How to Correct Tab Snooze Extension Display
The current version of the Chrome Tab Snooze Extension (version 2.0.17 at this writing) was released in June of 2019, and even though it is over two years old, appears to have worked in all of that time. However, a recent update to Google Chrome – perhaps to Chromium, as it appears to also affect…

How to Recover Default Groups in Google Contacts
The official stance on the three default groups in Google Contacts (Family, Friends and Coworkers) is that they cannot be renamed nor can they be removed. Now I am not going to argue this point, mostly because, unlike Google Alphabet, I am not worth some half a trillion…

Philosophizing About Contests
Yesterday, we spent most of the day at the Red, White and Brew festival, put on by Harley-Davidson of Charlotte (which, incidentally, is located in Matthews). This latter fact is neither here nor there. As with many festivals we have attended of late, it was a little sparse…

Keep TiVo Premiere Recording Suggestions
Not long ago, I wrote about how I had to reset our TiVo Premiere to get suggestions working again. It worked great – suggestions came back, for the first time in months. Essentially the first time since we had had the unit. The problem is that they soon…

Prism Needed to be Transparent
With all the hubbub from the announcement that the government can snoop on pretty much anything they like – first Verizon calls, then later almost anything on the internet via a program named Prism (save Twitter, because that's so important), it leaves me wondering why there is such…

Cut Down Government Services Already
It seems like just about each time I drive down some street or another, I end up stuck behind a row of buses. Yes, a row of buses. Okay, two may not actually qualify as "a row", but just how many do you need? One would surely do…

Cannot Link to Secure Site in Movable Type
I recently had a client where everything was working fine – but they were unable to link to any secure (https) sites when creating entries in Movable Type. Unfortunately, there were no messages to be found, and everything worked just fine – as long as there were no…
