This vs That — Be Tech Agnostic
Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Linux (Ubuntu) vs Windows 8 vs OS X iOS vs Android vs Windows Mobile vs Whatever … I’m not a “frontend developer.” That’s not my job. I’m a “backend” developer” and I only code PHP and MySQL on OS X.
Blackberry Desktop Software Released for Mac OS X
Friday, October 2, 2009
Earlier today, RIM released Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac (10.5.5+ required). It lets you sync your iTunes music with your Blackberry, sync your contacts and appointments with “popular Mac applications,” add/remove apps, and transfer data between your Mac and BB. This 26 meg app is nice, but RIM needs to get going on a Mac [...]
External Links Being Hidden Behind Emoticons/Smilies
Sunday, July 26, 2009
Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of the spam comments on my blogs contain links concealed behind smilies. This helps you place any URL on a forum or a blog, without raising any red flags, as would happen if you blatantly add links to your posts or signature. It’s not obvious that this paragraph is just [...]
The Gmail Captcha is Optional
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
When you try to login with bad credentials, Gmail gives you a captcha to fill in before your next login attempt. Not only does this captcha appear randomly (keep putting in the wrong username and it will sometimes appear, sometimes not) (update: now it appears to be more consistent), but it’s also optional*. Just put [...]
Bash Tips for Power Users
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Every Geek site needs an obligatory Bash Tips post Copy Files Securely Between Two Machines I used to always forget the syntax for this, until I realized that the syntax is exactly like the standard cp command. In fact, you can copy files like you normally would using scp, on your local machine. The following [...]
Do You Keep Old Programming Books?
Monday, June 1, 2009
I knew HTML and learned ActionScript (actually ActionScript wasn’t out yet. Flash only had basic scripting support) , and around 1999 I wanted to learn Javascript. I ended up getting a book on Java, thinking it was Javascript. It didn’t take more than a day to figure out they’re completely different languages, but for some [...]
4 Do-It-Yourself Whiteboard Alternatives
Monday, April 13, 2009
Whiteboards are as useful as they are overpriced. I built one using tileboard (the thing they use in bathrooms), and I highly recommend making/buying one. It took me awhile to find tileboard in my area. In case anyone has the same problem, here are 4 alternatives I considered: They are not in any specific order. [...]
Burning Xbox 360 Games on Linux (Stealth!)
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
You could run ImgBurn in Wine, or probably burn the games in VirtualBox running Windows, but that’s no solution… you’re reading this because you want to burn Xbox 360 games on Linux using native tools. It’s surprisingly easy! The games are usually an ISO file, along with a little DVD (.dvd) file that tells the [...]
Blackberry Bold 9000 vs Curve 8900
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Phones aren’t something I’ve been into, and not something I ever wrote about (or ever planned to), but I feel this post will be helpful to many people choosing between these two devices, and out of all my sites, I feel this is the most relevant one I can throw this post up on. I’ll [...]
