Continue reading →: Old Post Markup Corrections
I’ve spent part of this morning cleaning up old posts that were imported from a different blog platform with some issues. These posts were imported a long time ago and I’ve never really spent much time trying to clean them up. Basically, the markup is showing directly within the posts.…

iKeePass, an iPhone version of KeePass, is available in the iTunes App store. I don’t know if it’s a good program – I haven’t tried it yet. I’ve been randomly checking for an iPhone version off-and-on since I first purchased an iPhone. The App is 99 cents. I’m interested but…

There have been several posts and articles about complaints from Chinese computer users to Microsoft regarding a recent system update for Windows. The update automatically changes the background to display a notice reminding users of pirated copies of Windows to purchase legal versions. If the background has been changed the…
