I sent a defective SDHC Card back to Patriot Memory about one week ago. I received the replacement in the mail sometimes yesterday. I can’t quite remember how much I paid for the SDHC card a year or two ago. At the time of this post it sells for $14.99 at Amazon.com and Newegg.com.
I would like to thank Patriot Memory for making the RMA process so easy.
I am currently working on a Mac Pro with a problematic Apple RAID Card. The fun part is to transfer terabytes of data off the hard drives in RAID to other drives. Wait a minute, did I say “fun”?
Anyway, a lot people are hoping Apple to release new Mac Pro soon. There are fears that Apple would axe the Mac Pro line, since there has been no new models for two years. I personally haven’t heard a word about any new Mac Pro from my contacts at Apple.
I bought those Mac Pro RAM from Other World Computing.
Seriously, who would still want to install Windows Vista?
Acer still provides Windows XP drivers for Veriton VX4618G series. The one I’m working on is Veriton VX4618G-Ui7s60W. It comes with Windows 7 Professional.
If you own a small business and you want to accept card card as payment then it couldn’t be any easier these days.
About a week before Christmas 2011, I helped setting up credit card payment system using Square for a small bakery in the Long Beach, California. All they need are: a wireless access point, an iPod touch and Square card reader. In addition to that, they are also accepting card payment at farmers market in Long Beach, Culver City and Pasadena. According to the bakery owner, they are gaining new customers by simply accepting card payment.
The next project is to redesign Sconeage Bakery website.
Ever wonder why the CPU fan is running loud? You should check it out and see if the heatsink and fan are dirty.
In addition to that I replaced the Pentium D with a Core 2 Duo.
One of these iPhones is not running iOS 5; it is time to upgrade.
Security advisory from Dreamhost from January 20th, 2012: Changing Shell/FTP Passwords due to Security Issue
Last night we detected some unauthorized activity within one of our databases. While we don’t have evidence that customer passwords were taken at this time, we’re forcing a change out of caution.
If you are Dreamhost customer, you should change your password on the side of caution.
On related note, Dreamhost apparently saves password in clear text.
