    App Updates On A Schedule

    Sunday, July 3rd, 2011

    This is a Mac-specific tip, if you don’t have a Mac, it might just be an interesting read for you. For the software that’s not available yet through the Mac App Store, use AppFresh. I have been using AppFresh for over a year, so I don’t worry that it’s still a Development Preview. Continue reading [...]

    Whew! (WordPress Upgrade)

    Sunday, May 1st, 2011

    Well, that was strange. Some of you may have noticed my blahg was down for a day or so. I tried to upgrade WordPress (to the latest 3.1.2) using the built-in function that I’ve used many, many times now and it did not work. Everything seemed to go correctly, all the way through, including the [...]

    AT&T, Tethering, Data and my other devices

    Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

    So, today I bit the bullet and gave up my iPhone 5GB “unlimited” data plan with AT&T. Previously, I was grandfathered into the “unlimited” plan, from the early days of the original iPhone. I looked back at my data usage since I upgraded to my iPhone 4, and only once have I gone over 1GB. [...]

    It’s Official… I Am Now A Mosso / Rackspace Employee.

    Monday, March 23rd, 2009

    It’s official. As of about 8:30 am this morning, I am officially employed by Rackspace. I work in the cloud files division, called Mosso, as a Linux Systems Admin. Tomorrow, I get to find out exactly what that means. I spent the day today going through their “new-hire” process. It was actually pretty interesting. We [...]

    Bummer! HP replaces it’s 2605dn.

    Thursday, February 26th, 2009

    Just found out while doing some research for a customer that HP has discontinued it’s 2605 series of printers. What a bummer! They were inexpensive, reliable printers. The good news is that they’ve replaced them with a new series. If you’re looking for an equivalent to the 2605dn, check out the new P2055dn. Hopefully the [...]

    KilaDesigns.com is now live!

    Monday, September 8th, 2008

    I’ve been helping my wife set up her web store so that she can sell jewelry on-line. We’ve been working on the store for a few weeks, and it’s now ready to go. Check it out! The store is powered by Zen Cart, which seems pretty nice. Buy something for your Significant Other! http://kiladesigns.com/

    Dear Steve Jobs, The 3G Launch Sucked

    Friday, July 11th, 2008

    Dear Steve Jobs, Next time you have the chance, kick someone over at AT&T for me. Thanks. Then kick yourself for allowing AT&T to dictate how you sell product. Thanks. Wow… purchasing an iPhone 3G was so not the experience I expected from Apple.

    Apple Store Opening, Northstar

    Thursday, July 10th, 2008

    Thanks, Stephen! Stephen twittered today about the Northstar opening… reminding me that I took a few pictures of the event, and promptly forgot to post them! Check them here.

    Gigabit

    Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

    I finished upgrading my home network to Gigabit today. I installed the final switch behind my entertainment center (if you can call it that — it’s more of a TV Stand / Audio Rack now).
