Woke up this morning to a dead iPhone. I updated to v3.1 last night, listened to an audio book for about 30 mins and woke up to my iPhone having a dead battery this morning. I was able to get it to boot up by plugging it in and holding the sleep/wake and home button [...]

DHCPLOC Utility
I never new about this one but we had a reason so use it yesterday. Computers at one of the stores were being given false DNS entries by a false DHCP server. Since others may see this malware on their systems the DNS Servers it used were: 64.86.133.51 and 63.243.173.162 On one of the machines [...]
Internet Explorer 8
Ok I admit it, I like IE 8. It runs good enough, looks good, InPrivate Browsing is good, and I like that one tab or window won’t crash all my IE tabs. However I won’t use it because it doesn’t have in-line spell checking. Sure I can download a add-on to get spell checking but [...]
IE 8 Checks for Malicious Software
I installed Internet Explorer 8 this morning and noticed it checked for Malicious Software before installing. My guess is it used MSRT’s (Malicious Software Removal Tool) quick scan because it didn’t take very long. I don’t know why but I think that’s kind of cool. Technorati : IE8, Internet Explorer 8, Malicious Software, Microsoft Del.icio.us [...]
Stardock Fences will organize your icons.
I like this program. Stardock Fences will organize your icons into… well… fences. So if your the type that has a lot of desktop icons then fences is certainly for you. The best feature is the ability to scroll through icons in a fence. If the number of icons fills up the space you allow [...]
I’m liking Gmail Tasks
So far I like the addition of Tasks to Gmail. The feature I like the best is adding an email to my tasks list. This is great for actionable items that come in via email. I use to put a star by emails that I need to do something about. Now I can add them [...]
I’m losing Sandy
I don’t know what I’m going to do without Sandy. She has been the most loyal administrative assistant I’ve every had, but as of Dec 8th 2008 she will be resigning. Nay, dying. That’s what I get for relying on free web services. I kept begging for Sandy to send me ads or to somehow [...]
ForensiT’s Transwiz
I just can’t use Transwiz. I don’t know why the concept is easy enough and I love Profwiz, but Transwiz fails 50% of the time for me. Some problem with files it tries to transfer. Oh? You have no idea what I’m talking about do you? I should explain. ForensiT’s Transwiz is suppose to compress [...]
Ordering Microsoft Replacement Disks
This is just a quick note for reference. Often I have to have client call Microsoft to get replacement disks for a variety of Microsoft software. From Microsoft’s site: Also, to obtain a replacement disk, telephone the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561, and request a replacement for your damaged disk. If you are outside [...]
Segate’s MaxBlast
Update: Turns out MaxBlast only works for Seagate or Maxtor drives. So if you have one of those then get your free copy of Acronis True Image. So Seagate offers a drive image tool called MaxBlast 5 for free. The really great thing is it’s powered by Acronis. Acronis has some great Drive Imagining software [...]
