What Facebook Should Admit
WebProNews quotes a long answer to the question many advertisers are asking about organic reach via their pages on Facebook. Facebook spokespeople have been trying to answer this question for a long time, and advertisers just aren’t satisfied. I have a number of problems with Facebook, which I will outline below, but the way they’re…

Firefox Solves Font Issue with SBL New Testament on Bible Gateway
I’ve had problems with two sites that I use a great deal when accessed from my Android tablet or phone. These are Bible Gateway, when using the SBL Greek New Testament and Nestle-Aland.com when reading the NA28 Greek NT online. There are quite a number of complex solutions to font problems on Android. In this…

Your Computer is a Tool – Learn to Use It
One of the interesting things I’ve discovered in doing computer and small network support for professionals and small businesses is that many professionals don’t really want to spend any time learning to use their computer. I don’t mean that they don’t want to become experts. Why should they? It’s a tool for them to get…

Forgetting Which Computer I’m Using
This is not so much a technical note as one about the weird way the brain works, though you may need some technical knowledge to understand what happened. It’s not complex, however, and the problem is strictly one of the way the brain functions. The other day I had what I thought was a bug…

My local Publix grocery store has been remodeling for a few weeks. In general, I don’t care for the reorganization. That’s because I’m a list shopper, and not a browser. I am looking for specific things and I like them to stay in the same place. But that wasn’t the fail I noticed. In reorganization…

WordPress Multisite, Multiple Root Domains, htaccess
Sometimes those who know how things like a .htaccess file works fail to mention really simple things. So I’m going to mention this one. I have a site with multiple domain names that I want to consolidate. Thus I’m creating a single site, but because of numerous existing links, I want the domain names to…

Reminder: Install Only What You Want
I’m just calling attention to this again, because I so frequently find all kinds of utilities on people’s machines. They don’t know what they are and don’t use them. They come from add-ons to installations. I wrote about this just under a year ago, in a post titled Security and Performance Tip: Installing Software. The…

Converting 13 Digit ISBNs to 10 (And Vice Versa)
The formulas for this, which will work in LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) Calc, are to be found at User Offline: How to write a spreadsheet formula for ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 and ASIN. Considering that post is dated in 2008, I thought it worthwhile to add another link. I wanted to do this, but to ISBNs with…
