iStumbler is now Snow Leopard Compatible.

After a long wait, one of my favorite utilities is now Snow Leopard Compatible.

Enter iStumbler 0.9.9 on February 16th, 2010.

iStumbler is the leading wireless discovery tool for Mac OS X, providing plugins for finding AirPort networks, Bluetooth devices, Bonjour services and Location information with your Mac.

Release 99 includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I really missed this app.

iStumbler is also available for Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), Tiger (10.4), Panther (10.3) and Jaguar (10.2).

Ford recalls Mustang just to mess with Leo Laporte.

Ripped from the “headline:”

Ford Recalls 2010 Mustang For Being Too Cool

FEBRUARY 16, 2010 | ISSUE 46•07

DETROIT—-Ford officials issued a massive recall of the entire 2010 Mustang line Tuesday, apologizing for a quality-control oversight that led to the company manufacturing a badass muscle car that was way too awesome for the American public.

…….

According to Mulally, Ford has canceled production on the 2011 Mustang, and will instead release a line of fuel-efficient vehicles in an effort to appeal to boring old Americans.

I bet Ford found out that the Mustang is way too cool for Leo Laporte. Sorry Leo, the Mustang is way out of your league.

Yet another Text Spam, (562) 314-8316.

I’ve got another Text Spam and this time is from (562) 314-8316.

I have been filing complaints to FCC and unfortunately they ruled that such Text Spam did not violate any of their rules. I’ll get to that in the future.

Apple enables “Find My iPhone” in Safari Mobile.

Apple has now enabled “Find My iPhone” feature on Mobile Safari. Why would you want to find the iPhone on an iPhone? Well, it would be handy to use a friend’s iPhone to find your mislocated iPhone.

This is one step for Apple to improve MobileMe service. Now, it would even be better to be able to access MobileMe email from Safari Browser. There are times when someone who is also a MobileMe member needed to check the MobileMe email on friend’s phone.

WordPress.com Outage: The Aftermath, Part 2.

In a rare instance, WordPress.com was offline for almost two hours on Thursday February 18th, 2010 (Pacific Time). The team at WordPress still looking at the cause of the outage so to prevent it from happening again.

The outage happened when I was updating WordPress Stats plugin for the self-install WordPress Blogs that I am managing/maintaining. Based on this one information, could the outage involved WordPress API server or the Stats server?

Since I don’t really have access to WordPress.com core servers, I wouldn’t really know what was really going on. It’s just a hunch.

WordPress.com Outage: The Aftermath, Part 1.

I’d better make sure to spell “outage” correctly this time. Yeah, for some reason the iPhone assumed that I wanted to type “outrage” earlier. Blame the double tapping the “t” on the iPhone.

Anyway, WordPress.com is back up and the preliminary reports reveals:

  • 110 minutes of downtime.
  • 10.2 million blogs were down, as opposed to 9.2 million blogs as reported by other source.
  • estimated of 5.5 millions of missing pageviews.
  • the cause of the outage is still unknown.

We’ll find out soon what caused the outage, hopefully.

MobileMe iDisk App Update is Available.

If you’re an iPhone and MobileMe user, get the MobileMe iDisk App update now.

MobileMe is available from Apple for $99.99 (Single User) and $149.99 (Family Pack). Go to Apple Retail Store, and often they will sell you MobileMe on a discounted price.

If you’re want to get MobileMe, get it from Amazon for an everyday discounted price (2010.02.17).

If you’re not a MobileMe user, I recommend Dropbox. Even if you’re not an iPhone user, Dropbox is highly recommended.
