- Open a blank Notepad file
- Type “.LOG” (in uppercase, no quotes) in the first line of the file, followed by Enter. Save the file and close it.
- Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.
- Type your notes and then save and close the file.
- Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.
This is a cool way to take notes. I have a Notes.txt saved on my Desktop at work, and every time I need to note anything, I fire up this file and type it up. I have a date, and time stamp inserted each time for future reference.

Jobs may have made his stance on Flash on iDevices pretty clear- but that doesn’t mean our brilliant community of developers weren’t going to make it happen.
Comex has publicly released FRASH, a port of Adobe’s Flash 10.1 for Android. It has been cooked to run natively in Safari! It does not support video playback at the moment, but Flash sites, and games seem to be running pretty well.
You want to get in on the action? Here’s how: (more…)

I got the phone, and the review is coming.

When dealing with a computer issue, you will often hear your tech have you restart in “Safe Mode“. You may be wondering what “Safe Mode” is, and what it does. Safe Mode is the troubleshooting option for your Operation System (OS) which starts your computer with the most basic drivers, and services.
Anti Virus software, print drivers, and other 3rd party process’ are disabled, so you can get into the system on a clean slate, fix the issues, and reboot into normal mode.
Safe Mode may be required for Malware removal at times, since it allows the computer to boot, and prevent the virus from loading in the background.
You may be getting the “blue screen of death” (BSOD) when booting into Windows 7, and are wondering if it is an issue with your Windows installation, or is it a problem with a piece of software, or device you are using. If the problem does not appear when you start in safe mode, you can cancel out the default settings, and basic device drivers as possible causes of the issue.
If you are still unsure about the cause of the issue, you can use the process of elimination to narrow down the possiblities:
In Safe Mode- start your commonly used programs, one by one, and see if you can replicate the error. Often times, corrupt software can halt the entire system. If you recently made a change to your system before it went down, such as installed a new webcam, Safe Mode will allow you to log in and uninstall the cam, and reboot to see if it solved the problem.
How to boot into Safe Mode:
Windows - Power on the PC and hold F8 as it begins booting up. Choose the “Safe Mode” option when prompted.
Mac - Power on the Mac, immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
Linux (most distros) - Power on your system, when at the GRUB boot menu, choose the version of the Kernel that has the Safe Mode option in the name.

After yesterday’s pre-order meltdown, I came out of the chaos with a reservation at the Apple Store for a 32GB Black model on June 24th. Some people may still be trying to decide if they should upgrade or stick with their current model, since 3G and 3GS will be getting iOS 4 (3G build will be somewhat limited, and will lack multitasking due to hardware constraints). To help, I’ve compiled a list of reasons why you should consider upgrading to the iPhone 4.

The official iOS 4 is coming to iTunes in less than 2 weeks- and if you’re anything like me, you may be anxious to get your hands on it now. If so, I’ve got you taken care of.
Unlike previous iOS 4 Betas, this GM does not require your iPhone UDID to be on a Developer Account. You will still need a Mac though. In order to install this GM, you will need to use the iTunes 9.2 Beta, which is only available for OS X at the moment.
Some things to keep in mind:
You can not sync your iPhone to a Windows PC yet, since this build requires iTunes 9.2 Beta which is Mac only at the moment.
This is a Gold Master Candidate build, but does not make it an official build. There may be bugs that end up getting fixed before the official version hits iTunes.
Here are the steps:
- Download iTunes 9.2 Beta for Mac OS X
- Install iTunes 9.2 Beta
- Download the iOS 4 GM seed for iPhone 3GS, or 3G – iPod Touch 3G, or 2G
- Plug in the iPhone (or iPod Touch) to your Mac, and start iTunes
- Select your iPhone (or iPod Touch) from the left sidebar
- Hold the Option key, and click “Restore“
- Browse for the iOS 4 GM ipsw file and select it
Give it about 15 minutes, and you’ll have iOS 4 on your iPhone (or iPod Touch) ready to go.
I’m running it now on my 3GS, and it works very well. It’s very responsive and stable. I have had some app compatibility issues, but that’s because devs haven’t submitted their 4.0 compatible apps to Apple yet nevermind.
