Buy my stuff on eBay!

I’m attempting to clean out and sell a bunch of stuff laying around the house. Partially to free up room, and mostly to raise the last bit of funding and savings that I need to buy a new MacBook Pro when the new models are eventually released (hopefully in October). I’m just a [...]

How to Wipe the Calendar on your iPhone

After numerous syncs with iTunes on multiple computers, all the calendar items on my iPhone were screwed up. Sometimes it was off by as much as a day. Sometimes I had duplicates on both days. Instead of manually deleting all the items by hand, I just decided to wipe the whole thing [...]

EPB Fiber to the Home Q&A

It looks like EPB Chattanooga is starting to push their fiber to the home (FITH) initiative and start to generate the marketing buzz. And, being a geek, I’m very interested. I perused their (painfully) flash-only web site (http://www.epb.net/fiber) and one thing was adamant — contact them if I had any questions. I [...]

Electric Bill + Google Spreadsheets + Google Charts = Electricity Graph

It’s a bit manual, but it gives a good idea of how Amy and I are doing on our electricity usage (obviously not very well). Doing it visually really helps a lot.

Mac: Disable Bluetooth Setup Assistant

I have my personal Mac Mini that I use at work. I control the KVM with Synergy. However, every time I reboot, the annoying Bluetooth Setup Assistant pops up and informs me that I don’t have a mouse connected. Little does it know…
I found an article at macosxhints.com about disabling the Keyboard [...]

Flickr Refreshr II

I now have 7,703 photos uploaded and there are still more to go! I uploaded about 4,000 more in the past 36 hours and that sent hits through the roof! Upwards of 2,600+ views. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that it’s going to be my last big spike. I did do [...]
