Managing Your Passwords with Dropbox

In: Computing, Software

I have had more people than you might think come to me looking for help with forgotten passwords. Most of the time there is little  I can do to recover your password. There is, however, something users can do to make sure they don’t forget their passwords. Use a password manager program. I use a [...]

Test driving Twitterfone

In: Software

As you can see from the blog posts below, I am test driving Twitterfone. Twitterfone is a service that lets you call a phone number and record a message that is then translated into a twitter post for you from that message. I am going to hold off any opinion I have of it until [...]

So, I came across another little app the other day and though I have talked about screen capture already on the Mac this one still needed it’s own mention. Although it doesn’t do anything that you can find in other screen capturing software, what it does do it does with style. I’m not crazy about [...]

Jing – Tech Support Made Easy

Penny Arcade Adventures – Thumbs up!

In: Gaming, Software

So I finally got around to trying the demo for the game based on the hilarious web comic featuring Tycho and Gabe. I have enjoyed their comic for years for the simple reason that I felt that we, the comic artists and I, shared the same opinion of games and the game industry as well [...]

Frostwire

In: Software

Frostwire is basically a straight clone of Limewire. The only difference really is that you don’t have to pay for this version. It’s identical in every way I have found and works just as well if not better. If you are tired of paying for something you can get for free then check it out. [...]

ComicRack: Like iTunes but for your eComics

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! :)
