iPhone 3G Stuck at Apple Logo

In: Apple, Gecko Rants

For me the nightmare began last night. I was on duty at the station and I looked down and the App Store application informed me there was an update to one of my apps. Since it was late at night and I was unlikely to get a call I decided to go ahead and update [...]

Lessons learned

In: Gecko Rants

Well, I learned a couple of always valuable lessons today. Always, always, back up your WP tables. Second lesson learned, while posting from your iPhone may be convenient, managing your WP blog from your iPhone not so much. While attempting to get the WP iPhone app to work I made a test post. After a [...]

Internet Explorer No More!

In: Gecko Rants

Well, I finally got tired of Internet Explorer. So I blocked it from viewing my site at all. That’s right, IE users will have to find some other site to visit and to be honest I won’t miss them at all. When someone using the IE browser attempts to visit RoamingGecko they get redirected to [...]

Wow, new low for Clinton

In her latest Obama bashing campaign ad, her campaign has just pasted their own title over a news article that is about something entirely different than the headline suggests. Of course, here is the link so you can check it yourself. http://www.hillaryclinton.com/video/182.aspx Check this [...]

Welcome to Roaming Gecko

The Gecko

Welcome to the last page on the Internet. This has to be the last page because I don’t think you would be here if it wasn’t. You have browsed to every other page on the Internet and now you are here because you have read everything else. Well, as long as you are here I will try to entertain you as best I can. Some of the things you might read about on this site will deal with computers, photography, gaming and rescue but I will undoubtedly rant on some off the wall topics every once in a while. So, sit back. Do a little reading on the minutiae of my life and hopefully you’ll get a good laugh out of it from time to time. I’d thank you for stopping by but we both know you didn’t have any where else to be! :)
