gmail sigs
I’ve been using Google’s Gmail for all my email needs for some time now. I’ve found it easier to centralize all my email into one online solution. This way I can get all my email at once AND have copies of it where ever I go. I could be at work or at home and [...]
network access from vista (win7) to xp
Here’s a tip I am tired of looking up after reformatting my computer.
Even though you may share all of your files on your XP computer, when you attempt to access those files from a Windows Vista or Windows 7 OS you may get an error that reads one of the following ways:
Not enough server storage [...]
goodbye google browser sync
I did some research and found the Google Browser Sync add-on for Firefox is no longer going to be supported. Not only will it not be continued for Firefox 3, but it will be completely discontinued after 2008. Ouch.
The add-on allowed me to syncronize my bookmarks, cookies, etc across multiple computers. All I had to [...]
firefox firefix
I knew I should have waited, yet I couldn’t help myself. I had to install the new Firefox browser version 3.0 and here I am with only have of my extensions working. Ugh. I should know better than that.
If anyone else out there uses my CopyforNotes extension (add-on), I have updated it to work with [...]
online email clients
I’m running an experiment to see if I can use Gmail as my only email client. For the past few years, I’ve been using Mozilla Thunderbird to retrieve and read my email. It’s a great program and I recommend it to anyone looking for an email client to install on their desktop. It’s also great [...]
unmute me
As many of you know, I love playing Battlefield 2142. I often play it while talking with my buddies on Skype. However, one very annoying problem with the game is that when you start playing, it will mute the microphone volume so that I can’t hear myself talking. This causes me to yell because I [...]
all your ie belong…
I came across yet another instance in which I needed to review a website using older versions of Internet Explorer. The problem is that once you upgrade this browser, it overwrites the previous installation. I found a great solution for XP. TredoSoft has a free program that will install IS version 3 through 6 and [...]
soups on
I finally redeemed myself in regards to my soup making skills.
I like to host Thanksgiving for the family. When my Grandmother moved out of state, there wasn’t anyone willing to go through the effort of creating a big meal and getting everyone together to enjoy it. So I decided to step up to the task.
Aside [...]
google calendar + thunderbird + smartphone
I keep appointments for work, life… pretty much everything. Otherwise I could end up forgetting something important. I have a smart phone with a great calendar (Windows Mobile 5). I also like using Google Calendar because it’s easily available when online (plus it’s sharable). But until now, I could sync the two calendar programs together [...]
copyfornotes 1.7 firefox addon
I do a lot of note taking for MODSonair, a podcast for MODSonline. I also use FireFox as my primary web browser. This means I have the ability to use add-ons (aka extensions) to add features to the browser to make life easier.
In taking notes for MODSonair, I regularly copy come text from a web [...]
