This weekend I tried Teamviewer a free remote access program. There are other remote access programs and some even work better than Teamviewer but the two best things about Teamviewer is it works cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux and many mobile devices) and Teamviewer is free. Like all remote access, controlling the remote computer is a little slow. Read More→

Google has just announced the new Chromebooks to being made by Samsung and Acer. They’ll be sold by Amazon and Best Buy beginning June 15th.
The idea behind these computers is everything on the web. Use Gmail instead of Outlook, use Google Docs or Windows Live Office. Watch video on YouTube or Vimeo. Even watch TV with Netflix and Hulu. I just found these today! Do 3D modeling with TinkerCad. Read More→
I just moved this blog to Wordpess.com form my Godaddy hosting on WordPress software. WordPress.com is like the Energizer bunny. It keeps going and going with little effort by the user. WordPress.com takes care of the software and the network. You take care of the content. No administrating of the software or the database. Read More→
In the previous post “Tips For A New PC” the Tekzilla boys mentioned “Ninite” a web application that collects all of your favorite free software and roles it up in a nice executable package so you can install all of those apps at once in a single install. Read More→
I’ve been using Google Chrome for my primary browser for about two weeks and I’ve got to say I’m digging it! The speed is great and it’s very clean but just the past two day days I found where it really shines. Read More→
I’ve just been checking out the Firefox 4 Beta. I must say I’m pretty impressed! It’s really fast and it is much lighter with the system resources. Firefox 4 Beta does a really good job rendering HTML5 stuff. Read More→
The former project from Google called “Wave” may have been resurrected. The benefactor is the opensouce advocates the “Apache Software Foundation“. Apache is calling it WIAB (Wave In A box). You will be able to install Wave on a server of your 
own so you and your collaborators can work on projects together via Wave. The project is just in the planning stage now. Here’s the whole proposal.
JayCut is a an online video editor. You may ask, “Why would you use an online video editor?” The answer is for power. I have a relatively slow computer. Editing video does not require a powerful machine but rendering the video after editing requires an awful lot of computer (both CPU and RAM). Read More→

If your using HTTPS Everywhere and you want to add a site that you want to always use HTTS you will have to create an XML file with some simple code in it and save it to the HTTPSEverywhereUserRules/ subdirectory in your Firefox profile directory. This sounds a lot harder then it is.
First open Notepad or a different text editor and paste this code in to it…
<ruleset name="Twitter"> <target host="www.twitter.com" /> <target host="twitter.com" /> <rule from="^http://(www.)?twitter.com/" to="https://twitter.com/"/> </ruleset>
Replace the word “twitter.com” with you sites name. Be careful to keep everything else the same like the () in (?twitter.com/). Everything the same except your sites url.
Save the file as “yoursite.xml” without quotes and you’ve made your first XML file.
Copy and paste this file into…
WINDOWS c://program filesMozillaFirefoxprofilesHTTPSEverywhereUserRules. Open that folder and paste “yoursite.xml” in there and close the folder.Open Firefox and go to “Tools”, “Add-ons”, Https Everywhere Preferences. You should see your site listed there.
UBUNTU Go to your name (or Home). Click “Veiw” and “Show Hidden Files”. Open /.mozilla/firefox/p4pcam41/HTTPSEverywhereUserRules/. In in some earlier versions of Firefox it is in /.mozilla/firefox/profiles/HTTPSEverywhereUserRules/.
