AppFresh for Easy Updating
16 June 2008 18:08
I have used this program for a while now. Its a wonderful way to stay on top of all your applications for their updates. It scans your installed applications and then goes out and compares it to the most current version of that application. If an update is needed, it will report it to you along with a link to download the latest update. Much easier than doing it yourself with each application installed. You can download this free application from the AppFresh site at Metaquark. For now its free but may change in the future once full development is completed.

Cradlepoint Personal Hot Spot via EVDO/HSDPA (3G)
16 February 2008 17:12
Today I
received the new Cradlepoint
PHS-300 I ordered. This is a
phenominal device. It is a personal WiFi
router that allows you to plug in your EVDO or
HDSPA (3G) broadband USB modem into it and then
share that connection with up to 16 WiFi devices.
You can also use your cell phone as a
tethered modem to provide the 3G connectivity.
You can connect to the WiFi with either
802.11b or 802.11g and includes a complete NAT
with SPI firewall. It features 64/128 bit
WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption and
supports all operating systems and PDAs with WiFi
support. It also includes a Lithium-Ion
battery for up to 3 hours of use (ships with an AC
adapter but you can also purchase a car-adapter to
charge it as well). I use it to
connect my MacBook
Pro and iPhone on the road
allowing me to utilize the faster 3G network with
the iPhone. The best of all
worlds.
