I’ve been using a Mac now at work for just about all of my activities. We have a fair number of UNIX hosts that I need to work with and I’ve heard you can log in without a password but have never been able to get it to work right. I’ve now found a solution! [...]

Recently I had to take a set of slides exported out of PowerPoint and turn them into slides again. While the process was totally backwards, it generally worked for the purposes of the meeting. When PowerPoint exports slides, it puts 6 slides on a page in PDF form. So to get them back into slides, [...]

I just updated to Ubuntu 11.10 and had some massive issues with Ubuntu running Thunderbird. Since Unity, the new UI software never really worked all that well, I decided it was time to wipe my settings.

I have to say that I am impressed. I genuinely enjoy my phone. I am surprised how much I use it at the expense of the computer. I do most of my browsing of South Bay Riders as well as my email on the phone. Most of my blogging is done on the phone as [...]
