After watching the live feeds of today’s Apple iPad announcement, audio/video from Leo Leporte’s Twit, and live blogging by Gizmodo and Engadget (both of which crashed their servers from time to time), I have to have one! As expected, Apple blew away the competition. My KindleDX is now obsolete (not that I was ever really [...]

In my quest to get vReveal video enhancement software to run in Windows® on a virtual machine (VM), I installed the newly-released VirtualBox 3.0 VM application update on my 24-inch iMac yesterday.
The problem I was trying to correct is that the video card emulator in VirtualBox 1.5 was not up to handling a high-end graphics [...]

I have a chance to review a new, specialized video editing tool called vReveal, just in time to try to fix up some of the shaky vids I’m making with my new iPhone 3GS. But there’s a catch.
vReveal is a MS-Windows® program. Normally this would not be a problem, since I have Windows XP Pro®, [...]

I’ve been trying to help a friend troubleshoot her blog’s visitor counter today. She’s using Blogger, which I hadn’t tried before, so to be accurate in my suggestions, I created a dummy blog and tried installing several counters on it.
My results were somewhat mixed. I could not duplicate the counter error she’d seen, but I [...]

I was merrily posting a new entry to my personal blog this evening, when I discovered it had been infected with some malware. When I tried to look at the page, all I saw was the background image, and the status bar in Firefox showed “waiting for banished.ru”. After looking at the files on [...]

See update at the end of this post.
A mentioned here earlier, my new iPhone 3GS was activated with only minor problems. Now we have another data point to add to the history. My husband’s new iPhone arrived yesterday, days earlier than promised by AT&T, thank you very much! So, I set about putting to work [...]

Some things have been remade frequently because they are fill a useful niche, and someone thinks they can either do them better, or because they want to see them in a new form, or perhaps they perceive a potential money-maker.

It’s here at last. Now, I’m not going to do the “unboxing” schtick — that’s been done. But as I recall from 2007 when we bought our original iPhones, getting the shrinkwrap off was the hard part.
Connecting to iTunes and restoring from the backup I made from my old phone has gone well, but I’m [...]

The iPhone 3.0 software is downloading now, to be installed on my old phone in advance of getting the new one tomorrow or Friday. Ohboyohboyohboy!
