Windows 7 RC

I have to say that Microsoft’s polish of Vista to turn it in to Windows 7 was remarkable. I love Windows 7. After years of playing with Linux and other OS, I can say that my main machine will be Windows 7. It is fast and easy and I just don’t have the time to mess with a Linux setup. When Windows 7 releases this fall I can say that I will be buying more than one copy. Bookmark It Hide Sites

Total Beginner- Android Programming. Intro

Goal: To Develop a few android programs that I really want and enter them in to Google’s ADC2. The Problem: Other than a few programming classes in college and some basic Html, php and MySql. I am a total newbie at programming complete applications. The biggest key idea is that if you want to program in android you must learn Java first. ( If your an expert C developer, then you might be ok too). My Plan: Learn the Eclipse IDE Learn Java Learn Android Write Android Apps Win ADC2 Simple enough, Lets get started. Bookmark It Hide Sites

T-Mobile G1 Google Phone loosing connection.

It just randomly looses all signal.  If it toggle airplane mode on then off it works again for a few hours.  I took to the t-mo store and they gave me a new sim card.  But that didn’t help. I factory reset the phone.  This seems to have helped with  the  frequency that it happens  but it still happens.  Just it seems to work for a 3-5 hours before needing a toggle VS before it needed one every hour.

Windows 7 downloaded files disappear or deleted.

I have been using Windows 7 exclusively now for about a month.  I can say that I love it.  I did run accross an issue the other day that confused the hell out of me. I was trying to download an updated version of the Free AVG software,  and my Graphics drivers.  I could see them downloading, but once complete this files would disappear.  After some research I found a similar issue that others had after upgrading or uninstalling AVG FREE. I never put the two together. A few days before I tried to upgrade the version I had of AVG to the new 8.5 Version.  The Upgrade Failed and I lost the program...

Choosing a hosting provider. 1&1

I own over 30 domains and I have used several web hosts over the years.  I now still use more than one host just so I don’t keep all my eggs in one basket. My main host is 1&1 Hosting. They host the majority of my websites. They offer a great vaule and give me the rights to do what I need.  Their customer service is the only thing that is lacking, but it is getting better.  I have been with them for years and have had very little down time. I have been doing some testing on my 1&1 Hosting account with Magento. The site runs pretty fast, but I will be moving to a more dedicated...
