More Wireless Range and Stability

ByHenry Neufeld August 4, 2007

This device looks interesting. I haven’t had an opportunity to test it yet, but hopefully I will. I know someone to whom I’m going to recommend it.

It’s an intelligent wireless router, the Ruckus Mediaflex NG and it should improve range and stability. The MSNBC tester definitely saw improvement. Considering the number of cases in which business especially have weak signals in far corners, this device could be a godsend. Unfortunately, it’s not listed on Amazon.com, so I can’t add it to my store. One source for it is MobilePlanet.

Documents to Go Sync on Palm Centro

ByHenry Neufeld February 1, 2008

I’m sure there are those who picked up on this much more quickly, but in case anyone else gets stalled on synchronizing their Documents-to-Go documents on this little beast (Palm Centro) I thought I’d write a little bit about it. This whole thing illustrates the reason I say that computers are easy, but phones mess…

HP Deskjet 6988 with Ubuntu

ByHenry Neufeld January 6, 2009

Since I always like to check for other people who have used particular hardware items before I buy, I thought I’d write a short post about this printer. First, the print is beautiful and the printer is extremely easy to use. The one complaint I found in some reviews is quite accurate: It shakes, rattles,…

ByHenry Neufeld October 7, 2016

Back in my earlier days in electronics, as the glaciers receded, the NiCad battery was a new, great, and often expensive thing. We were taught to frequently let the battery drain and then recharge, as the cycle helped condition the battery. I get asked this question frequently regarding modern cell-phone batteries, and I admit my…

Amazon Eating the World?

ByHenry Neufeld October 5, 2011October 5, 2011

There’s an interesting article in Bloomsberg BusinessWeek titled Amazon, the Company that Ate the World. The title may seem just a bit over the top, but the content is interesting. I enjoyed the commentary on Amazon.com‘s business strategy. I admit to some concern as companies like Apple and now even Google try to lock up…

Ditto and Mimeograph Machines

ByHenry Neufeld December 26, 2009

I was fascinated to find a discussion of the difference between a ditto machine and a mimeograph. For what it’s worth, my memory of the difference between the two is the same as Michael Sheehan indicated in his post. The Ditto machine used masters that had a carbon based (I believe) substance on them, and…

Have You Checked the Cable

ByHenry Neufeld June 27, 2008

This was just a funny experience I had diagnosing a client’s network problem over the phone. Fortunately I had a young man on the other end of the line who reported accurately. (For those who receive customer service, one of the largest problems for the service tech is getting an accurate picture of where you…
