			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There may be a few of us left out there who don&#8217;t have an iphone, but WordPress for Blackberry v1.0 is now available. Although this is a 1.0 application, it has gone through several 0.xx versions so should be stable enough to use.</p>
<p>The blog posting at the <a href="http://blackberry.wordpress.org/download/">Blackberry WordPress blog</a> has the full details including the <a href="http://blackberry.wordpress.org/install">over the air installation</a> link. This means you do not have to download the blackberry app store to the Blackberry just to download the WordPress application.</p>
<p>The one big feature I like about this new version is that it shows pending comments so you can now approve them from the Blackberry without having to log into the main website.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;">I am a big fan of two factor authentication where possible for high value logins. This is where you enter a changing number to go with your password.  This number comes from a device you carry with you.  In particular I use the free Verisign mobile token on my iPhone.  They make it for many other cell phones.  You can install and use it for free with services like paypal, ebay, some banks and even with the free service called PiP (Personal Identity Portal)  from Verisign.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 12px;">The free token program can be found at:<br />
<a title="Mobile Token" href="https://vipmobile.verisign.com/" target="_blank">https://vipmobile.verisign.com/</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 12px;">You can get a pip account and use it for any site that supports openID.  Giving you two factor authentication even for a lot of blog commenting and forum systems.  PiP can be found at:<br />
<a href="https://pip.verisignlabs.com/">https://pip.verisignlabs.com/</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 12px;">Verisign has a quick demo video of the mobile token on youTube.  Check it out and add some extra protection to your accounts.  Especially if you use eBay or paypal.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past several months, I have to say that I&#8217;ve been pretty darn lucky. It started out where after having worked in the IT department for most all of my professional career that my job was going away, a victim to outsourcing.  I pretty much expected it when we were first acquired by &#8220;Giant Corp&#8221; &#8212; it was just a matter of when.</p>
<p>Fortunately for me, I was able to cash in on my podcasting experience and parlay a position within our User Education department.  My IT skills, coupled with my podcasting experience, meant I was able to continue working at the same company with the same people I enjoyed working with but just doing something else &#8212; something that was equally, if not more, exciting than what I&#8217;d been doing for so many years before.</p>
<p>They today, lady luck was on my side yet again.  Upon making my move in to the User Ed department at work, I&#8217;ve been working on my eLearning certificate from the University of Washington.  During that time, I&#8217;ve kept a blog (off and on) of my endeavor.  During these last few months I&#8217;ve been working with all sorts of eLearning software &#8212; one piece of software I&#8217;ve become very fond of, but unable to convince my boss to purchase a copy.</p>
<p>Well&#8230;  this evening, my blog was stumbled upon by an individual from the company who makes the piece of software that I am so fond of and asked me if I was interested in participating in an upcoming beta of their product.</p>
<p>So, you just never know&#8230; There&#8217;s a good chance what you blog about or podcast about may work in your favor at some time in the future.  A new job position or a chance to play with some cool software, you just never know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are times when you want to give out a phone number but you do not want to give out a live direct number.  This happened to me when making some contact information cards for the library classes I volunteer teach.  I certainly did not want to be giving out my cell phone number to just anyone who showed up for the classes.  So I dusted off something I setup a while back.  <a href="http://www.grandcentral.com/">Grandcentral.com</a>.</p>
<p>Grandcentral is now a Google owned property.  It lets you pick a phone number you can keep effectively for life.  The fun then begins. You can import the contact information from your computer and teach it how to route calls based on who is calling.  So you could setup one number and if it is your spouse it rings your cell number and work number effectively forwarding the call.  If it is an unknown stranger you can have it go to voicemail instead.  Then Grandcentral will even email you a link you can click to play any recorded voicemail.  Optionally you can have it SMS your cell phone to notify you of voicemail.</p>
<p>You can setup rules so certain contact numbers only get forwarded to certain real numbers for you such as home, work and cell.  You can do this by grouping those contacts as well.  </p>
<p>So if you have need to share a common number but want the control to protect your direct number privacy then Grandcentral is a great tool.  It is free so create an account and give it a whirl.</p>
