in the weirdest way imaginable, I’ve seen it. Suffice to say, nothing prepared me for the near mutant-style destruction that my wife caused her old iBook G4. Sadly, my wife has [...]

Presto Change-O! Audio Codec Changes on the Fly

Ever had the need to quickly convert one of your AAC audio files to another format? I was asked today for a down and dirty way to quickly convert an M4A file to an MP3 file. The assumption was that we were going to have to look for an application to handle the conversion, or [...]

(Solid) State of the Union

One of the more common complaints that I’ve been hearing about the Macbook Air (and I’m not referring to its slower processor, lack of optical drive, lack of additional USB ports, or wired ethernet ports!) is that Apple, in doing the computing public a “favor” is making solid state drives available as an option over [...]

Todos or not todos that is the question!

If there is any application out there that would make a windows user more comfortable using Leopard Todos would be it. But instead of me babbling about it I’m going to let the screencastÂ do all the talking.

The Enterprise Just Got Cool…

As excited as I am about all of the cool stuff that will soon be available because of what the iPhone SDK has to offer to developers, I’m even more excited about the proliferation of the iPhone that is about to happen in the enterprise arena. Let me explain: Bringing the Microsoft ActiveSync licensing to the [...]

From iLife 08 to Office 2007

As I said in my introductory post, I live (proudly) as a Mac user in a Microsoft OS build and support center. And try as I might to convince the powers-that-be that it’s time to “switch”, I’m not getting a ton of traction on that front. So, I’m unfortunately left with having to live between [...]

iPhone Firmware 1.1.4 is Released

I’m in the midst of the upgrade so that I can tell you what it changes once I’ve had some time to play with it. There is speculation out there that is suggesting that this is only a maintenance update for the soon-to-be-in-our-hot-little-hands SDK. I’m here to assist you in your hype-filled afternoon.

Have you seen this one yet? I don’t know about you, but there’s a large part of me that’s actually tired of the fanboy gristmill crooning about the latest iPhone firmware. I’ve foolishly had my hopes raised and dashed on more occasions than I care to count – even as the 2008 Steve-note was in progress! [...]
