Lessons Learned from a Month Off the Social Grid

Published by Christopher Price on January 1, 2013 | Leave a response

For at least a full month, I made a conscious decision to cease all social networking. I was busy trying to build a product, but I also learned some things about how and what I was social networking about. I learned some nifty things about what I missed, and what I should not miss doing [...]

Plugin Shoutout: Login With Ajax

Published by Christopher Price on November 28, 2012 | Leave a response

Every once in awhile, a WordPress plugin just deserves a shout out. Today’s is Login With Ajax. It got my largest donation to a WordPress plugin yet. What the plugin does, is converts the WordPress registration (wp-signup) and login (wp-login) processes. As the name implies, it converts them into AJAX instances that run on the [...]

Preserve Java Preferences.app From Apple’s Update Deletion

Published by Christopher Price on October 19, 2012 | 4 Responses

If you install the latest Java update, released yesterday, on OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, it will not only delete the Java web-plugin, but it will delete something you didn’t expect… Java Preferences.app. Apple did make note of this, in the security descriptor notes for the update, but nowhere in the notes [...]

Making Android Less of a Pain to Build

Published by Christopher Price on October 2, 2012 | Leave a response

This is an article for developers, or those of us that play developers on TV. If you aren’t either, you may want to skip this one… With Google offering its own form of Ubuntu to its employees, I really wish Google would offer a compiled branch of Ubuntu specifically for creating and building both Android [...]

Groupon: Here’s How You Lost Your Way

Published by Christopher Price on September 20, 2012 | Leave a response

I’m burning through my last cash on Groupon. Unfortunately, their communications with me over the past day, have shown to me a top-to-bottom gutting of the vision, caliber, and passion that the company once held. A long time ago, several months ago, I purchased a Groupon for an auto detailing. I was hesitant, because I [...]

My Apple IDs & Me

Published by Christopher Price on September 20, 2012 | Leave a response

Today I had to help yet another confused/frustrated person deal with the fact that they, unaware to themselves, possessed multiple Apple IDs. I personally have four Apple IDs that I have to juggle. Apple’s iTools/.Mac spawned one (which I’m now stuck with because of the iTunes Store purchases being tied to it… iTunes and iTools [...]

Neat Makes NeatWorks / Neat 4.0 Free for Mac! (Here’s How)

Published by Christopher Price on September 15, 2012 | 2 Responses

To my surprise, it appears that Neat Company has made the latest version of NeatWorks, Neat 4.0, free software. NeatWorks (now apparently renamed just Neat for Mac) is great software that I rely on daily. It is designed to work with a select few scanners, but can provide Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for any TIFF [...]

TiVo Stream is (Almost) A Great Device

TiVo Stream is (Almost) A Great Device

TiVo Stream is a $129 add-on for your TiVo Premiere. It is a hardware H.264 encoder that gives your TiVo the horsepower to sling live/recorded television to your mobile devices in real time. $129 is not cheap. It’s the cost of a Slingbox (and a higher-end model, at that). You can get an old Slingbox [...]
