Do you use Windows7 on bootcamp? Or anywhere? After adjusting to the scrolling system on Mountain Lion (which I love) it’s almost impossible to go back to Windows and have wierd scrolling again. You can easily change it for USB mice (still need to figure out how to do it for trackpad) where easily assumes…

Save As… for Mountain Lion
This post has saved my bacon numerous times as I’ve installed Mountain Lion on systems:  http://www.tuaw.com/2012/07/29/get-save-as-back-on-mountain-lions-file-menu-easily-and-without/  Having Save As… is just a necessary part of how I work…
iPhone 2G
I finally got around to taking a look at my original iPhone – the 2G. I used it for about 2 years, when I got the 3GS the nannie took it and spilled apple juice on it (killing it). It sat in a drawer for years. I pulled it out and took it apart. I…
OSX Mountain Lion and Java
Mountain Lion doesn’t ship with a java jre or jdk. And it removes the Apple one that was working in Lion. Installing the latest Apple sanctioned Lion Java Update results in exceptions. [Update July 29th – it seems there is an jre from apple now that will auto-install] Â Nothing yet from Apple, but don’t…

The Real Guide To Rooting The Nexus 7
I’ve looked over the Google results for rooting your Nexus7 and they are all a joke. None that I read would actually work on a Nexus7, so clearly the people posting are just looking for hits. Most of them were copypasta from one of 3 original guides. This is the real deal. I got a…
Newton Connection to MacOSX
One of the hardest things I’ve ever tried to do was connect a Newton to an OSX host. Between getting ADB connections to USB, and OSX with and without Classic so far it’s been impossible. At least not connecting them has zero impact on my life, so this can take as long as it needs…
Back with some more postings
Now that the site is back up, I’ve just pulled down MarsEdit version 3 to use with posting to the site. I’ll admit that a tumblr site seems tempting now, with all the issues you get with your own WP site. But I’ll see how this goes…
Site was hacked and forwarding elsewhere!
Something hacked the WP and inserted some code that was forwarding most pages to a scam site. I found this wonderful page that Dan wrote:Â http://danhilltech.tumblr.com/post/18085864093/if-you-get-eval-base64-hacked-on-wordpress-dreamhost which has a great little ruby script which cleaned up my pages and got the site back…
