CyanogenMod 7 part3: Return of the Jedi

Well, 3 days, that is all it took for me to miss Cyanogen so much that I got back to it. In fairness, latest leaked Samsung 2.3.3 (JVK) is by far the best ROM I have tested from them but Cyanogen is so much nicer (and kept all the nice Gingerbread enhancements). There were still […]

IPv6 readyness

INEX in Ireland has launched a nice initiative where you can register your site as IPv6 Ready, mine passed 🙂 Thanks to Sean, he sent me a nice link to make your Google site IPv6 ready (if you are using your own DNS).

Redshift

I am almost sure i mentioned that somewhere on the internet before but I cannot for the life of me find any reference on any of my sites. So, I thought I’d do a quick entry here. If like me you spend many hours on your computer, you know all about eyes tireness. Well all […]
