Truck electric air pump (the car versions always die, quickly. This one hasn't yet in a few years of use), a first aid kit with bandages, A&D ointment, Neosporin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen, tissues, nail clippers, various USB charging cords, gloves, toolbox.

I'm not impressed enough with the free, I find every option I just want to look at being locked down. And without an update in 2 years, I'm not going to "donate" anything.

I saw an episode of Ask This Old House about this problem, and they installed a recirculating pump, taking the water from the hot side and pumping it into the cold water side until a thermocouple decided it was warm enough, and then it would shut itself off. A wired switch to activate it was installed in the bathroom…

The first cat to use the cat door I installed wasn't one of mine, it was a stray. She made herself at home, seriously sick and underfed, and we kept her for three years before she died of old age. More recently, a stray came in, with my wife assuming it was actually one of ours. She was ancient, hanging around in…

I found out that I have an 1800 watt model. Which explains a lot. I knew that 10% power in short bursts was the only way to defrost food. Anything else, including the machine's defrost cooks the food. Makes a cup of hot water pretty fast compared to the past microwave's we've had though. :) So, to get 900 watts…

I started with bytehead.org (bytehead.com was and still is taken. :) ) I consider that to be my blog and personal site. Although my host has changed things, and I really need to change hosting. Nothing like finding out that they have lost one of their domains to a squatter, which just so happened to also be the…

I find it funny that the LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING is currently in a loop. Right now, it's ALWAYS over Antartica!

If I'm going to learn a new chorded keyboard, it had better be a one-handed keyboard, not two.

AirDroid. Connects your phone to a window/tab in your browser. I get to see everything on my 26" monitor. Send messages back. Click on links and have them open on my computer screen. And if I root my phone, I can evidently see the screen in my browser. I haven't done that yet. I can look at all of my pictures,…

The problem I have with Llama is that I want to be able to do things like "when I connect to my home SSID and I'm connected to power, run Air". Unfortunately, it keeps trying to run Air, so if I'm using the phone, I get thrown into the Air application. If I had an option to run once (or if already running, don't run…

Wakers01 has it right. You aren't using the same bacon that we Americans use. Switzerland had American style pork belly bacon when I visited, while South Africa had bacon that was back bacon when I was there. I didn't miss the pork belly while I was in ZA.

A couple of mouses have met their demise via me. Possibly a hard drive or two, and some floppy drives as well. Then there are the CDs, 3.5", 5 1/2" and 8" floppy disks (Tandy 16 if you must know) that I've been malicious to.

That was for the optional modem.

I salute my GRiDCase 2 that I still have sitting in my bookshelv.

Well, I have done away with Social Fixer, mainly for being assholes. I filed feedback that their extension was causing two alerts, sometimes multiple times depending on how a web page was coded, under Firefox 18. They deleted the feedback, and wanted me to write up the bug on their Facebook page. Facebook for bug…

For reading ebooks, eink, certainly. My Nook Simple Touch lasts for months between charges. Using my phablet Note (1), even plugged in, I lose battery reading on it. A shame, as the Note is practically the same screen size as the Nook, although the Nook is still incredibly readable under the Florida sun.

I'm using the best security there is on my router. I'm wired in, and it's a switch.

Yep, I thought that was interesting as well.

I use Album Reminder.
