Seriously trivial thoughts
I found a fatal flaw in the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2. If you connect something to the Aux input, it turns off after about a minute. I did a search and it appears to be a common problem and Logitech refuses to acknowledge it…so far. For iPod use, I really like it. However, without the …
I like to flag messages of importance in Outlook. However, Outlook does not automatically clear the flag if you delete it. I also often move the message into folders and forget to clear the flag. What ends up happening is the For Follow Up shortcut has messages that are no longer important. Anyways, I figured …
I just got my second Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere2. This one’s going on my desk at work. Why do I like it? Well, it’s the only portable speaker I could verify would properly charge my 2nd gen iPod Touch. Apparently, Apple changed the power pins and most other speakers don’t charge the 2nd gen Touch. The …
My wife often refers to the iPod Touch as an “iTouch”. My daughter and I both have one. I don’t correct her. I know what she’s talking about. However, I was at Best Buy today looking at cases and the sign over the section said iTouch. Am I being trivial? Maybe. SeriouslyTrivial? Definitely! ;-)

The one thing I REALLY miss with Google Chrome is the lack of mouse gesture support. StrokeIt appears to solve the problem. Basically, StrokeIt adds mouse gestures for any Windows application.� First I had to delete the default Global Actions for Up and Down. Then I added new actions and associated them with the proper …
I connect remotely to my PC and often wished I could see my disk activity. I did a little searching and stumbled upon DriveGLEAM. Among many things it will indicate read/write activity for your hard drives in the system tray. I also enabled the memory usage indicator. By default it shows separate icons for monitornig …
HDMI is a crazy standard. After hooking up my AV receiver to my new LCD flat panel via HDMI, you would think that everything connected to my receiver would play perfectly, right? From my cablebox’s component output all the way down to my aging standard def digital recorder. Well, no go. The ONLY thing that …
Nokia Beta Labs has a cool application that will convert audiobook WAV or MP3 files to something that works with their S60 audiobook player. It's available here. Each file is treated as a chapter and the filename is used as the chapter's title. No support for ID3 tags. You'll need to remember this because the …
