Seems to be a problem with several of the initial XBox 360 consoles. After playing for 10 or 15 minutes, the screen goes blank, and shows an error message. After this, three red lights appear on the box. Haven’t poked around enough, but it seems like if this is an issue, Microsoft is being very […]

Well.. I am just having no luck trying to score an XBox 360… Just today, while I was converting some of my music to MP3 (along with putting up with family on Turkey day hehe) Amazon and Sears put up bundles that were available, and once I found out, I was too late. I had […]

Anyone want to buy a gamecube?? Check out my Ebay Auction and bid on it. It includes the console with three games, two controllers, and a memory card. Makes a great Christmas gift :)

Circuit City on Friday started selling the Xbox 360 consoles on its website, sadly, I was totally unaware of this. They managed to sell out of their entire online stock in under three hours. During this time, the website was flooded with people, and most online customers experienced large slowdowns.
Circuit City was the first […]

A little while ago, someone posted a string of letters that were an anagram, that put me into motion on updating UnJumble to create an anagram solver… just today someone replied in that post saying that a clue was caesar’s box.. so I looked it up.. and came up with a solution…
The original letters: […]

Read an interesting article in the new Popular Science magazine. They had their top innovations of 2005. The top of the list? Zubbles! What are they? Colored Bubbles. Yes. You will now soon be able to blow colored bubbles! What’s so significant about that? Well the process sounds easy, but it took several years in […]

There is a new updated version of EZThumbnail available, version 1.1. New in this version is an updated method of creating the thumbnails, which should allow for crisper and better quality images than the previous version. Also added are image counts of each type once the chosen directory is selected.
Get the new version here :)

Yes, I’m giving you people another update to this story, partly because I don’t really have anything else to talk about. Microsoft has decided that the RootKit that certain Sony music CDs install is a significant security threat, significant enough for it to detect and clean the software from the system. They are going to […]

Man, this issue is spreading fast. Today Sony made an announcement to stop production of all cds containing the rootkit software, due to the fact that virus writers were exploting the software in order to infect pc’s. Once again, I thank the virus writers. This should not have been an issue in the first place, […]

Although Sony still does not disclose which particular cd’s containt their rootkit software (see previous post), The Electronic Fronteir Foundation (EFF) has identified 19 cd’s so far… so here is the list…
• Trey Anastasio, Shine (Columbia)
• Celine Dion, On ne Change Pas (Epic)
• Neil Diamond, 12 Songs (Columbia)
• Our Lady Peace, Healthy in Paranoid Times […]

Here is a topic of interest to me. Sony, being the big music company that they are, decide to combat music piracy by installing “rootkit” software that hides itself on your computer, limiting the number of times you copy a cd, and is always running hidden. Whats more? Virus makers are now exploting this (I […]

Microsoft has recently released new versions of their flagship products for windows development and database development, in the form of Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. Originally, Express versions op these products were going to retail for about $49, however, Microsft has decided to make them available for download to the public for FREE! […]

Made a quick change since yesterday’s release of 2.0. The anagram function now starts on a low-priority thread, so you can utilize your computer for other tasks while it is running. What does this mean? You can do other things now while the anagram is solving :)

UnJumble 2.0 is here, now with Anagrams! Due to some recent posts (read below this one) on problems with longer strings, I decided to update the most popular program on this site.
First, the UnJumble function is SUPER FAST, long strings should now be no problem at all, only taking a few seconds to complete, and […]

Had a message sent to me from someone today that was having problems with a quote from Caesar, using UnJumble, and it gave me an idea on an update to the program. I noticed that it was taking an extremely long time for longer strings of characters to be UnJumbled, fixed easily by a […]
