Where my google at?! Google Search Down

I don’t know how to use the Internet! My google is gone! I was trying to Google but I couldn’t cause Google wasn’t searching. I was upset ’cause my coworker found information with Yahoo! before Google. I am sad. The autofill searching seems to be failing and this happens within IE and Chrome. Instead I [...]

Dear Apple

Can you please buy some damned bandwidth with all that money you’re sitting on? I don’t want to wait 14 hours for your update of iOS 6 to download when it should only take an hour at max with my Internet speed.

Want to enable the advanced editor toolbar in mediawiki? See below

It took too damned long to find information on how to enable the advanced editing toolbar in a standalone installation of mediawiki 1.18+ so hopefully google brings you here and this will save you time.

USB Installer Ubuntu 11.10

Tried to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a laptop today and all I kept getting was a blinking cursor on the initial boot screen for the thumb drive. I did some digging and found that the thumb drive I was using was either too small or not meant to boot up. The website, http://pendrivelinux.com had a [...]

Often times these applications will deploy themselves even when Symantec Antivirus is updated and in place. We do the usual “scrub and pray” hoping for a no rebuild. Due to the increased amount of infections, we [...]

Motorola Droid update to 2.1 (still waiting!)

I’m still waiting for my Droid update to 2.1 from Verizon. Rumors started circulating yesterday about how Verizon was going through with the push and would email users. I would just like to state: I haven’t seen my 2.1 update. I’m still waiting, Verizon. It should never take this long to support an OS update [...]

Changing the location of the Windows Installation files

I grabbed this information from Petri IT. There’s nothing more annoying then having to insert the Windows CD in to a users machine if you need to run an “sfc /scannow”, especially when they’re at a remote site or on another floor. As a solution I recommend doing a few things: First, install http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html or [...]

Motorola Droid (Android) issues continue, no hope in sight?

I want to open this post by saying that I have a Motorola Droid and I love (hate) it. I wrote a previous review about my initial thoughts and many of them still stand. Android OS 2.0 really feels like Google met the market at 80% and walked away, trusting in the open market to [...]

Baltimore City Prepares to fight for Google Fiber

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake held a press announcement about how Baltimore City is going to try to bring Google Fiber to Baltimore. There’s already a site started where people are posting all sorts of suggestions and comments about what they think would be great about this. I personally have watched the city transition from a very [...]
