Better backups

Back your data up! That concludes lesson number one. An external hard drive can be a lifesaver; as I discovered a few years back when my laptop hard drive went to heaven (actually, hopefully it went to hell, since it died on me at an inconvenient time). I lost several personal files. With that out [...]

Verizon Blackberry Tour 9630 keeps rebooting after update to OS 5.0.0.591

Recently I wirelessly updated my Verizon Blackberry Tour to the new OS 5.0.0.591 version that was officially released.

HTC’s Touch Pro – The Luxury Car With A Hamster On A Wheel For An Engine

About two months ago I decided to switch wireless phone carriers and get myself a new phone. At the time I was with T-Mobile and had the HTC Dream; known more commonly as the T-Moblie G1. My decision to switch from T-Mobile stemmed mostly from the fact that their coverage in Southern Utah isn’t terribly [...]

How to get Plantronics Voyager 510 headset to work with Windows Vista (PLT-510)

Recently I installed an IOGear Bluetooth USB micro adapter into my desktop computer running Windows Vista. The installation went smoothly, almost instantaniously, in fact. Vista recognized the device immediately and installed the drivers for it within less than 20 seconds. After this I paired my Plantronics Voyager 510 with my computer by putting the PLT-510 [...]
