Using Forms in Wordpress Posts and Pages
February 17th, 2009 · 7 Comments · Computers
I recently made a simple tool to help folks buy the right size of of Levi’s 501xx Shrink to Fit Jeans. It includes a form that takes two numbers as inputs then performs some logic and returns the results on the same page. It was surprisingly easy to do but took me a surprisingly long [...]
Adding Google Adsense Custom Search to Wordpress
February 17th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Computers
So, Adsense has a newish custom search tool for adding to your sites which I rather like. It is flexible and can be embedded easier than the previous searches. The major benefit is the ability to have the search results display on a results page of your choice rather than a standard full page Google-looking [...]

August 23rd, 2007 · No Comments · Computers, DIY
That was the goal at least. This is really an article about when to give up on old hardware (atticware). It’s amazing how injecting a bit of money into a project can really increase the stability and usability of the computers involved. But let’s start at the beginning.

Rockbox on the iPod
August 11th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Computers
I know lots of people will argue the merits of the iPod vs. some new “iPod killer”, but let’s face it, the iPod is one slick piece of hardware. In my opinion the form factor and input are amazing and it has major sex appeal. The software however, has never seemed to hold it’s own. [...]

Motorola RAZR V3: Linux Accessable
August 6th, 2007 · No Comments · Computers
I like my RAZR, but there is only so much that can be accomplished using the phone’s interface itself. I really wanted to take a good look inside and see what makes it tick. While I’m no further along in understanding how it works, I have gained access to it through my Linux desktop. Here’s [...]

MythTV throughout the house
August 5th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Computers, DIY
I have set up a home theater system using MythTV as the backbone. It is basically a single computer that runs both the mythbackend and mythfrontend. After experiencing the joy of grabbing free high definition programming from thin air using a hoop of metal, I wanted to spread that joy throughout my house. Now any [...]
Mythvideo Crashes Mythfrontend
August 4th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Computers
When I installed the Mythvideo plugin for MythTV it was working fine until I started assigning IMDB information to my videos. After doing that every time I would try and start mythvideo the whole frontend would crash. There is not a whole lot of talk about this online so I’ll share what I did to [...]
