My Host Sold To Another Company

Published by Cynthia under Daily Posts,Techie

UGH… I hate it when companies sell. I loved Steadcom. They were so awesome. I was with them for three years. They hosted my VPS and their support was amazingly fast. And they were really affordable, too. I was hoping I could have my VPS with them forever… Alas, companies sell. I don’t know why [...]

Got My MacBook Back!

Published by Cynthia under Techie

I got my MacBook back! And it wasn’t gone for long at all. I dropped it off Wednesday, and picked it up on Friday. Not too bad. And they didn’t mention anything about spill damage. So they didn’t find any, which is good, because I haven’t spilled anything on it at all. I hope they [...]

Ubuntu Is Pretty Nice

Published by Cynthia under Techie

So since my MacBook is in the shop, I’ve been using my old Windows Vista laptop that makes a horrid noise, and the battery no longer keeps a charge. It’s under warranty (extended) until July, so once my MacBook comes back, this old (old, as in almost 3 years, lol) laptop will go to the [...]

The MacBook Is Officially In The Shop

Published by Cynthia under Techie

So I dropped the MacBook off at the shop today. I was able to download a free application that allowed my old Windows laptop to read the Mac files. I copied them off, and put them on my external hard drive I have for my backups. So my pictures and movies are safe. When my [...]

Broken MacBook

Published by Cynthia under Daily Posts

Yup, I did it. Somehow I broke my MacBook. I really don’t know how, but it just won’t turn on. UGH! Makes me mad. My husband is a sweetie and took it to the stop for me. They say they probably want to wipe the hard drive and so I have to back the whole [...]

Liking My Camcorder

Published by Cynthia under Techie

Earlier this year I bought an RCA EZ300HD CamCorder and I really like it! It’s small, has a pretty good quality video, and it’s easy to use. The settings are pretty limited but good enough for such a small toy. And it’s HD! I love HD. Sure it’s not the highest quality HD in the [...]

Web Stuff Drives Me Nuts

Published by Cynthia under Chatter,Techie

Bleh… I’m trying to get to a sub-directory on my VPS and for some reason I’m not able to. Hrm… I wonder why not. The problem with having such a rotten memory is.. I probably did something, changed a setting, a while ago so as to disable this, and forgot what I did. I mean, [...]

Managing iPhoto and Backing Up

Published by Cynthia under Chatter,Techie

I do love my MacBook and I’ll never go back to a windows machine if I can help it. I am wondering one thing, though. I want to back up my photos to my external hard drive and I’m having a hard time figuring out how with just Finder. I guess I can use the [...]

Convert AVI to MP4 for iMovie on the Mac

Published by Cynthia under Techie

Okay so I have been scouring the web looking for ways to convert the AVI files that my EZShare RCA Camera records movies in, into a format that iMovie on my Mac can use. Dang, it’s been a tough fight. But I’ve learned that AVI is merely a container, it’s not the actual codec. The [...]

My Mac is Amazing

Published by Cynthia under Techie

Okay, I’m sold. I’ll never buy another windows machine again. I love my MacBook. It runs fast and clean. Installing and removing applications easily and completely. It doesn’t come with a bunch of junk applications that I have to remove, like windows does. The applications just feel lighter… cleaner. They are not so heavy that [...]
