    Sigh, I’ve had this happen three times now, when I install a bunch of applications and press the HOME button to get back, the iPhone comes up with a spinning wheel and won’t stop. When I turn it on, the apple logo comes up and the spinning wheel is under…

    Calvin wants to solve anagrams. There are lots of great programs out there, but not much source. “Gtoal.com”:http://www.gtoal.com/wordgames/anagrams.html has a good list of source code that is out there, but its hard to find a simple program. “Gtanag.mai”:http://www.gtoal.com/wordgames/anagrams/gtanag.mai is perhaps the simplest program that is a C program. I’m sure…

    OK, finally flopped Nextgen Gallery for ZenPhoto even though I can’t get the widget to work. But, let’s try integration. First, you should see a “Photos”:https://richtong.net/zenphoto button now at the top. You do need a password to see anything though 🙂 But to get it to actually integrate into the…

    What to do on a “rainy”:http://www.hawaiiweathertoday.com/?page_id=20 day in Maui, well thank goodness for the Internet: “Hawaii Show Time”:http://www.hawaiishowtime.com/Movies/index.asp?Isle=2. 10,000 BC looks good as does Nim’s Island. 1:30 and 1:45 shows or Horton hears a Who at 3:45, but the wind is picking up and “Beaufort scale”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale#The_modern_scale is 4-5.

    Wow, this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/ is just so cool. Upgrades WordPress automatically. I had 2.3 and wanted to get to 2.5 and it just did it! It also upgrades automatically the plug ins that I have. WordPress does use lots and lots of plugins so this is really convenient. Should really be…

    I don’t quite get where you are, but “http://twitter.com/richtong”:http://twitter.com/richtong is something I’ve started to use.

    I’ve had lots of problems with getting my Canon Rebel to work with my MacBook Air. First, the Compact Flash reader that I have works fine with Windows, but it was a cheap one from Targus and just refused to work with the MacBook Air. Then, after installing Canon’s software…

    Well, if you buy a Time Capsule, it works easily as an Apple network disk, but what about as a file server for Windows machines. This is a bit tricky, because of mapping, but basically, if you set it up to. By the way a *big limitation is that the…
