While composing an email on my iPhone I noticed that a bunch of ancient email addresses were showing up when I click the to: field. At first I thought they were saved in my contacts somewhere and I could delete them, but they weren’t, and I couldn’t. Turns out the iPhone is saving all the [...]

TiVo iPhone App in Worse Shape Than Greece
October 11th, 2011 
justinSo I’ve been a TiVo user for most of the last decade, recently retiring my old Series 2 boxes and picking up a Premiere. It’s got a lot of good things going for it but has some strange polish problems too, like why do some of the menus still show up in the old 4:3 [...]
MiniKeePass Brings KeePass to iPhone
October 7th, 2011 justinWhen I started using KeePass earlier this year the best app on the iPhone to access those passwords was MyKeePass, it cost a buck, was rarely updated and only worked with KeePass databases of v2.14 or prior. Cruising the AppStore to see if someone released a better program turned up MiniKeePass, released in July. It works [...]
Apple TV Slideshow Speed Unchangeable [Update: Sort Of?]
October 4th, 2011 justinWell this one was a little surprising, the latest Apple TV (2nd generation, software v4.3) doesn’t have the option to change the speed of your slideshow. All my other devices let me set the length of time between slides; TiVo, Panasonic TV, Boxee Box, but why not the Apple TV? It apparently switches slides based [...]
Wake-on-LAN: Configuring Your PC, Tomato & iPhone
April 1st, 2011 justinSo this article at Lifehacker got me thinking about setting up Wake-on-LAN (WoL) for my system. For several years I just left my PC on 24/7 to VNC into it anytime, which I stopped doing because it was a massive waste of electricity (i.e. money dollars). I don’t need into my computer remotely very often but WoL [...]
Securely Access Your Tomato Router Remotely
April 1st, 2011 justinWhile I was configuring Wake-on-LAN for my computers I took some time to enable remote access to my Tomato router and secure it properly, this forum post was especially helpful. Under Administration->Admin Access the most important settings are: Under Local Access choose HTTP & HTTPS or just HTTPS, the default ports of 80 and 443 [...]
Sync iOS Device to a New Computer? You Are Screwed.
March 25th, 2011 justinSyncing your iPhone/iPad/iTouch with a new computer should be a piece of cake right? People get new computers or have to format old computers all the time. Turns out it is actually impossible to do without losing something; your music or videos, maybe your program data like saved games or the layout and organization of [...]
Delete Duplicate Google Contacts From Your iPhone
March 3rd, 2011 justinSo at some point my iPhone reverted to storing contacts on the phone instead of on my Google account. You can see if some contacts are only on the iPhone by opening your contacts list, then clicking the Groups button in the top left. If you see any “stored on my phone” then they aren’t [...]
