Working on a project, I came across the need to install a font on a machine. Now, manually, you can just right click on the font->install. Or I am pretty sure you can just copy into %windir%\fonts\ and it then it works, but it might not be usable until you reboot, I am not a [...]

Well, it doesn’t come from where most of us think – not from the Mint. The actual paper stuff does, but how does it get created, the volume of money and debt, and who runs it? How did it start? Check out the series of videos on the subject, very informative http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2007/09/25/where-does-money-really-come-from After watching them, [...]

Since Microsoft doesn’t want to enable IMAP for Windows Live Hotmail accounts (It just started enabling POP3 for Hotmail Plus users), getting your Windows Live Mail on your iPhone just doesn’t work. This really stinks if it is your main email address. GMail on the iPhone stinks because of the threaded conversations – every time [...]

The other day, working on something crazy, I came across a use for the new UNPIVOT keyword in SQL Server 2005. Now, I figured I would use PIVOT before UNPIVOT, but so it goes. Basically I had a temp table I populated that had some columns, then columns numbered 1-10 with different values. But I [...]

Last weekend I went out to Florida to visit my Aunt Jen and Uncle Matt, I have never been to Florida so this was cool. I knew that Matt had www.palmbeachdatabase.com – I took a look at the site a couple years ago but never really dug into it. Turns out he is like one [...]

So, last night I picked up a used MacBook from a friend. I will tell you, much different. The interface to me is sometimes just not intuitive to me. We will see. It is like a 13 inch so its much smaller than my Dell laptop. Good for just hacking around and testing Mac stuff [...]

Seriously. Every other place I have been, usually they frown on people writing on the walls, marking up stuff, writing obscenities (“Here I sit broken hearted, tried to…”) In Portland, bathroom graffiti is an art form. Either that or bars and restaurants just stopped caring and figured it looks cool enough, lets just leave it. [...]

Whew, finally got my contacts onto my iPhone. How? I use Windows Live Custom Domains, which then I use Windows Live Mail. As you would think, none of this is supported on the iPhone in any way shape or form. There is no “over the air” sync of contacts either. Blah. So, I cleared out [...]

well, I did it. Bought a 4GB model, just finished hacking it, I have my T-mobile SIM card in, it makes calls. Followed this to get it activated http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5273 then this to get it unlocked http://iphone.unlock.no/ EDGE Settings (Not sure if this is the best, but it works) Settings -> General -> Network -> EdgeAPN: [...]

Looks like the iPhone Dev Hackers Team has just released the source code for a free unlock so you can use the iPhone with any SIM…how sweet is that? It reminds me of the movie Antitrust – where they broadcast the source code over every device in the world! http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/early-iphone-sim-unlock-open-source-code-released/ http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/exclusive/iphone-free-software-unlock-confirmed-death-star-explodes-298825.php http://iphone.unlock.no Now, I have [...]
