Not much blogging going on from me
Not much blogging going on from me
Hi,
I am in the middle of preparing my home to put on the market later this summer. So wont be spending alot of time online or blogging or visiting some of my favorite blogs.
I have 40+ yrs worth of accumulation of "STUFF" in my home to go through. My dear late husband also was as much a collector and keeper of everything and anything - as I am. There are lots of decisions to make on what Ill keep and or want to save for my new life in Florida some day.
Wish me luck..Ill try to post some pics of my progress.
Update 4/28/2009 : My sister (who came up from Florida for me) helped me go through my clutter the past couple weeks - and I made decisions on lots of items. She packed up 100 small to medium boxes of things "I" am saving and going to put in storage so that the house is less cluttered when I stage it for selling.
Eventually - Im going to have to hold a large Yard Sale...and then donate what doesnt sell.
Wow what a overwhelming process this whole thing is.
Next week the POD arrives and the boxes will get put in there and then go to a storage place.
Kinda crowded around here now.

Open a Facebook fan page from Android application
Open a Facebook fan page from Android application
I’d like to share how to invoke FB fanpage from your Android application programmatically. Before that please get your FB fanpage ID. TO find your FB fanpage ID , LOGIN to your fanpage. Find the Edit Page button and choose any option from the Admin menu. The fanpage ID is located in the URL after the keyword ID. Select and Copy the number.
***Or you could find the page ID at the Edit Page –> Update Page Info, in the Page Info window, look at the bottom (last detail).
This is the code to invoke the FB fanpage on the mobile user’s smartphone from your app. Provide the FB app is installed.
Intent ifb=new Intent (Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
String uri="fb://page/613598055326974"; //your FB fanpage ID is here
Uri.parse(uri);
ifb.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(ifb);
Updated:
If you consider maybe the phone doesn’t has Facebook app installed, may be you’d like to redirect to a browser instead. Then below is the code;
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://page/129569063811850"));
startActivity(intent);
} catch(Exception e) {// or else open in browser instead
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://facebook.com/mmathurat")));

On Vacation but Java updates from Oracle and Apple Be sure to have the UNmessed up Apple Java update!!! and Adobe Flash Update
On Vacation but Java updates from Oracle and Apple Be sure to have the UNmessed up Apple Java update!!! and Adobe Flash Update
--
Im on a break while I work on other things. But here is some quickie news. I expect, if youre a regular reader, you know how to dig up the URLs and CVE reports by now.
I) MASSIVE CRITICAL Java update from both Oracle and Apple, including 40 (FORTY) security patches. Apples update is for Java version 1.6 only, the part of Java included in OS X. The update is for OS X 10.6 - 10.8.
II) Apple MESSED-UP their original Java update release, which was labeled "JavaForOSX2013-003". This mess KILLED Java and must be updated with what replaced it: "JavaForOSX2013-004". From my experience, Software Update did NOT provide me with the updated version. I had to grab oo4 myself and apply it myself. You may have to do so as well.
Here is an article to help you sort out whether you got STUNG by Apples mess or not, and how to clean it up. Thank you to 9to5Mac.com:
Bug in Apple Java update – now fixed, but check you have the correct version
III) Adobe tossed out a scheduled Flash update that patched one critical security hole. If you use Flash any more, be sure you have applied this latest update.
OTHER AMUSING NEWS:
Im running into hilarious FUD about the MacKeeper crapware from none other than one of their competitors. They claim you can REMOVE crappy MacKeeper by installing THEIR crappy software instead. Needless to say, avoid replacing crap with crap. If you foolishly installed MacKeeper, go to their website to learn how to UNinstall it.
Also amusing: Apparently crappy MacKeeper has been sold to some other company, who apparently have changed none of crappy ZeoBITs evil marketing moron tactics. But at least it is good to know that everyones efforts to kick ZeoBIT in the dangly bits has been successful. ZeoBIT is now out of the picture, hurray. Lets hope their crapware is soon to follow.
Also note: There has been a rash of Microsoft Office specific malware. I personally dont care or follow such malware. Youre on your own if you still put up with Microsoft. But its worth noting that Office malware continues. Check out my net buddy Thomas Reeds The Safe Mac security blog for details. I believe Intego and Sophos have been following this scourge as well. Links to their sites are on the right of this page.
Enjoy the summer!
Stay cool.
Stay kewl.

New way removing virus from a computer
New way removing virus from a computer
STEP 1:what I did is that i created a secondary account on my computer for backup plan if my main account is infected badly were the antivirus program wont come up and get rid of the virus.
STEP 2:hold the power button on your computer until it turns off. let it sit for a minute or two. turn it back on and log in when the log in screen comes up. click on the antivirus program that you bought. if your antivirus program doesnt come up and you tried everything. then log off or shutdown your computer and use your secondary
account you created.
STEP 3: go to the control panel on your seconary account and click on USER ACCOUNTS AND FAMILY SAFETY. then go to ADD OR REMOVE USER ACCOUNTS after that then click on the user account and then click on delete user account. it will get rid of the account. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE TOO.
