Continue reading →: iPhone good and bad
I think these things are going to fly off the shelves. Both AT&T and Apple stores are bracing themselves, but “appleinsider”:http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/06/18/iphone_battery_life_virtual_keyboard_concern_early_testers.html does give a list of the issues. The two main ones are short battery life. More like 5 hours of talk time. Not clear if that is in addition…

Well, my camera is dirty on the _inside_. The internal sensor is dirty. “Bob”:http://bobsplanet.com says that you need some special tools from I’d recommend getting the wipes, the fluid, and the wand for serious cleaning from “Micro-Tools.com”:http://micro-tools.com that will cost you about $25 overall: * “SensorWand 14mm for Cleaning 1.5x…

Continue reading →: League Tables
In my previous life, the “League Tables”:http://www.thomson.com/solutions/financial/investbank/leaguetable_home/ that showed who had done the most transactions in investment banking was so important. Its interesting to see how the names haven’t changed that much. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan continue to be very big in underwriting globally. Thomson Financial seems…

Shelley was asking me about travel bag recommendations. To reiterate, I’ve been using “Eagle Creek”:http://eaglecreek.com for a while. The best one seems to be the “Tarmac ES-20”:http://eaglecreek.com/bags_luggage/wheeled_luggage/Tarmac-ES-20-20158/ because it is wheeled and has lots of flaps. Also the handle is nice and curved which works better if you are taller.…

I actually tried a print server about five years ago and it worked terribly, but now I’m willing to give it another shot as I really want our Canon i9900 to work on network. If you can believe it, here is actually an entire web site that covers just Printer…

There are lots of myths about Mac’s that come from previous versions. I’ve used Macs and Windows for years. From the very first floppy only Mac all the way to the Mac Book Pro. I do think that Apple is making it way harder though by not have a Windows…

With Windows I know all the maintenance things. I use O&O Defrag for making disks faster, Chkdsk for fixing errors, with the Mac, it is a different world. http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html#Anchor-57343 has a good list of things to be done. # Repair permission is something you can do with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and…

Now that I’ve been hacking away at the Mac, its time to print. Printing is actually pretty easy. There is a built in driver for the HP 4250n that I use, but for the Canon, you get deep into color management and so forth. I can’t seem to get my…

If you have a fancy tripod, you need a special dove-tail plate that works with Arca-Swiss type quick release clamps (Arca, Boga, Kirk, Markins and Wimberly). They are expensive at $45 but perfect for video cameras that go on fancy ballheads like the markins q10 on my tripod. See the…
