Windows April Fools prank
Change the default mouse cursor on a computer to an hourglass, and chuckle silently watching your spouse or coworker reboot the computer over and over. Better yet, they may just stare at the screen continuing to “wait” which is what the hourglass in...New East PDX Blog
The former editor of the East County News (a newspaper in which I wrote computer articles from 1998 to 2001) has begun a local news blog, called EastPDXnews. The URL is http://www.eastpdxnews.com and if you’re looking for up to date news about issues concerning...Free Antivirus for Home Users
*update – as of 1/1/2007 AVG is no longer free…sorry! Antivirus companies charge a lot for their product, and with good reason. However, there’s a company that has decent software that they give away free to home users, with the hopes of earning your...Internal Use Spy
I just went to make a phone call, and the screen of my XV6700 says this… “Internal Use Spy” hwnd: 7c078c50 style: 10008004 ex:4 Title: Phone – Class: dialog Window [0,26]-[240,294] Client 240 x 268 hwnd owner: 000000 Do you want to dump the...Microsoft Voice Command via Bluetooth registry hack
I just bought a “new” version of Voice Command (July 2005!) and I incorrectly assumed that Voice Command would work via Bluetooth by now, and frankly, I’m shocked that it doesn’t. Although the software is great, and will announce upcoming...Trick advertisements
Don’t you hate those online ads that look like security warnings or questions? Have you ever fallen for them? I just actually fell for one, while I was buying a site security certificate for a new website we’re doing. I was filling out an online form, and...Local search is here, but is your business taking advantage?
It still seems to be a relatively low percentage of businesses that are really maximizing the internet as an advertising medium. I think many businesses are losing sales every minute of every day. You’d be surprised how often the company with the largest ad in...Another phone for me – UTStarcom XV6700
I finally did the unthinkable. I upgraded my phone before I was eligible, and that cost me an extra $250. Why? To recap, In July 2005, I did an upgrade from my 2 year old Kyocera 7135 clamshell PDA/phone to the brand new Samsung i730, which had a full keyboard,...New website
A new PDXTC customer project has rolled out and it up and running smoothly. It’s an e-commerce store for high end childrens furniture. There’s a national chain of childrens fitness centers called My Gym with about 150 locations around the country. (Two are...Customer comments
If you’re a client or subscriber of mine, would you please take a quick minute to comment on your experiences? All comments will remain unedited (assuming they’re family friendly!) and anonymity is allowed, although not preferred. I’m putting this...One way links bring you traffic and SERPS
Part of my job is to review websites from all over the world to identify problems. Frequently, these sites have been optimized or “SEO’d” properly, yet are still not doing as well in the SERPS (Search Engine Result Pages) as the site owners would...
