Flashing MiFi

On the other hand, sometimes devices can be too small, and I am kind of starting to think that this is a case in point. For example, I really want some sort of battery level indicator. Is the device 90% charged or ten minutes away from being completely dead? It'd be nice to know. There are two indicator lights on the mifi 2200: the button light (which is how you turn the device on and off) and the status light on the edge, adjacent to the micro-USB connector. Each of these can have multiple different colors, as shown in this handy table: LED Color Meaning LED not lit No Power LED BLUE - Solid Device is Powered on and Roaming LED GREEN - Solid Device is powered on and fully charged LED GREEN - Glowing Device is in hibernate LED RED - Blinking Battery is Critically Low. LED AMBER - Solid Battery is Charging LED AMBER - Blinking Error, see Troubleshooting Got it? Four colors , flashing or not flashing, they could actually have eight messages, so Verizon showed a bit of re...

Shamgar Corn Chowder

Image
Title: Shamgar Corn Chowder I decided I was going to spend some time in the kitchen today. The plan was to cut up some fruit I had laying around, and some I had purchased today. Cantelope, watermelon, strawberries, and peaches were on the agenda. When I opened the fridge… I noticed three big ole' pieces of corn that I had wrapped in tinfoil a few nights ago, and baked in the oven. They were still there because…well…. I forgot about them when the meal was served and had left them in the oven as a surprise for my wife later that night. Anyway, I decided I'd make something using them. I spent about 10 minutes looking on the internet for corn chowder recipes, and decided I would make something up instead. It is…after all…the way I prefer to cook. So the ingredients and instructions are below. Ingredients: Hillshire Farms Beer Sausage - 4 dogs cut up about 1/2 inch each Hillshire Farms Kielbosa - cut about 1/2 inch each Three ears of corn (still in the husks) that was left...

Google Account 5:15

Project: Google Accounts Description : Why do we setup Google/Gmail accounts? Project Goals: To clear up any questions on what we are trying to achieve by setting up Gmail accounts for customers. It's clear that there is some confusion about why the customers even need it, since they have email accounts that they can use. Why would anyone want to add another email address they would have to check, when it's hard enough to keep up with the ones they already have. It's because of the services that Gmail offers… for free. It's not possible to compete with these services, so we might as well take advantage of them. Plus, these services also help the users participate in promoting their business, collaborating with partners, and have fun while doing it. It is not possible to give all the benefits (SEO, SEF, Profiles, Blogs, etc) of what comes with the creation of the accounts… so we will narrow it down to ten things(services) that we are going to use the a...

Eye of Round Roast Beef… the easy way

Image
     I'll be honest. There were several things that caught my eye about this recipe. The first was that it was so simple.  Turn the oven on... get stuff hot.... turn the oven off... wait for it to cook.  It seemed so easy that I thought I might give it a try.  If it was good, then I'd have something to show for pretty much ZERO work on my part.  If it didn't, then I hadn't spent much trying it (since the meat on this is based on the the eye of round roast.. which is the cheapest cut of meat you can buy).  The reason it's so cheap is because it's so dog gone tough.  When you eat this stuff, it's hard to tell whether you're biting into shoe leather, or if there's actually some piece of meat hidden in there somewhere.  With this recipe... you'll find out that there IS some value to this cut of meat, and you'll look forward to serving it.      The second thing that caught my eye was that ... The recipe says for the ...

Bread and Butter Pickles

Image
Bread and butter pickles are one of my favorite cucumber pickles. I like a little red pepper in my pickles, but you can leave it out or add a little more. Ingredients: 4 pounds pickling cucumbers 1 large onion, quartered, sliced about 1/4-inch thickness 1/3 cup kosher salt 3 cups cider vinegar 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds, or use half pickling spices 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional Preparation: Wash cucumbers and cut off the ends. Slice crosswise into 1/8-inch slices. Toss in a large bowl with the salt and onion slices; cover with about 4 to 6 cups of ice cubes. Cover and let stand for 4 hours or refrigerate overnight. Prepare the boiling water bath. Add water to a large canner with rack and heat to about 180°. The water should be high enough to be at least 1 inch above the filled jars. I usually fill it about halfway and I keep a kettle or saucepan of water boiling on another burner to add to the canner...
