*Update: Jimc from GBM have made an awesome Rollup Alternative that allows you to roll up windows like real world blinds. This new version of rollup has a method where I attempt to include this ability. I'll make it an optional one in the final. I haven't added the window shake roll up yet... but i will try. {= DAlright here's another GBM Forum inspired App: *Updated*(see below).Warner

I was watching Rob Bushway's video on how to attach(permanently) a stand for the OQO.  It's a great video and an even better solution, but I was in need of a non attached stand.  I was  sitting my cubicle looking for inspiration when I realized that i did in fact have a solution PCMCIA/Cardbus device jewel case.  We had a few laying around, so I made a few modifications and was able to get my

So Eddie Van Der Beck over at GBM wrote an article detailing how to change the registered name organization in Vista (although it works in XP as well).I decided to automate that process and wrap a GUI to this function.Try it out here:RegisterOwner.exeWritten in AutoIT Script v3.2.4.9Please let me know what you think, either on this post or on the GBM ThreadThanks!

Here's a utility I wrote for GBM users wishing to toggle their SD Card Readers on and off. Specifically form this forum thread. The app will basically install the devcon utility (which is what is actually enabling and disabling the device) into the c:\temp folder.   The app is a simple toggle, if the SDHost Device is enabled, it will disable it.  If it is disabled, it will enable it.

Here's a little DOS Batch file that will output the contents of a folder (and subfolders) to a M3U Playlist.I put mp3 ogg and mp4 as the defaults, but you can add some more (or take some out). Create a batchfile (playlist.bat) and add these lines:@for /f "delims=." %%A in (%0) do set playlist=%%A@dir *.* /a-d /b/s |findstr "mp3 ogg mp4" > "%playlist%.m3u"You'll notice that the output is a file

I have been using IPCop for some time. However not to its fullest extent. I have recently upgraded my ISP and am of a mind to try more things and branch out. To me, the obvious first step to that is expanding the capabilities of my firewall and router. I had decided that I had grown beyond the capabilitis of DD-WRT and so I needed something with a little (only a little) more "oomph" My kit

I goofed and zaped my Vista Partition last night. i had the four partitions in the following order[GBs]:OSX[50], UBUNTU[11] ,VISTA[29], SWAP[01], FreeSpace[05].I wanted to change the order such thatVISTA[50], OSX[30],UBUNTU[15], SWAP[01].I ended up zapping Vista. Surprisingly, some of the partition utils were able to recover something, but it was a previous partition that i had PRIOR to

Since we're in the application posting mood today, I'd figure I'd post some of my other utils/apps here to see if they could benefit anyone. For this post, I am submitting for your review/comments my scrolling app. Originally created for my buddy Kamalot, because of the lack of scroll wheel his Mogo Mouse had. I was in a tabletpcreview forum thread that mentioned this lack of scroll wheel

Let me just say that i'm liking the term I came up with of "Taggers" (Tablet Bloggers) from the other post, especially since there's a similarity between a tagger's graffiti and a tablet Pc user's ink.  So anyways, I decided to kill of my XP partition in the hopes of getting OSX 10.4.7 installed instead.  I wanted to see how OSX would fair on my mighty Thinkpad X60 Tablet.  It turned out to be a

Today, we are going to learn how to make our own web proxy server on a Windows PC. Unfortunately (yes, the bad news comes first and early), you'll need a few things to get it going, but I figured that if you're reading this blog, you already have most of the stuff. Part One: Requirements This whole project is a Windows-based proxy solution. It will allow you to theoretically connect from with a

Looks like Tablet PC bloggers (Taggers? Hmm i think i like that), like myself can rejoice at the fact that someone has made the ultimate Tagger's plugin: an Ink Plugin for WLW. I'm going to give it a whirl, and possibly edit/post most random stuff. Update: here it is.   You will need to setup a drivehq.com account so that you can publish the ink files to it and then link to them from your blog

Well, I have to say, off the bat, the LiveWriter feels a lot more Microsoft-y. It's got the whole Vista/Office 2007 theme/feel to it: spacious and legible. I like it so far. It does look like LiveWriter mimics in it's windows what the post will end up looking like (I did notice that after having connected to my blog it was downloading a few files). It may not have a built-in youtube video

Looks like I will be able to take more time into publishing posts on here, since I will be testing out BlogJet 2.0 for the entirety of the trial period (i’m pretty broke right now).Apparently, one of the better new features is that you can paste/post youtube videos directly into the app as you’re semi-offline-blogging.  The big advantage here, of course, is the time delayed posts that will give

So here I am. It's about 5:26 AM and I haven't slept for a while.I just finished installing a bunch of drivers on the computer. I've also been playing around with windows Vista. I've been playing with the specific feature called speech recognition, and it's pretty impressive. As you may have figured out I'm actually using the speech recognition write this post. As a result my grammar may not

Well looks like I can "TriBoot" VISTA+XP+Ubuntu successfully, even after that hap hazardous partition encounter. The next step is getting the X60 Tablet to act like a tablet in Ubuntu.This post will document my excursion into this foray.From the stock install, I notice the following things that are not functional:-Touchscreen-Wacom Digitizer-Wifi Nic.Good thing Ubuntu has found the wired NIC or

I stayed up all night attempting to set up a triple-boot (yes it's a dual boot +1).I got a copy of Vista Business from our MSDN at work and am planning on looting, ahem, testing more Vista stuff. It took a while for me to set up Vista on the tablet and it still is not complete. The fingerprint reader is not being detected and the rotate feature does not kick in when I switch from laptop to tablet
