Little Ham, a none more than 4 week old kitten which was abandoned by its mommy cat. Little Ham as affectionately called by 3-year-old Jacob, was in a bad shape when it was first rescued. Little Ham is now eating and walking around the room.
Little Ham sometimes takes a nap with Meatloaf T. Cat.
Little Ham needs a loving home.
I left for Los Angeles, California from Boise, Idaho early this morning. A lot of pictures taken along the way, some are totally unusable, some are fine and some I am really happy with.
The weather was good despite of being cold. It was only as low as 16 degree Fahrenheit.
In the middle of the trip, the Virgin Mobile MiFi stopped working. I had to rely on my phones for Internet access.
Idaho, Oregon and Nevada; I am now back in California. There are 160 more miles to go till I get home. My colleague and I took turns driving. So far we’re pretty much on time.
It’s roughly a 860-mile trip from Idaho to California. Great view along the mountains.
I went to Apple Store, Boise Towne Square to download iOS 5 for my iPhone. I could try downloading iOS 5 through Virgin Mobile Mi-Fi or AT&T 3G, but it would be slow and seriously deplete my data quota. As I arrived, I immediately proceeded to download iOS 5 for the iPhone and iPad 2. While enjoying close to 5Mbps download, my colleague told me that he was having terrible Internet speed on other Mac in the store. Is it possible that I just hogged the bandwidth at the Apple Store? After finishing the download, my colleague told me that the Internet was usable again.
To Apple Store, Boise Towne Square, please accept my apology. I did really download iOS 5 for my iPhone and iPad 2.
I’m on the road again for an assignment in Idaho. Why Idaho? I myself wonder why.
Anyway, here’s what I have in my gear bag:
It has been snowing in Boise but it doesn’t stick to the ground. I’m looking forward to Saturday for the assignment.
Update:
Since Monday October 24th, 2011 I’ve been trying to read the Walter Isaacson-penned biography of Steve Jobs which simply titled “Steve Jobs”. After I finished the “Introduction” I put the hardcover book down and took a break from it. I asked myself why I’m having such a hard time reading the book. Is it because the book about Steve Jobs? Is it because of what could be written in the biography? No.
The answer is simpler than I wanted to believe. It is one thick book to hold. I prefer reading the book in digital format. So I downloaded the book on iBooks. On retrospect, I should have downloaded the book on Amazon Kindle. I can read it on more devices.
One analog is replaced by its digital counterpart.
There is no useful information in this post because the content is subjected to Apple Developer NDA.
Skirting around the NDA, here’s what making the news on iOS 5 topic:
One can only hope that Apple would address at least 3 out of 4 issues.
Platform: Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Symptoms, but not limited to:
After long troubleshooting sessions I figured out that a bootkit was present on this computer.
A bootkit hides itself by modifying the master boot record.
The particular bootkit I was dealing with was not detected by Combofix, Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and many others. The only anti-malware program detected the bootkit was Hitman Pro 3.5.
If you are dealing with a persistent malware infection that redirects search results, try using numbers of anti-malware softwares. In addition to that, search for “Google redirect virus” using an uninfected computer. The malware redirects search result system-wide. On the infected system, search results were redirected on Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox. The malware will redirect search results on any browsers installed on the system.
It is almost 5 o’clock in the morning. I have not had a minute of sleep. I’ll clean up this post later.
