or: making your file uploads work over HTTPS when you are using a self-signed certificate or an authority Flash decides it doesn’t like. Flash is a popular way to upload files to web sites. This is because you can have multiple files upload at once, give pretty progress bars, and can control the file upload… Read More »
Amazon claims “We’re Building Earth’s Most Customer-Centric Company” and they deliver. Every time I have had a problem, they jump through hoops to resolve it immediately. Unfortunately, I am unable to make myself understood by the Amazon tech support team, which leads to lots of problems. This weekend I purchased about $6 worth of music… Read More »
I have a new T-Mobile G1 running Android from Google. It’s an awesome upgrade from the Sidekick II I had been using. Although it still feels very “rough” around the edges, I can see a lot of reasons why it’s exciting. The architecture is pretty cool — applications are a bundle of entry points called… Read More »
Every once in a while you look around and realize that you’re falling behind on life when you weren’t looking. Maybe your universal all in one remote doesn’t work anymore. Maybe you broke the counter-weight off one of the windows in your house and it slammed into your hand. Or maybe the hinge on your… Read More »

So after UPS (and I hate UPS) screwed… Read More »
I ordered a TiVO on Tuesday night from Amazon with 2 day shipping. It was too late in the day, so it counted as being ordered on Wednesday. Estimated delivery? Friday. So, I called up Verizon to order cable cards for it. They quickly scheduled a technician to come out (?!) and deliver them and… Read More »
So I haven’t blogged in a while. Not for lack of subjects. My TiVo died. We got a great new camera. I flew to Ohio for $10 each way. I ran over my cell phone, but it still works except for the screen. I helped release some pretty interesting software. I’m looking at the Zimbra… Read More »
Do not try this. It’s not a good idea. I don’t endorse it. That said, I have a Google Calendar that I want to view in Evolution (if just for the nice reminders) but I don’t want to make public, and I can’t use the private URL. I need Evolution to authenticate to Google, and… Read More »