<p>PS You can even change the routing rules based on callerID from the call logs.  So if someone starts bugging you, just route them to call blocked&#8230; =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day my dad got me some new type nimh rechargable batteries from costco.  They are called <a href="http://www.eneloop.info/">Eneloop</a> made by Sanyo.</p>
<p>I have been using them for several weeks now.  Both in my Altec Lansing inMotion ipod portable speakers and in my Canon S2 IS camera.  They last amazingly long and recharge way faster than my Energizer batteries.  Usually the energizers can go dead within a few days.  They also take over 30 minutes to charge on their own 15 minute speed charger.  The eneloops can last over a year charged without use.  They even come charged in the package.  I also just charged a set of four AAs in 10 minutes on my Energizer charger.  </p>
<p>They just rock.  Finally what rechargeable batteries should have been all along.  I definitely recommend these to anyone who wants to be a little green and not use disposable batteries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was listening to Techometria with <a href="http://www.windley.com/">Phil Windley</a> on <a href="http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/">IT Conversations</a>.  I just found out <a href="https://www.opendns.com/">OpenDNS</a> has added more category blocking now.  It goes beyond just Phishing and Adult content.  Say you want to block p2p, file storage and webmail for your organization to reduce likelihood of someone getting to sites to bypass your protections.  Now you can.  Just setup a login and you can block the categories you need.  Very cool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I ran into a problem trying to make copies of a CD full of documents. The copy process in Nero threw me a number of unreadable errors, even trying to copy each folder at a time put me headfirst into a cyclic redundancy check error, which told me all I needed to know about the state of the physical media. Of course, just saying &#8220;Sorry it&#8217;s not readable&#8221; without trying something wasn&#8217;t an option, so off to Google I went.</p>
<p>I found a little utility called <a href="http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/cd.html">Recovery Toolbox for CD Free</a>. Once installed, I launched it and had it copy off all the data from the CD. It took a little while, and made some odd noises in the CD drive when it hit the files that resided on the bad sectors of the CD, but it did recovery everything off the CD, which then allowed me to go ahead and make a copy of copies of it.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t complain about a tool that does the job!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yet more records get lost by businesses this year.  Some closer to home for me than others.  So just to be safe I decided to track down my Fed guaranteed annual credit report.  Here is all you have to do if you are a USA resident.  If you go to any site but this one they could be selling you a service.  This is the site the agencies setup in response to the Federal law to provide the annual free report.  If you do not want to check it online you can request it via phone or mail.</p>
<li>Make sure your antivirus, antispyware is up to date and run a scan.  Just to check for any obvious spyware on your machine.  I would not do this from a public hotspot either.</li>
<li>Go To <a href="https://www.annualcreditreport.com/">https://www.annualcreditreport.com/</a></li>
<li>Pick all three credit agencies during the process.</li>
<li>Make sure you don&#8217;t pick the part to get your credit score, just the report please and thank you.</li>
<li>I would not give them my email either, sure they will mail you to remind you next year to check it again but then they will likely nag you with other stuff too.</li>
<li>Once you finish the process of filling out various sensitive bits of information to confirm your identity it will give you a nice summary.</li>
<li>Save it in a safe place preferably encrypt it in case you need it later.  Personally I printed to PDF and then encrypted the file with blowfish encryption.  Windows users can use the latest winzip for a nice level of encryption.</li>

<p>I REALLY didn&#8217;t want to reimage my machine just because of this one glitch &#8212; let me rephrase that&#8230;  I was NOT going to reimage my machine because of this one glitch!  But I still needed to get a certain application uninstalled and I also didn&#8217;t want to have to manually uninstall it.</p>
<p>I dug around on Microsoft&#8217;s site looking for a KB article on the issue, but nothing I found offered any relief.  Then I came upon <a href="http://www.ccleaner.com/">CCleaner</a>.</p>
<p>Not only am I able to uninstall my apps now, I can do so many other things, like&#8230; clear temporary files, URL history, cookies from IE, Firefox or Opera, but also clean out the Recycle Bin, MRU lists, temp files, and clean up the registry.</p>
<p>A very handy tool&#8230;  and best of all, it&#8217;s freeware!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.jingproject.com/">Jing</a> is a nifty free tool to create quick and simple screencasts.  Even better, <a href="http://www.screencast.com">screencast.com</a> will host your screencasts for you for free!</p>
<p>As an example, here is a <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/khdevin/filechute/AddPhotos2GroupsOnFlickr.swf" title="Quick Screencast" target="_blank">link to a quick screencast</a> I did to help a family member add photos to a group on Flickr.</p>
